Well I've had used the axe extensively now and what an all round axe this is! it beats the other ramped up price swedish brands with wood handles you know the ones I'm talking about 
the wood handles would of broke long ago on all those, this axe has destroyed with ease this wet freshly cut cherry wood, even smashing through and separating knots!
Also chops well, so a two in one axe here highly recommended and this axe costs around £15!

After seeing this review because of it showing up on a guest's search I feel the need to comment; This type of axe is designed primarily for splitting softwoods and definitely not made for cross cutting as in the pictures. While this review is very positive I'm always dubious about axes with plastic composite handles.

As you said it’s a splitting maul rather than an axe so unsurprisingly it’s better at splitting wood than a woodsmans axe.
My last splitting maul was similarly cheap and plastic handled Aldi special; it gave good service for about eight years and then the head came off the handle with no option to reattach it.
