13.5 Inch Hatchet, Camping Axe 1055 Carbon Steel and Beech Handle, Survival Hatchet with Leather Sheath for Wood Splitting and Kindling

I ordered this for my boyfriend, who is into bushcraft. This is a great size for outings or camping. Perfect for throwing in your car for trips in case of an emergency. It's sturdy and a pretty solid weight. The head is on tight. Easily sharpens. Holster and sheath are nice as well.

Got this after our last camping trip because the one we had was pathetic and we needed one that would actually be useful. This axe is fantastic quality and very well made and sturdy. Hubby played around with it and says he is impressed at how comfortable and easy it is to use. It's not too biz, but it gets the job done very well. The sheath is very good quality as well and the sharpening stone is a lovely addition. Everything comes very nicely packaged and is very presentable. Overall, we are very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend this axe.

I recently purchased the WICING 13.5 Inch Hatchet and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This camping axe is made of high-quality 1065 carbon steel and features a beautiful beech handle that feels comfortable and secure in my hand. The hatchet is versatile and has been extremely useful for various outdoor activities from chopping firewood to clearing branches on camping trips. I especially love the leather sheath that comes with it, providing protection and making it easy to carry around. Overall, I highly recommend the WICING Hatchet to anyone looking for a reliable and durable outdoor tool for their adventures.

The head came a little scuffed up, but over all looks pretty good out of the box. I wish it was hung a little cleaner but it's pretty solid. Heavier than expected but I personally like the weight of it. Unfortunately, a rivet popped off when I picked up the belt loop, but that's just a quick fix.Overall I enjoyed using this so far. Was able to easily split up some firewood, and hack through some knotted deadwood (just to test durability). The handle is pretty comfortable too, and looks great.Good gift idea for dads! Lol

I just got this and I am impressed by the sharpness. It can cut wood easily. The handle is just great and the head is not loose at all. The wood I cut was split easily. The axe seems to be made well and the set-up is just perfect. Nice weight. Not too heavy. Great for this summer cutting woods.

Don’t buy this thing, I took one swing with it and the handle broke. Absolute piece of junk.

This and many similar hatchets have wildly mixed reviews with quality being all over the place, and it seems just a crapshoot whether one gets a good one or not.The first thing I noticed opening this hatchet is the amount of adhesive packed into the eye around the handle. So much, in fact, it had dripped and coated about half of the axehead. The top of the handle protruding from the eye was cracked a split a little, but the circular wedge was at least centered. Bad hanging aside, the handle appeared to be well-grained and straight. The handle appeared to be stained, but at least it was wasnt coated in varnish, which promptly get sanded off my tools anyway as a blister-causer.The axe head itself, some scratches and glue aside, seemed to be made well, and the edge was set up in sort of a chisel style, with one side being fairly flat to the head, and the other side beveled more. Whether this was done intentionally or just as a result of poor shaping, I don't know.It did come pretty dull, but that's not uncommon or worth taking stars off. The included puck-style sharpening stone helped me give it a workable edge in about 5-10 minutes.For a test, I chopped a dried log in half, roughly 6" diameter. It cut really good, and has a nice weight for such a small hatchet. The handle was still firmly attached with no looseness after the log was in 2.Chocking up on the handle, the beard of the axe does protect one's hand while shaving or whittling.The leather blade keeper and belt loop seem pretty serviceable, but I have a feeling those big brass rivets won't last very long.Overall, I find it to be a nice little axe, but for the price, I would have appreciated a little better quality control on the hanging and the edge geometry.

This thing is sweet! Has an attractive build and is comfortable to swing. Good weight in hand. Feels very sturdy and functionble
