wonderful weight and size...bought the 24(?)inch too. can't see me needing that unless i became a lumberjack.
perfect for car camping, don't think i'd bring it backpacking, but if you can carry the weight of its solid construction it'll do some damage.
i also own an eswing hammer and equal in quality and reliability. great products all around, and made just south of the border. no boat ride for this guy!!
