Hatchets are used for hand cutting firewood, driving in anchors and tent pegs, and removing branches. They are widely used in areas such as tourism, survival, scouting, and the military.
Which survival hatchet should you choose?
If you decide to buy a survival hatchet, pay attention to a few key aspects:
- Head material and quality - it is worth paying attention to the material from which the head of the hatchet is made. The most commonly used option is stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion.
- Handle material - the material from which the handle of a military hatchet is made is important. For example, hickory wood handles are recommended.
- Weight of the axe – if you plan to take a tactical axe on a long hiking trip, pay special attention to its weight so that it is not too heavy.
What is a carpenter's axe and a battle axe?
A carpenter's axe is a tool designed for precise woodworking. It is mainly used for making small cuts, removing excess material and smoothing surfaces, especially when working on wood edges. Modern battle axes, on the other hand, are training models that are used for combat, disarming or demonstration exercises.
