Hatchet H 008 SV (0.8 kg, 17.5 inch Shaft)

Bought my partner the hatchet for his birthday and he absolutely loves it, wouldn’t put it down the first day he got it. Great quality, quick shipping and would definitely buy from here again.

Great quality and quick shipping

I love this thing , it's nice to look at ,arrived razor sharp rigth out of the box ,it's well balanced and the perfect size for all around camp chores .Could not ask for more .

High quality craftmanship with a good palm swell. The only complaint I have is the grind on the edge; it could have been sharpened and profiled better.

Axe head looks nothing like the picture…

First glance, I noticed the factory edge was terrible… I mean TERRIBLE. Worst I’ve ever seen. Very course grit, like 150 grit finish, was not de-burred, and a very VERY inconsistent bevel.

I run a sharpening service, so I tuned it up. It’s now hair shaving sharp, with a somewhat uniform bevel (I’m not a magician). The steel sharpened well, so I’m not concerned about the heat treat. The primary bevel was also inconsistently ground, and the handle had some dings, which I’ve since fixed with a rasp and sandpaper.

If the axe came to me in the condition that it is now, I’d give it an 8/10 for the price. In the condition it actually arrived in, I’ll give it a 2.5/10

Would I recommend it? Probably not.
Maybe I just got a bad egg? Regardless, it made it past quality control, and that’s frightening.
