Just as cool as you think it's going to be!!!
"If you're thinking about getting an M48 Ax, do it. You will not be disappointed. I just got mine today, and it's everything I thought it would be. It feels heavy duty in the hands, and feels like it can take a beating. The blade cover locks onto the blade nicely, so you don't have to worry about cutting your hand if you use it as a walking stick. It's nice and long too, I'm 6 foot 8 and I can use it as a walking stick without having to lean forward. Hurry and get one before it sells out."
