The handle feels good and the blade is easy to sharpen. It's fairly small in sized.
I wish it was made of better steel, but otherwise, the size and weight saving capabilities of this make it great for campsites and short trips
This is a pretty bad hatchet, I've used it twice to cut branches (Which it did fine) and it's already denting.
This is a great hatchet. It really chops well for its size. However you should be a little easy on the big branches because mine did chip. But still an overall great hatchet.
Great small, light weight, sharp, solid hatchet. Use for back country hunting and camping. Does a good job on small chores At hunting camp from firewood to butchering. Won't go to the woods without it.
The Great Hatchet in the world and very strong still tools . great sharp use and need any people thank you
I liked the hatchet at first. I took it backpacking, we used it to chop up some branches and now it has dings and gouges in the blade. Not sure why this happened, it was only wood. I would not buy this product again. I gave it three stars because it is small and compact, but now I will have to redo the blade to use it.
It is a great hatchet that I hope to have for the rest of my life , great sheath great job GERBER
Still going strong. Very High Quality. Only down side is the sheath. It needs one dome in the middle of the flap, because the Velcro loses its stick after a while.
Awesome product! Got a few weeks back, it works like a charm. Any other hatchet can only dream of this quality.
At first, it seems to have a sharp blade. However, it gets dull easily and the blade rolls over and chips. I used it for about 3 hours and the blade got damaged. It would have used baf steel because they did not sat anything about what the hatchet is made out of.
There are better hatchets in gerber like the gerber gator hatchet
I've had this little hatchet for a while now, and it is by far the best I've ever owned! It makes quick work of branches, of all sizes. One inch diameter branches fall with one well-placed hit; two and three inch branches still only take a few (to a little more than a few) strong hits to cut through. I stress tested it the day I got it on a *small* oak tree, roughly 6 inches in diameter, well beyond it's intended use. After a few minutes of quite the workout, the inspected blade was chip-free and still just as near razor sharp as it came with! It's solid tang construction makes you feel you can be as rough as you want with this little guy, and I expect to have this for the rest of my life! (It also makes a fun throwing axe, hehe)
This is hands down the best hatchet I have ever owned
Awesome chopping power! Holds it's edge very well. Small and light. A great survival tool!
I got this for Christmas, and so far it is great!!! It has a great blade, especially since it has a full tang. But I HATE the sheath! But besides that, I love it!
Really good hatchet the only thing that sucks is its hardish to get out but over all worth it!
This thing is awesome!! I love it and I would take it to any survival situation
This is by far the best hatchet ever. It is very durable and lightweight. The blade is sharp as heck and the handle is very grippy. The only downside is that the thread that holds the sheath together is fraying a little bit, but other than that it is amazing!!
Thanks Gerber!!
I agree with the good things people are saying about this tool. It is good in the KITCHEN too. (wish I had a matching sheath for my Chef's Knife).
I love this hatchet. I highly recommend buying this if you are camping or hiking. Don't let the weight of it keep you from buying it especially because it is lightweight and multipurpose. Thanks Gerber.

I don't step outdoors without some Bear Grylls equipment on me. This hatchet is great and can substitute for a knife.
One of the first times I took it out of the sheath it knicked my finger and I bled everywhere! Thing comes sharp! Feels solid. Love the forward grip. Great size for hiking, survival / go bags etc.
Out of the box, this hatchet looks, feels, and handles great! This tool comes amazingly sharp, in fact that you can widdle with this.
When I got this I was expecting to cut down a tree (big ego right!), but I soon learned that this was better for smaller tasks. It is great for getting kindling and fine shavings for starting fires.
Overall, this is a great hatchet! I always take it hunting with me because you never know...
This is a amazing hatchet. It is not a traditional hatchet with a heavy head, but it cuts fairly well and is extremely lightweight. I have used it multiple times and had to get stitches after one! But I would highly recommend it Boy Scouts, but if you are looking for a traditional hatchet, try another of Gerber gears products
I bought this for back country camping, by far the best hatchet I have ever owned. Forward grip allows you to strip branches very quickly and easily. Hatchet is great for carving as well, balance offers great control for bulking.
The best survival hatchet that I have used. Durable one-piece construction that is practically indestructible. People need to read the description of the hatchet before they think they are going to chop down a redwood tree. Trust my life to this without second thoughts.
Some buy one and leave a review so I can get some opinions.
- thank you
This axe is good for weekend camping. Because it's light in weight, it takes more effort to cut a tree down than using a regular sized axe. I tried it out on some lumber and it took a long time. I don't think I would use this on a large log or piece of wood.I put it in the back on my jeep as part of my emergency equipment. The Bear Grylls survivial knife cuts wood just as good as this axe. So if you already have the knife, you don't need this axe.
I can't wait for this to be available in stores!!!
