Fiskers Axe is stout and a perfect size for what I use it for. Kindling and trimming. The pliers are extremely tight and precise

Awesome Hatchet
Would RecommendI 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.
That’s some serious use—and it’s great to know your hatchet has stood up to it all while keeping a sharp edge. Thanks for putting it to the test and ...
