Camping Hatchet, Full Tang Camping Axe Splitting Axe for Wood Splitting and Kindling, Forged Carbon Steel Heat Treated Hand Maul Tool, Shock Reduction Handle with Anti-Slip Grip

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!

Very well made hatchet for the cost. Included a nice hatchet cover/belt holster. I was able to split white oak right away. With a bit of honing to 600 grit with a diamond stone, it cut like butter. I’m buying one for my brother too.

A single solid piece of formed metal (full tang) is what I’ve been looking for. I’m tired of putting nails and screws in the handles of my axes. What a great tool for very very good price.

The media could not be loaded. The hatchet/mini axe itself is excellent quality, we are very happy with it! It's full tang so we don't have to worry about weak points or the head splitting from the handle. Rubber grin is perfect and covers a good amount of the handle for comfort. We tested it out on some tree limbs and it did an excellent job of chopping and splitting, perfect for it's size and hubby says it's plenty sharp!The downside: hubby was attaching it to his belt to see how that functionality is, when one of the grommets from the axe head case popped off. We tried to get it back on but it won't. The case is sewn so it's not like the head will slip out immediately, but I suppose the grommet is meant to be an insurance in case the seams split, so deciding whether to keep it as is or exchange it for one with all the grommets, we already like it so much don't even want to have to exchange but probably should. Other than the grommet issue, this is excellent quality and great value for the money!

Works well so far.

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.

Used this to cut small starter wood while camping and to cut small branches at the stub while cleaning the yard. Not the sharpest but with a slight to moderate swing it does the job.

This hatchet was too heavy for my liking. I returned it and found one I liked that felt more comfortable and balanced to handle.
