Great Value For Money The Cold Steel Trail Boss Camping or Bushcraft Axe Product Review

I wanted an affordable axe that I could take a beating to but wanted a nice summer like the grandfors or hultafor axe which are about twice or more expensive.

The Trail Boss from Cold Steel ended up being a nice find. It’s been on the market for a few years, but needed something that could do dirty jobs and not worry about keeping it in pristine condition due to the price.

Overall I found this axe to be a great addition to camp, clearing trail and other tree cutting tasks. I needed a sharpening stone as the axe came out of the box rather dull. A quick 10 min session gave it enough of an edge that I could get some work done.

Getting dark a lot quicker in the woods tonight. Clipped the @robocopp on the backpack #outdoors #gear #safetygear
