I use it as a falling axe for setting wedges and trimming light branches. I can't wait to pickup some of their other axes as I need them.

Cool, I just got one of these, a 3.5lb "large splitting axe", just to use for splitting. I took a few swings with it this weekend and it is awesome.

I searched around the net for it, almost everyone had it on backorder. I found one at an obscure backpack website and swooped it up. They said it was the last in stock.
