Great Back-Pack hatchet

Reviews: Fiskars 7855 8-Inch Hatchet

This is a really compact, however very well engineered hatchet. With correct care the best, rust-resistant steel head and powerful composite handle ought to last a time period. The common criticism with this hatchet associate others of comparable size, is that it's too tiny to be used effectively to separate logs and cut firewood--and this can be true, however its a backpack hatchet, not an axe. It works nice for chopping fish or game, or for cutting kindling, and it doubles as a tent stake hammer. Have realistic expectations concerning the dimensions of the hatchet and its supposed use.

It comes with a pleasant plastic holder and carrying handle, however the carrying handle is to a fault long; some folks have criticized the length. I selected to cut-off the unneeded hand-hold a part of the highest of the carrying handle with a try of tin snips and ironed the perimeters with sandpaper. currently its a lot of compact and continues to be even as effective as a hatchet head defender.
