About CRKT Berserker Axe: Two Handed Outdoor Axe
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
77% praised the sharp and durable blade, while 23% found it needed frequent sharpening
I cleaned the edge of the blade with a diamond stone in about an hour. The workmanship is good.
I complained about the quality of the axe blade. The head was twisted, causing misalignment with the handle. The replacement also had a non-symmetrical section on the beard.
When I received it, the blade was not sharp.
77% praised the rugged and reliable construction, though 23% experienced damage
I find the fit and finish of CRKT Tomahawks significantly better than Cold Steel Tomahawks.
I can fix the issue myself by cutting a notch in the end of the handle and adding a wedge, but it is not the way it is designed.
I complained about the poor build quality of the axe, including the twisted head and uneven beard shape. The replacement handle was also too thin and even worse than the first one.
I have complained that the axe handle lacks a poly finish, making it feel like raw exposed wood. This results in the hickory splintering easily while using it, requiring me to wear gloves.

The handle of the axe is too short and not strong enough.
The axe is made of bone dry unfinished but stained wood and doesn't look or feel oiled.
73% liked the comfortable and balanced handle, but 27% found it slippery
The handle of the axe is twisted, causing a lot of torque and putting unsafe side pressure on the wrist while using it.
The handle of the axe seems too short and not very strong.
I swapped handles with another CRKT and found that it handles much better. I can swing it around barehanded without getting splinters.
66% appreciated the built-in safety features, although 34% found them insufficient
Using the axe with the handle can be unsafe as it twists in your hand and puts pressure on your wrist with every swing.
