Hard to beat this one for the price.
I bought this primarily for making leather sheaths, but I found this to be a very solidly made hatchet. I have a few examples from the other high-end Swedish forges, and there is no question that this Husqvarna doesn’t quite have the same refinements as the options that are 2-3 times the price. That said, I think this is perhaps the best buy for the money without a doubt.I have done some research and it appears that this hatchet is made by the same forge that produces Wetterlings axes. It is unclear if the Swedish steel used in the Husqvarna is of the same quality, but my impression is that the steel is of very good quality. The hatchet does not arrive razor sharp like you might see on a higher priced brand, but it did come with a good working edge that can easily be cleaned up with minimal effort if you so desire. Without touching up the edge I easily split some oak firewood that had a knot in it. The hatchet made easy work of it and cut through the knot and curved grain with no problem. The edge also remained sharp. There is also enough weight to the head to make chopping easier, although some may find that the shape of the bit isn’t the best for finer work.This hatchet is fitted with a nicely profiled hickory handle that is attached to the head using a wooden wedge and round metal wedge. The addition of the metal wedge is probably overkill, but I think it’s a great detail, especially at this price point. The handle on my specimen came with a tight and straight grain and the orientation was only slightly on an angle to the head of the hatchet. The only gripe I have is that the handle is a bit thick where it meets the head, so holding the hatchet close to the blade for finer work is a little less comfortable than on some other hatchets I own.Based on the blade profile, the grind, the weight of the head, and the shape of the handle, you definitely get a hatchet that will handle chopping and splitting like a champ, which frankly is the primary function for a camp hatchet.The hatchet came with a simple leather blade cover that cannot be used as a belt sheath, but at least there is something to protect the edge from being damaged should it inadvertently strike your exposed flesh and bone.Summarizing all of this, I think it’s easy for me to say that this Husqvarna may very well be the best buy out there for a hatchet at this price point. If you aren’t keen to spend 2-3 times the price for one of the high end brands, I really think you will find this one to be an amazing value for a very well made hatchet.

Just opened the package! This axe is awesome!!!
First impressions of this axe are very impressive. This is the first high quality axe I have ever purchased. My previous experience was with cheep easily chipped and damaged camp axes. I read many reviews and decided this axe was the best value, for the price, to fulfill a well rounded assortment of bushcraft and survival needs. My order was delivered on time, was packaged completely wrapped in bubble wrap and totally immersed in air pocket plastic cushioning. It arrived in perfect condition. The finish of this axe totally exceeded my expectations, many have commented on deep grind marks that needed re-filing etc. Not sure if Husqvarna has stepped up their quality control in response to this or if I was just one of the lucky few, but mine is seemingly flawless. Very smooth even grind on both sides, not polished to a mirror sheen, more like a brushed stainless look. I checked the dimensions to see how accurate the description was. Mine is as follows: Head length 6 3/4”, Blade length 4 1/8”, Poll length 2 1/4”, Thickest part of the head 1”, Overall length 20 1/2”, Handle length 17 1/2”. I don’t have a scale sensitive enough to give me a reading for the weight but I find the weight to be comfortable when gripped regularly with two hands, as well as when choked up on the grip with one hand behind the blade. I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect the blade profile to be. Some pictures show a very strait blade, some show one with a slight convex. Mine is almost completely strait, with just the slightest amount of even curving towards the toe and heel. I plan on using it for light chopping/ splitting as well as a wide variety of carving and bushcraft uses. Right out of the box I tried the paper cutting test to see how sharp it is and it went through very easily. I would say its not razor sharp, but probably not far off. Its definitely way sharper than your average hardware store axe. I ordered a Lansky stone with Lansky honing oil just in case it needed further sharpening. The handle is hung very secure and the grain is in proper alignment with the blade. I am a leather worker and assumed I would be making my own sheath. It is very rare to see decent leather these days in mass produced products. The oil tanned leather used to make this sheath is exactly what I would have used had I made it myself! Its thick, durable, stayed easily on the blade, and even the rivets used to hold it together are better quality than any I would normally be able to find for my own projects. I read one review that described the warning diagrams on the handle as saying “it was not supposed to be used as a hammer”. This concerned me because the use of the poll/hammer end of the axe was one of the reasons I ordered this particular one. I’m relieved to see the warning diagrams up close. They appear to be specifically discouraging using a maul to pound on the poll, as well as discouraging using the axe to pound on splitting wedges. As far as I know the vast majority of these types of axes, regardless of brand are not to be used in this way. The eye is not forged to take that kind of abuse and can be deformed under extreme stress. For lighter camp type hammering like tie down stakes etc, this axe should work as well as any other. Overall I would highly recommend this axe. I haven’t seen any expensive Gransfors Bruks axes in person, but I’ve watched many videos and seen many photos. I seriously can’t imagine they would be much, if at all, better than the condition this axe came in. Props to Husqvarna for putting out such a great product at such a reasonable price. If I buy another axe like a hatchet or forest axe, I’m going strait to Husqvarna again!!! And props to Amazon for they’re excellent packaging and free shipping, as well as easy payment!

Plus, the ergonomic handle fits snugly in my hand, providing a comfortable and secure grip even during long hours of use.Portability is key when it comes to outdoor tools, and this hatchet delivers.

El hacha es buenÃsima, muy bien balanceada y mango durÃsimo, resiste mucho más que los de madera y no necesita mantenimiento. La cabeza como tal viene recubierta de teflón para que se pegue menos a la madera, pero como le ponen ese recubrimiento incluso en el filo, lo pierde (aparte de que no viene muy afilada). Hay que afilarla al recibirla. Aparte el mango tiene aun restos de rebabas del moldeado y hay que limarlo, y los remaches de la protección no están pulidos y alguno tiene algun filo. Por lo demás, si no fuese por los acabados (que supongo que como fabricaran 200 por minuto no se preocupan mucho de un buen acabado) el hacha es practicamente perfecta, tanto para corte como para tala
