   This is a great size, sharp right out of the box, and the sheath is very sturdy and well made. The hatchet feels very solid so far and the grip feels great in the hand. I haven’t really used the nail puller for anything other than grabbing tent stakes to pull out of the ground but I don’t see why it won’t work with some leverage under the handle. The back side of the head serves great for hammering tent stakes in or anything you’d need a hammer for while out camping / backpacking. Light enough that I plan on taking it with me on my motorcycle camping trips, but heavy duty enough that I’d trust it for anything I need it for. Very impressed so far!

   Still have to go out there and use it, but the weight/balance is amazing and the blade s sharp as wilde. The sheath on this one is perfect, one of the reasons I dropped the Gerber (on top of it being too small).

   I actually waited a few weeks to review this as I wanted to get a good sample size to see how it performed and held up. I will drop my thoughts in sections below so you can quickly jump to what you want to see. For some background – We are building a homestead and I do a lot of river fishing and overall outdoor activities where this can be handy to have close. I did not get this hatchet for free and I am not compensated for this review.First of all, it irritates me when people drop a review without using the tool. “It just arrived! 5 stars for packaging! Can’t wait to try it!” Then why did you give it 5 stars without ACTUALLY using it. I can’t be the only one that feels this way. OK, rant over.Purchase: I bought this because I couldn’t find the Gerber Hatchet near me. It looks similar to this and I imagine this one was sort of a copy cat remake. Needing it to finish some homesteading projects we were starting/completing, I went ahead and got this off of Tomahawk Tactical Supply Find. The price point was close to the gerber one and after reading some qualified reviews (as I would put it) I felt like even if it fell short, I could still purpose it for something. It arrived well packaged in a box with a finishing cloth inside. The cloth is used to wipe down the blade after cleaning.Performance: I used this tool for everything it is designed for. Pulling nails, tacking signs, driving small nails, cutting saplings, shaving wood for a fire, splitting tinder, cutting cattle rope (fixing it), trimming cut wood, and finally clearing.The tool is well built. This surprised me as from Tomahawk Tactical Supply Find I expected a Harbor Freight type of hatchet. Not so. The steel is heavy and robust. As stated in other comments, the heavier it is the better it is for what I use it for. It is not an ax, but the weight helps you bring home the blade with minimal energy making it efficient to use. The handle is long and has more metal bolted in for a grip. As you see with mine, I wrapped it in paracord. You will want to do this or something like it as the longer you use it, the more it hurts your hands gripping. I also paracorded the spine near the head. This was because while shaving wood, it gives me a soft piece to keep a firm grip. I want to note that it still fits in the sheath after this.The Head is the only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5. The blade curves back another 45 degrees at the top. I don’t see the reason for this. I would have rather seen a fully curved blade with a bottle opener or gut hook at the top. Missed an opportunity there as this would’ve made it more functional. The large hole used to help you shave kindling is great, but if you could’ve made it a dual purpose hole for a 1/2″ or 5/8″ socket grip, that would’ve made it 6 freaking stars. Overall though, good for what it does, but has the potential to be great.Use: The blade has a solid polish and still cut paper after using it for 3 weeks. I even saw my sister beating it up as she tried to take down a larger-than-should tree with the hatchet. The blade had no curves and was still sharp. While after some rough use it was not as sharp as out of the box, a quick sharpening fixed this. I would have to do this with any other blade so this didn’t bother me. The hammer end is a bolt on piece that hasn’t moved since I have worked the tool. It is secured in place well and if it does move, some loctite will hold it in.The sheath is kidex with a MOLLE and belt piece on the back. I secured this to the outside of an assault pack with MOLLE and just carried it around the other times. So far the sheath has held up nicely.Overall I would recommend this. So much in fact I am about to buy the small one without the pry tool on the end to keep in the truck. I hope this helps you make a better informed decision on adding this to your tool kit. I haven’t been disappointed.Chris
