Coleman Camp Axe Rugged Outdoor Hatchet Dual-Use Splitting Wood and Hammering Stakes Durable Steel Head and Handle with Non-Slip Grip Ideal for Camping Survival Landscaping

I got this for camping. As an axe/hatchet, it's great. Solid. Well-weighed. But I'll be honest with you: for cutting wood down to smaller chunks for a fire, get a little hand saw. It works 1000% better, faster, and easier. But if you need a small hatchet, this thing is perfect. I just don't know what to do with it.

Living along the coast of a hurricane prone state can provide you with some of the most amazing views, incredible seafood, meanest mosquitoes, and scariest hurricanes. If you ever research Hurricane Katrina and the areas that flooded, some of the people who were in their homes when it flooded moved to their attics and got trapped in the flood waters. The people who had an axe chopped their way through the roof to create a hole to get on top of their roof to wait to be rescued. That is why we keep an axe by our attic door. This axe is the perfect size for anyone to use. I have very small hands for an adult and I was able to grip the handle without any difficulty. The axe is also weighted correctly for easy use. If you ever used an axe or any other tool that is too heavy at the top, you will understand what I mean by weighted correctly. The blade of this axe is definitely sharp enough to do the job efficiently and effectively. Hopefully, we never really have to use this axe for anything other than chopping firewood for our firepit, but we are thankful to have a tool ready just in case we ever get more water than we expect in our neighborhood.

not the biggest fan of handle angle but it does its thing really well. not the first one Ive had in my life, probably wont be the last.

Nobody should believe this is winning any prizes for best axe, but its hefty, has good hammer-friendly surface, and its really just a solid hunk of carbon steel. I don't think a hatchet like this should be super sharp, but you'll definitely need to spend a little time on the edge. Solid 4-star product (could argue 5-star at this price point, but I won't).

More than expected. Excellent weight, strong,sharp hatchet.

First off, the edge is terrible from the factory. I still want to give it 5 stars because of the overall build quality. I really only wanted this to hammer in wedges or do any other small things to help when I cut trees. I immediately sharpened it when I got it with products I got right here from amazon and now it takes shucks out of trees. The handle is solid along with the shank leading to the head. It's light but heavy enough to really beat on stuff with.

Ten bucks doesn't buy you much these days. It's a pointlessly dull axe that feels bad in the hand. Spend a little more on a better quality item, or better yet, find a vintage axe and sharpen it.

Tough,small axe.
