The MFH - Fox Outdoor Viking axe sits securely and comfortably in the hand, and at the same time it looks really very good for its price. It performs excellently in bushcraft and during trips. It arrived from the manufacturer already properly sharpened. It simply looks much more stylish and appropriate than, for example, a Fiskars with an orange plastic handle, even if that one may be more practical to use.

MFH Fox Outdoor Viking hatchet. Superb quality of workmanship and materials. Strong and durable. Excellent for trips out of town. A great advantage is its traditional and atmospheric look.
-
It looks aesthetically pleasing, fits well in the hand, and works well during bushcraft and transport. However, if you need to chop a lot of wood, a longer and heavier option would be better – I ended up buying another one of this model. The downside was that the head was not securely attached, and I had to fix it using different wedges and resin – now it’s fine. Sharpening is not a problem.
-
The hatchet is very nicely and aesthetically made, the only thing that's a bit of an eyesore is the plastic cord. There's a stylish leather sheath included, so the cord should also be leather... but that's minor. In my opinion, the hatchet has a bigger flaw: the grind angle is too large, which is good for splitting, but the hatchet is too small and uncomfortable for this purpose. Personally, I had no problem regrinding it. Now it bites very well and deeply into the wood, and splitting smaller pieces is no longer a problem.
-
Total failure. The hatchet arrived completely dull. The blade was ground at such an angle that it would be difficult to get any sharpness using hand tools without spending several free days filing. The handle attachment was also poorly done. After a few uses, the head began to wobble. I do not recommend it.
-
The hatchet matches the description, it is aesthetically pleasing and properly balanced, I recommend buying it. Maybe a display would be useful, and the only minor drawback is comfortable holding in the hand.

The product matches the description. Very nice, great as a gift, especially if someone gives axes as gifts :) I will replace the original "shoelace" with a decent piece of paracord. It feels good in the hand. I haven't tested it on wood yet, but you can tell it needs some sharpening.
