Perfect little hatchet!
by Andrew -
Excellent perfectly weighted for a small camp hatchet, well forged and shaped head, and came perfectly sharpened. It is nicely polished, and the handle is nicely finished with excellently oriented grain.

<br>At this price, it is an excellent hatchet, and the German quality rivals the Swedes.
