Quality handle and sharp blade. Very happy with my purchase of this ax, comes with full lifetime warranty and claims to be virtually unbreakable. Extremely satisfied so far.

Be careful because it's sharp! Easy to use.

It was easy to use and not too bulky. It didn't take up much space in my garage.

Bad handle

It was good first few time today my handle just broke off

Dull blade.

Overall it is a nice design. But ... it is dull as a rock. Was it designed by lawyers? Until I sharpen it, the blade renders it almost useless as a hatchet.

Awesome Hatchet

I bought this hatchet 3 years ago and use it to split wood. I've beaten the crud out of it with an 8lb sledge and it hasn't deformed or chipped whatsoever. I probably use it for much more than it was designed for and it has held up well. I keep it sharp and it holds an edge for a long time. Very impressed with this thing.

Functional/nice weight/sharp durable edge with cvr

Now own two. Has a nice weight, sharp, holds an edge well, great handle that fits the palm comfortably. Handle has a curl at the bottom end to prevent the hatchet from slipping from the hand on the down-stroke while ensuring a good grip. Great safety feature that it comes with a head/blade storage cover for when not in use.

Great little hand axe

Somewhat disappointed

I bought this hatchet based upon my experience with a Fiskars splitting axe that I purchased about 10 years ago. That axe has split a LOT of firewood and the blade has only needed to touched up with a few times. But this hatchet appears to use an entirely different steel. So far, I've only used it a couple of times in addition to a saw to limb trees before bucking and splitting. I was really disappointed to see the edge badly worn and chipped after working only on soft pine. Still a better mad...

I love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually loved this more than I thought I would. First I loved how light weight and compact it is. It’s perfect for camping, keeping in a vehicle and day to day tasks around the house. The edge retention is pretty solid, and the plastic sheath is sturdy and practical. As for the feel of the X7, the rubberized handle and overall handle retention is better than most hatchets I've used. The rubberized handle also reduces shock while adding over...

Very nice, and seems durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have not had the chance to use this yet,but I gave it to my husband. I was surprised that Fiskars makes tools. It does seem very durable,and like it would perform well and is very versatile. I like the safety feature and the handle is very comfortable.

BEST HATCHET ON THE MARKET

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Influenster for free in exchange for my honest opinion! I have went through countless hatchets! Let me tell you, this beauty is versatile for most wood! It’s PERFECTLY balanced and is beyond lightweight! The wedge is sharp and the entire hatchet is STURDY as can be! I looked up the price and to be honest it’s beyond worth the value I would honestly pay even more for this hatchet! It’s very safe in a sense of the at ...

Super sharp

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a lightweight hatchet that gets the job done. It feels great in the hand and is super sharp. It made quick work of a couple of limbs that were hanging down from our tree. It did come with a plastic sheath, but I purchased a different one for it as pictured. Can't wait to try this out on some hiking trails if we need to as it fits perfectly in our hiking packs.

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hatchet is SUPER sharp. I like the cover it has on it. It doesn't come off super easily. The handle is easy to grip. It seems to be working fine for me.
