Great little hatchet for my son. It’s nice quality for the price.
All I can say is wow. I thought my knives were sharp they would cut paper with no hesitations but when I used this tester ,nope they were not sharp enough had to change how I was sharpening them and finishing them to get the sharpness I actually wanted. One of the best products I have bought for my business.

Well made knife/axe/machete. Whatever you call it, it’s well made and nicely balanced. But best of all is the fast shipping and well packaged. This is one site I’ll be back to.
I have combined Tormek jigs with belt sanders for a more accurate way to sharpen
knives. using the horizontal base and Tormek knife jigs for a much faster system.
I was looking for a small business who sold Silky Saws and stumbled across this great little company “Axeman”, I purchased 3 different Silky Saws from them and though I haven’t actually had the pleasure of using these fine saws yet, I can certainly say I was very impressed with the quality customer service at Axeman! 😊
Recently picked up the Silky Nata 240 Outback Edition to be a one tool replacement for the Fiskars hatchet & the Ka-bar Jarosz Choppa in my packable trail maintenance kit (which also includes a Silky Bigboy saw).
Haven't had much chance to use it outside of delimbing a large fir that fell across a local trail but my impression is that it feels & swings like a cross between a European/Western-style hatchet & a big knife/short machete. In my hands, it chops almost (but not quite) as well as a European-style hatchet because of the blade's negative angle relative to the handle and its forward-heavy balance, and it clears brush just as well as a big knife/short machete because of its blade length (though its greater mass means I can't swing it for as long before fatigue sets in). So it's sort of a "jack of all trades, master of none" in the way all multitools are.
That said, I think some of that impression may be from my lack of experience in the use of a traditional Japanese hatchet like the Nata, and I am sure that it will become an effective single tool replacement for a European/Western hatchet and a big knife/short machete for my purposes as I become more familiar with its characteristics.
Very efficient and rapid, it' s a must have for every outdoors man/woman. The sheath is a bit too large considering the size of the blade but very well made with a lot of place to slide strap for holding on a pack or other.
Bye!
I initially contacted Axeman.ca because I was looking for a threaded tool support for my King Industrial wet/dry sharpener. I was hoping the Tormek support would fit so I asked what the distance between the two uprights was and received a prompt response from Axeman.ca. That didn’t work out for me as the distances between the two units are different.
However, I was so impressed with the service that I decided to order a Tormek KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig and the Tormek SVM-00 Small Knife Holder from them. The order arrived promptly. I haven’t used spent much time using these tools yet but so far, all is well.
Thank you Axeman!
If you throw in an axe throwing league, this is the big axe for you! It came within 3 days after I ordered it, and I couldn’t be happier with it!
Amazing through the confections to the packaging and nice delivery we are very satisfied
This is an amazing little hatchet and it stays extremely sharp! It's super light, easy to swing and priced very, very well. I'm definitely going to buy a second just because I like it so much.
Awesome saw! Cut through 8 inch pine easily! Hope it stays sharp for a while!
I bought this for my fiancé, as I know he had been eyeing it. He loved it! It's sharp (no burs), well-balanced, and the sheath fits perfectly (it's snug enough to stay put but isn't difficult to remove). Added bonus is the anniversary information pamphlet that accompanied tge axe.
Great gift!
Well made hatchet. Excellent service. Shipped within an hour of completing the order.
I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend to throw as a big axe in his axe throwing league. He loves it! Says that it does all the work, he only has to put it there. A huge step up from his Yard Works big axe.
Cut a green cedar log about 10 inches in diameter in about 30 seconds. Put this one on your must have list for the post zombie apocalypse kit.
I was very impressed with the speed of delivery and the edge on the axe when it arrived. I am using the axe to split dry fir into smaller pieces to use in starting our wood furnace each morning. As I am recovering from a fractured collarbone, I cannot afford to swing very hard and this axe is pretty much effortless for what I am doing.
Very disappointed ! First log I cut and broked the blade. I'm a carpenter and fine woodworker and I know how to use a saw...
