Strong, solidly made and durable construction. It's heavy for its size, but thanks to that, when you swing, it goes deeper into wood or trees. You need to sharpen it because it comes dull. It also has a compartment with paracord. You can put something small in there, like a few matches with a striker. It can serve as a hammer. It's small, but it's something.
Compact hatchet from the Bushcraft line featuring a robust and ergonomic build. Crafted with a contoured handle for superior grip, balanced weight distribution, and a blade with fullers made from premium stainless steel finished with an anti-corrosion coating to deliver deeper cuts with minimal exertion.
The blade’s opposite side offers a flat surface, enabling use as a hammer. Enhanced grip is provided by an overmolded fiberglass type overmold, ensuring secure handling, even when wearing gloves. The handle also includes a waterproof compartment, ideal for storing small survival items such as a cord, lighter, flint, and more.
The package comes with a protective sheath equipped with a mounting system for convenient attachment to a belt or outdoor gear.

Very nice equipment. It's a pity it comes very dull. Heavy, solid, and durable. It fits very, even extremely, well in the hand. Well profiled. And its looks.

The first impression is that the hatchet is heavy, especially compared to the Fiskars X7 equivalent – the difference in weight is significant. On the plus side, you can use the hatchet as a hammer (which Fiskars forbids). On the downside, unfortunately, there is no lighter included in the set, which should be in the handle, and a standard one doesn’t fit.

At first, I was a bit disappointed because it's quite dull when new. After sharpening, it works great for me. Its light weight may not be an advantage when carrying it in a backpack to the forest, but during chopping, that's a big plus. Overall, it's a very nice hatchet with a great look, but I probably wouldn't spend that much money on it a second time. A well-sharpened small axe for 70zl would do the same job.

Very nice, fits well in the hand. It's not light, but it's also not a toy hatchet. It's just a shame that it arrives dull. You need to sharpen it yourself. You can see that the fit and finish are top notch. Slightly curved, which helps while chopping. The coating is neither plastic nor rubber, more like two in one. Additionally, the handle is kind of grooved, which should be enough to prevent it from slipping while chopping. If you also wear gloves, it should stick like glued.

Fantastic! Very solid construction. It is a compromise between being small, compact, and fitting everywhere, or the same but bigger - and then there’s theoretically a problem with where to store it. Anyway, I have this gem which is made extremely solidly. You can attach it to your belt. You can use it to cut logs. There’s just one small 'but' - it’s smaller than its bigger brother, so you need more strength to chop something. And as we know, with a bigger tool, one swing is enough and the log splits in half. Still, I recommend it. Additionally, it has a nice stash compartment at the bottom. Besides that, it sits great in the hand and is well-profiled. A big plus is also its looks, although we know you don’t buy a hatchet just to look at it.
