It is very sharp. It has a lot of points where you can easily cut yourself, so you need to be careful when using it. Chopping down trees is out of the question, but for branches or even defense against an aggressive squirrel, it is perfect. If needed, you could use it to cut thicker things.
A lightweight and handy axe with full tang construction, manufactured by Mil-Tec. Thanks to its small size and low-profile design, it will easily fit into any backpack, while clipped to a vest or belt it will not take up much space.
The hatchet is made entirely of 3CR13MoV stainless steel, which has been coated with a black coating to protect it from external factors. The guarantee of a secure grip is provided by a handle braided with paracord rope.
The set includes a nylon blade sheath with a snap closure.

Well made, but it’s not suitable for cutting down trees or even larger branches – at most, thin, small sticks. Not worth its price, unless someone really needs a durable tool for small twigs that could be broken by hand.
-
A nice and sharp hatchet, so you should be careful. The paracord may be interesting, but it can easily be replaced with, for example, a handmade wooden handle. There are many options. It's a durable tool, though it's more suited to cutting branches and trimming sticks rather than chopping down trees. It's light, strong, and durable.
-
Very nice hatchet. I keep it in my car in case of off-road trips. The only downside is the string handle—if you work without gloves, your hands may hurt. On the plus side, it is easy to transport and lightweight.
-
I bought the hatchet thinking it would be a supplement to a saw, not the main tool for camping. It works great for simple woodwork. For me, its advantage is its low weight and convenient blade cover, making it perfect for motorcycle trips where every gram of luggage matters. The build is solid, the paracord grip is quite comfortable (though it could be better). Sharp and handy—in general, I am satisfied with the purchase.

A well-made hatchet, worth buying if you plan to use it outdoors. Made from durable and solid material, it has good construction, and the precise handle ensures comfort during use. It's very helpful while camping. The price is reasonable, so I definitely recommend it—it delivers everything the manufacturer promises.
-
Light, handy, sharp, and aesthetically pleasing—these are its main advantages. Cutting thicker branches is rather out of the question unless you devote all day to it. It's good to have such a hatchet in the car just in case you need to trim something.
-
A solid, cheap, and durable hatchet. It's rather difficult to chop down a tree with it, though with enough determination, maybe it would work. It's more suitable for cutting branches or bark because it's light. The paracord handle will come in handy in emergency situations, but holding the hatchet by this string is uncomfortable. After removing the paracord, you can come up with your own version of a handle.
-
Fully meets my expectations, good quality for a small price, extra points for the great appearance :) If someone can and wants to, I recommend replacing the not very comfortable paracord handle with something else (I used oiled oak wood).
-
Very nice little axe, although not perfect. On the plus side, it’s light, small, and handy. Now it’s sharp, but it’s good that it has a sheath, because the protruding sharp elements can be dangerous.
-
Good hatchet, currently very sharp. You have to be careful even when taking it out of the case because it has a lot of sharp edges. It's light, so it won't get in the way when carrying it. The price matches the quality.
-
I bought it because of its original look and lightweight, which makes it easy to attach the hatchet to a backpack. As a basic tool, it works great. Very good quality workmanship.
-
Light and durable. I recommend it because it seems practically indestructible.
-
Nice gadget. It's light and flat, so it doesn't take up much space.
