Tom,<br><br>Yeah, I have the Back Paxe. Silly name, neat little axe. No major problems with slippage. I did however, take some sandpaper to the handle to scuff it up a bit. That cured the minor problems nicely. The only problem I have with the axe is that I can't find it anymore. I suspect that it has been loaned to someone and I fogot who. Apparently the person I loaned it to forgot that it was borrowed as well...<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy
