Allan A-23L

Full disclosure: I am not a viking ship builder.
I was fortunate enough to buy this from Ragnar himself over a decade ago, and it has been my camping axe ever since. The hammer poll is great for tent stakes and anything else that need bashing, and I've split miles of firewood without stressing the handle even a little. The through-the-top handle has never loosened up while working, but pops right out with a few taps on the heel end. It's the heaviest of the Allan axes but it throws great. I'd buy it again but I'll probably never need to replace it.

The axe head is awesome…the handle is pathetic…unfinished and not sanded…feels like a big ax on a super weak piece of broomstick
