Great hatchet for the price. Well balanced hatchet that serves my needs well. I use it for knocking small limbs off of firewood and hammering wedges in while using a chainsaw to fell or cut up trees. I did as another reviewer did, sand off the varnish (or lacquer) on the handle, and soak it with Fiebing’s neatsfoot oil. Much better grip and easier on my aging hands. Stays sharp, and when the time comes, easy to touch up the cutting edge with a Arkansas stone.
Before and After After receiving this I decided to do as one of the other reviewers said and sand off the varnish on the handle with 100 grit sand paper. I then rubbed Neatsfoot oil on it over the course of about three days. I probably put on about 20-30 coats, so it takes some patience. The results where totally worth it though. I’ll add some before and after pictures but the real difference is in how it feels. The handle isn’t nearly as slick and feels much more comfortable in my hand.
This is the real deal! I don’t write many reviews but this little gem deserves one. Proudly made in the USA since 1923, this is the same fine tool your granddad bought, with the same high quality forging and rugged leather grip. Properly used and cared for it will stand up to several lifetimes of hard use. I recently bought a spare from Amazon and this review is based on that item.
