I recently tested mine against well cured beech in comparison with a gransfors, rinaldi and urnieta of similar size and handle length. This outperformed all of them when handling really cured wood in crosscuts and splitting. Didn‘t stick but cut deep and threw good chips. It really excells at bushcraft type work where you carry your axe into the woods for longer hikes to fell, limb, buck and split dead standing wood. Perhaps building some shelter or tentpegs and such. Its name is very fitting and it has quickly become my new favorite.
