Nicely weighted

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great lightweight hatchet. The blade is really sharp. My husband will enjoy using this for chopping up limbs when we bring down more trees on our property.

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We LOVE this hatchet. Literally, have used it several times already upon receiving it. I keep snagging it from my husband to use outside around the house. It is light weight enough for me to hold and use, and sharp enough to handle stronger needs. I will be purchasing more for my sons. Truly….a great tool!

Worth the investment

Would Recommend

This was purchased as my son’s first hatchet. It cuts well, and held its edge well. I better grip on the handle would make this a five star solution for his needs and mine. Yes, I’ve already borrowed his hatchet when the job called for more than a machete, but I didn’t want to break out an axe.
