In this case it is excellent. Great blade. Nice handle. Solid sheath. Mine will be less pretty in a few weeks. Thanks Gransfors.
I've used it mostly for preparing spoon blanks, and staves, but also for making post stakes for fencing in trees I plant, in fitting pieces for free-form construction projects of garden structures mostly, and also as one of the primary tools I used in shaping the components for a "shave-horse" I made with entirely hand tools, and the only power tools being a drill driver. I've also contemplated If it would be useful for shaping the outside of a dugout canoe, but haven't tried that yet.
So It has a diverse range of applications it is not explicitly for one thing (lest carving on a broad scale), but it is by no means an "all in one" tool, its to big to be used for many more finite applications, but along with another smaller hatchet and/or large knife, I think it's better to have than an "all in one" axe.
It really is a powerhouse at slicing through wood and reducing material.
