Chopped it up really well too. Handle holds just like a hammer axe and strike head makes this easy to use. I'm happy ☺️

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply excellent.

Exactly what I was looking for. The head is a bit smaller than expected. I really like the feel. It stays sharp even after abuse. Well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, lightweight hatchet - perfect for camping, trail work, or wood-splitting finisher.

This hatchet comes with both a silicone tip guard and a leather snap-closure holster, though both aren't used at the same time. It's lightweight, well-constructed and sharp! I used it to free a couple of hunting arrows from wood chunks they'd been embedded into, and it performed that task easily, even though the wood chunks were older, and substantially harder than fresh green wood might be.The grip is great - not something that will slip out of your hand or glove easily. The holster is a very snug fit, and while it's easy to remove the hatchet from the holster (one snap, one Velcro) --- in brand-new condition it was a bit tougher to get the hatchet back into the holster and close the snap around it than I anticipated. It might get easier over time as the holster stretches out a little, but I also appreciate the snug fit, so maybe it's just me!!I used it a couple times to finish up some split wood pieces that were dangling by a few wood strands, and it easily cut through those - plus the narrow construction lets it get in between almost-split wood chunks quite easily. I meant to try splitting some kindling (resting a wood piece on its sharp edge, then striking the other end of the wood piece with a hammer) but didn't do that before writing this up....A nice addition overall to my tool roster, and far, far better than the retail-name hatchet I've carried in my motorhome for multiple years, so it'll be on the road with me next time I'm mobile!

I am very satisfied with the quality of this product. Personally I would have gone with a different product name, but I guess they can't all be zingers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Piece

Did not compare to other products but this is just about what I wanted. The handle will require work gloves unless for longer tasks if you are needing the shock absorption.

5.0 out of 5 stars What we were looking for.

Just what we were looking for, found and purchased, thank you for a great product!!

3.0 out of 5 stars ok, not great

I wish I'd paid 20 more and bought an estwing. The grind was very poor, with the cutting off center. Doesn't feel or perform nearly as well as my old estwing

Great hatc

Dull from start

T. · March 5, 2025

Built strong. Comes dull so expect to spend time sharpening before using

Arrived as expected

D.H. · November 4, 2024

Right out of the box the hatchet was ready to go. No additional sharpening needed.

Exactly as described. Great for light use.

Great to throw in your truck for occasional use. Seems solid and was easy to hold for light chopping. Was a bit sharp out of the box but I plan to sharpen it up a bit more. Only used a couple of times so I can’t comment on edge retention.

Pretty solid

A. · September 26, 2024

Got it for camping, seems pretty solid for the most part but does feel a little cheap. Not a fan of the holster, but it split wood good enough for the camp fire.
