Helko Werk Classic Expedition Axe - 4.5 Lb American Felling Axe with 35 inch Handle

The Helko Werk Classic Expedition Axe
Handmade in Germany
The Expedition is as big as they come, and is the workhorse of the Classic line. This serious working axe is best reserved for the heaviest and most difficult jobs. The size may be intimidating to newcomers, but the Expedition is fully capable of clearing your property and heating your home (provided you have the stamina to put it to use). Its heavy 4 ½ pound head delivers incredible striking power in the hands of a controlled operator. The head is buffed and polished to a highly reflective finish that reduces cutting friction and improves rust resistance.

Hi
Is this axe suitable only as a dead weight or maybe you can show some serious chopping
Regards

Yeah, i have the same impression, it is just kind of show off piece

The axes are great, just a bad video.

Are you kidding me? I was interested in either the Forester or Expedition and if went by this video, I wouldn't even think twice. What is this company trying to sell, this rough looking guy? For sure it's not an ax video! An ax cologne for the woods?
