WatchFire 10” Black Camping/Survival Axe-Head Hatchet with Nylon Sheath (210921)

Great little low profile no frills camping hatchet. Feels good in the hand and has held up well over the years.

Awesome small ax. Handle is great. Weight is heavy and chopped my real yard 1/4"- 3/8" thick branches from weed that was growing into a tree. All the branches took one chop. I couldn't believe how well it chopped it down. I was done in 15 min. I normally use an electrical cutter. This was so much easier. I have no doubt this will work on light branches in the field. If anything, it works great for landscape maintenance and that along makes this tool worthy of purchase! Very sharp from manufacturer but I sharpened it even more after I wasfi iahed. Can't wait to see what else it does!!

I bought this axe for light usage around a campfire. I like its design and light weight. Its best use is making kindling, shaving flat surfaces to prepare for carving and meat cutting. It comes sharp from the factory, but I have honed it to a finer edge. It holds its edge surprisingly well, and I have found it quite versatile within a range of uses.

I just spent a week camping in the hills of North west Arkansas, and this was a handy little tool. I used it to split some fair sized short pieces of fire wood. Just use it like wedge, and hit the top of the hatchet with a piece of wood or rock.and it will work ok. I cut a 6 ft pole to use as a walking stick, and I cut the small limbs and peeled the bark off and I still have not touched up the edge yet. This would work well for a lot of things if you had to spend some time away in hills or desert. Maybe I just got one made on a Monday.

Good strong well built item. Compact and very sharp. Good for BOB bag. Very light weight. Great hatchet for trimming or small trees. Not good for larger pieces of wood because of being so light but that's the trade off such a good compact hatchet.

This hatchet is super small and lightweight, so be warned. If you don't want to lug around a heavy hatchet while backpacking, this is a huge plus. However, don't expect to be splitting big oak logs with this thing. It will split kindling and chop small branches, and that's about it. If that's what you are looking for, this works great. It is actually made pretty well for what it is. Makes a good gift for a Boy Scout, by the way. The sheath fell apart on the first day of use due to terrible design. The hatchet blade rests against the threads that hold the two halves together, cutting them instantly. So toss the sheath, and keep the hatchet for light work.

This Hatchet is well worth the price, if its out of stock its worth waiting for! Its great for backpacking, camping, etc. Its extremely light at 13 ounces and razor sharp. You might think that being so light it wouldn't work very well but in fact it makes short work of most tasks. The blade on this is so sharp you will actually cut your sheath if your not careful. I've seen some comments about it dulling quickly but I have not found this to be the case. After using it several times it still has a very nice edge. This is the ONLY hatchet you will ever need!

Not too heavy for ultra-lite camping, not too lite to make kindling or lite chopping. Ya, I wouldn't try making a log cabin with it, but it came with a nice edge to it (no sharpening) and the compact size (short handle) makes it easy to pack. My hands are average size, I suppose, and fits well in my hand and is made of hard rubber, although I don't know if I would go so far as to say it's "non-slip". All-in-all, pleasantly surprised for something coming from China!

very high quality and so sharp useful for multi uses

صغير الحجم نسبياً لكن جودته ممتازه صلب وحاد جدا 👍🏻 سهل الحمل والتخزين في حقيبة الرحلات

This hatchet will be very useful in the bush... it will no doubt take a beating and the business edge is long and gradual and can stand in for a knife blade anyday. It's also very sharp, no need to regrind or even hone, though it could use with a micro-bevel if it will see heavy, prolonged use. Ergonomics is perfect for decent swing weight, handle is very grippy and won't fly out of your hand easily, even in heavy use. The weight is decently low as well, for a hatchet of this size. This is one area where proper weight to use ratio is important. Not enough and it's simply a useless hatchet. Too much and your back will complain. This tool is a pretty good balance. If even more weight is needed, there is a largish hole (approx .5 inch or a bit over a centimeter) in the back of the blade that you could lash a rock or a heavy something to it as well, to increase momentum weight. The sheath is very nice looking, but has been designed poorly in that the threads of it are directly exposed to the very sharp blade. It' will fail within the first day. Too bad, as the sheath is very well made otherwise, and is a higher quality material than expected. I shoved some tough duct tape layers into it for now, But I think it may have to be riveted and lined with something to prevent it from falling apart. All in all though, I rate this 4.5 stars, with the half star loss due to the thread thing. A purchase well made if you need one in your backpack.

Very good and compact axe, sharp, light weight, perfect for hiking, camping and outdoor in general

For its price point, it performs well. It's small (really just one-handed) and lightweight, so can easily be integrated into martial arts, if that's your thing. Cuts cords, ropes, and twigs just fine, but I doubt it has the necessary heft and sturdiness to be chopping wood.
