## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Initial Flying Fox review
*by B***. on June 7, 2025*

I got my Flying Fox today.I saw the reviews before I got it, ignored the negative ones and got it as I want to learn to throw.It came in a bag with the blade edge plastidipped. Meh, it's something.The edge itself came well ground; straight, even and reasonably sharp. No problem.Both poll and bit have the blue color of hardening present so that's good too.The head was well and firmly placed without any loose or sloppy areas and well trimmed.The hickory handle is of surprisingly high quality whether by design or accident.The grain is all uniformly vertical as is seen in the handle's end and there's no apparent grain runoff the length of it.It's lightly finished but nasty and best refinished.I'd say I got an excellent appearing product and I'm initially very pleased.I'll update some day after getting up off the couch and trying to throw it at something.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another great council tool axe!
*by J***A on February 9, 2025*

Such a good value axe. Strong and tempered to perfection. The lightweight flying fox is great for camping as well as throwing. Sticks with ease. The handle can use a little sanding but when you do it is very comfortable in the hand with little to no hot spots. Easy to sharpen it holds its edge with the best of them. It is a production tool so when you recieve it I always suggest you check the head alignment in case it is off you can return it easily to get another one. This usually isn't a big issue with council tool as their QC is pretty good with most if not all being hand inspected. At least that is one of their claims. I personally love their products and recommend the flying fox as a great little camp axe!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get What You Pay For
*by L***T on March 9, 2025*

For starters, this not a top tier production axe like Granfors Bruks, but it also by no means a $15 dollar store special. This is a great intro axe for someone wanting their first quality axe without the $150+ price tag. On the other hand, this is an excellent choice for a yard/rough work axe in those situations where you don’t want to risk damaging a $200 axe. This one also has a hardened poll, which makes it an ideal yard tool. That said, mine arrived unsharped, which was not a huge issue for me to fix, but sharpening and profiling an axe bit is not a skill everyone has. If you are experienced in axe maintenance (or sharpening in general) and have a file and puck handy you have nothing to worry about. I actually kind of liked being able to customize the edge to my preference out of the gate. It’s not quite as hard of steel like some higher end axes, but does that lends to better field maintainability. The haft isn’t of the most ideal grain orientation, but it’s adequate for a work axe. So, you get what you pay for folks. It’s got “good bones” if you will regardless. Even if you need to put a better haft on it at some point, the head itself honestly is great quality, and i had little trouble getting mine to perform on par with some of my higher end axes.
