I was about to buy an axe, then I saw all of these pictures of this damn thing breaking in the same spot, near the logo... Wranglermeme said this axe was gud!

What should I buy instead that is similarly sized and doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Do you realise how much abuse you gotta do to break a chunk of steel like that? These axes are not being used for their intended purpose. I get that tools need to withstand rough use but there comes a point where you need to use your head and take care of your tools as well.

Out of every few hundred or thousand of these axes made, there'll be a bad one, it's just how it is, there's always a bad product among good ones. Warranty covers that anyway, assuming you didn't do some stupid shit with it.

Yeah, that is fucking retarded. Axes are often 2 pieces of forged metal. The edge has high carbon and the rest of the head has low carbon. The stamp is just about the area where the two metals are forge welded together. Basically, the worst of the worst places to put a retarded stamp on it.

Put a 35° chisel grind on it and keep using it, or take it back to where you bought it and get an exchange or a refund. You could also just get an Estwing camp axe that will serve you well. My.02 cents.

Love my stripped and convexed BK2, however I will say that the BK9 is far more versatile as a knife, chopper, and froe. The BK2 is more of a knife, chopper, and wedge.

Yeah no, the whole head is tool steel, just like Gransfors, Wetterlings and Hults Bruk. The only people that forge weld 2 pieces of steel together are generally custom makers. If i remember correctly, gransfors just use a whole billet of tool steel to make the head, no forge welding.

And when I finally break it I can go right back to Sears (assuming they haven't shit the bed by then) and get a free replacement. If they are gone I'll just buy another $30 hardware store axe and abuse it for a decade.

Exactly this OP, don't drop 200 dollarydoos on something that might last 5 years before it's fucked and you can't get a replacement because the shit company that focuses more on aethstetics is long dead. Go drop $40 on a craftsman or something you won't get attached to.

Right? I have one of those 'shitty' Fiskars hatchets with the hollow plastic handle that my dad got me a few years back. I split kindling with it, split halves in to quarters when I don't wanna go outside, beat stuff with it like a hammer, abuse the ever loving he'll out of it. Four years, still in tact, works just fine.

Would be even better if I bothered to sharpen it.

Using full tool steel for an axe head reduces the axes life time and makes it prone to breaking more easily.
