Got this hatchet to get at some awkward branches. I couldn't get to with my my saw.Seems pretty well made, comes semi sharp and holds it's edge pretty well.Can be made sharper if you know what you are doing. Drop forged. American hickory handle..Did what I needed.I put this short review up, because there are more than one version of this axe/hatchet. This is for the 1.5 lb version.Someone has already put the measurements up for the 2.5lb version.Measurements are in the video. Just pause to have a closer look if you need to..Hope it gives you a smile and helps you make up your mind if this is the one you want.Here are the lyrics if you want to singalong... ;-)Well you know I had this problem out in my backyardI didn't have a tool that would do the job I tried everyone I hadWell some they were just too big and some were just too smalland some they just aint good enough to do anything at all.So I had me a look on Bolo and I saw this little axeI said brother you could help me do the job so let me give you the facts.It turned up in a couple of days and when I held it in my handThat's when I could see the truth and I could understand.Well maybe you aint the biggest. Maybe you aint the best.But your well made and you're good enough and cheaper than the rest.So I went out to the problem that had troubled me for days.I introduced it to my friend...Now trouble's gone away.Well now you heard my story I'll take no more of your time.If your thinking of buying a tool like this I hope I helped youmake up your mind.It's good enough I think you'll see.If you're gonna use it occasionally..Aha ... Ooh Hoo Aaa Ha Mmmmm...

Love this axe. Not sharp at all but nice weight and quality handle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for the price and did the job

As many commentators have said, this axe isn't particularly sharp as received, and so it's somewhat mis-described in the product details, but so what; can any axe keep a knife-edge given the way in which axes are used. Surely even a sharp knife would dull immediately upon being pounded into a piece of wood rather than sliced across it.At any rate, this axe is made from mild steel and so would take an edge from a grind-stone if necessary.Overall this is a well-made product from a well-regarded company and so I recommend it.

Good

5.0 out of 5 stars For light use - no problems

R.W. · 3 October 2023

I've used this for general wood splitting/cutting and other light garden work. The head is still completely sturdy after a year of being used, and stored indoors. I can't speak to heavy use or axe throwing, which was the original intention behind this purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Suitable weight and size. Hardwearing parts.

A manageable small axe, although it could be shaped in a way for more ease of handling, with all the ergonomically shaped products available.VERY sharp and strong, hardwearing head with appropriate weight.Only reason to scold the manufacturer is the blade protector is inadequate: a shallow piece of malleable rubber that fits over the blade, where you are possible to cut yourself if not very careful. Needs to be a larger covering that keeps your fingers well away from the blade.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good axe but blunt.

The axe is well made and a good weight.It's main failing and why it scored a 3, is because the blade was VERY blunt.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER SHARP

Purchased this for splitting logs for log burner. I can't fault this at all. It's beautifully balanced and makes quick work of hardwood. Definitely worth the money.

Razoável pelo preço.

Great Axe!

I received this little gem and put it to work right away. I will say that I have a little handheld sharpener that I picked up on Bolo and stroked it a few times with that Creative Sales Company 41000 Lawn Mower & Garden Tool Sharpener I didn't notice much, a little clear plastic substance came off the axe. I suppose I could get a little more aggressive in sharpening the unit because what company is going to send you a axe that you could cut your finger on in this age of sue-happy consumers? Anyway, I bought this specifically because I am getting rid of a very large yucca plant that was planted by someone long ago in my front yard. It was encroaching on the sidewalk poking anyone that ventured down same with its razor sharp fronds. I cut it down as much as possible with my electric chainsaw bought (where else) here and needed something to get more material out. To kill it the best product I found was to use this Compare-N-Save Concentrate Grass and Weed Killer, 41-Percent Glyphosate, 1-Gallon full strength on the shoots that appeared. It's tough to kill a yucca, the superintendent of the grounds where I live laughed after I told him I was getting rid of it with "It will be BACK!".So the axe is a delight. Very well secured to the hardwood handle and appears to be a very high quality metal. It did a great job of slicing through all the various shoots that are still there ranging from 6" in diameter to less than an inch. I used it one and two handed and it was both big enough and small enough to use comfortably. I highly recommend this product.

Molto buona

ho avuto diverse asce ma questa è in assoluto la migliore per bilanciamento, qualità, robustezza, veramente un prodotto da consigliare

Echt scherpe bijl tegen een redelijke prijs

A.K. · 13 March 2019

Al meer dan 30 jaar gebruik ik tot tevredenheid producten van Spear & Jackson. De hier aangeboden bijl is al meer dan 10 jaar in mijn bezit en bij levering destijds vond ik de aanduiding "razorsharp" niet op zijn plaats. Sterker, "100% bot" zou een betere benaming zijn geweest. Na enig slijpwerk heb ik de bijl snel wel razorsharp gekregen. Onlangs een tweede exemplaar besteld. Kennelijk heeft Spear&Jackson zich kritieken aangetrokken want de nu geleverde bijl is inderdaad razorsharp! Van harte aan te bevelen.

Parfait
