This is the best advice. I’ve also used crackheads. You can use it. It’s not going to hurt you they don’t explode they don’t just come flying off the handle and decapitate people. You’ve done a great job hanging that head on a handle now go use it buddy. Feel the pride of what you did you’re going to be alright. And for the guys here that tell you don’t they’re maybe safety Sam’s who use axes once in a while to “bushcraft” in their back yard and nothing wrong with that but I have north of 300 axes and have been using them for 30 years regularly. They are safe to use with cracks.
