"I had mine for a few years now and it is very handy."
"I like to go camping and "survive" off the land. I brought this ax along with me and used only this to split enough firewood for a fire to burn 24/7 for a week. As I said in the header,I must have split a whole tree with this ax and it held up great and is ready for next year's trip. I had my doubts when I saw the ax but it blew my expectations out of the water, for the price especially. I could not ask for a better tool, thanks budk."
"Got two of these on a BoGo sale. They look good, but the handle is attached to the blade with what seems to be hot glue, and the metal head separates from the handle after a short amount of use. NOT a tool you want in a bug-out bag or any situation where a modicum of reliability is an issue. That said, you get what you pay for, and if you're expecting a quality item marketed as a "zombie apocalypse" tool - well ... there ya go."
"BudK sent this complimentary hand ax. As an avid kayaker...this is a sturdy practical piece. A good all round cutting tool. I don't work for "THEM" either, but I would like to know what others received to complain about....it's just a good ax. It doesn't sharpen itself, go on a diet to loose weight,or clear a campsite by itself (no "AUTO" switch). Again...it's just a good ax."
"i purchased 2 of these hatchets and , what a great buy . good medium weight steel head , takes and holds an edge . fiberglass handle is strong and light . i drilled a hole in each for a lanyard i made from some camo 550 . i took both out back and laid into some soft maple fire wood (you do not want to be on the business end of these sharp S.O.B's) they hacked through it like paper machet . yet another great deal from budk . if and when the zombies come ,the safest place is behind me , cause i'm going to be a frigin quisnart ...."
"This in my mind is an outstanding hatchet . Overall. However, its true the blade is dull and does come sheath less. But for only 14 bucks who could complain and the hatchet could always be sharpen I mean u have to do it sometime right. So this was so worth the buy, I personally bought two .. I recommend yes if your wondering on purchasing this hatchet take my word for it."
"Used it on my last 2 night camping trip. Does everything you want it to. You will want some sort of sheath or at least a cardboard cover, it is sharp, and takes and holds an edge real well. Really solid item."
"We are very happy with our hatchet. Since we are getting older and don't have the strength we used to have we needed something a little lighter. This tool works perfect for the jobs we needed it to do. I'd recommend it to anyone for the lighter jobs in the country."
"have not had a chance to use the hatchets i bought. i sharpened them as they needed it, and they seem to be made well. if they stand up to heavy use they are a tremendous deal. i put one in each car and saved one for use around the house and shop. if the heads do not come loose and the handles hole up they are well worth the cost. big enough for chopping and the other side is wide enough for hammering stakes or what ever. recommended buy, but realize i have not used them yet. if the handle holds up and the steel is not so brittle it cracks or chips you will get your monies worth."
"Yes, you will have to sharpen the blade. No big deal. It is heavier then I was expecting. Think it will be ok for spliting wood."
