I have one that looks somewhat like this. It was ok for the small
rushed project I bought it for. I wouldn't get it for long term use.
Mine is too thin - not even a quarter inch. I wish the socket were
stronger; it gives me a feel as if it would twist under demanding use.
And the real annoyance is that the blade is sharpened with a single
bevel. I have enough trouble steering a split without the froe taking
the wheel from me!
