Bear GryllsUltimate Hatchet, Axe for Camping, Survival, and Backpacking, Includes Sheath, Bottle Opener, Hammer, and Hex Wrench, 3cr13 Stainless Steel - Black Oxide

light weight good feel and heft for a back packing hatchet. The only thing I would have liked if it had a wider area for pounding tent pegs.

Solid, but lightweight and good functionality. Good value, sharp. If need to split bigger wood get a bigger axe.

This looks like a full tang hatchet. It seems like it's got an edge on it, and it's thick enough that it should hold up to chopping some wood. The bottom has a little metal to use as a hammer. Top inside the blade looks like you can turn some bolts with it (maybe), back of the top has a can opener. I'm not really a fan of multi-use items. They could have just made a nice solid sharp hatchet and it would be good. If when I use it, if for some reason it fails me I will come back and update this rating. The reason I didn't give it five stars is the hatchet cover is kind of budget made. I don't think I'd try carrying this on my belt loop, but I would lash it to my backpack if I planned on using it to cut small wood for a stove or needed to cut a little bigger stuff for what I'd need to lash up a lean-to using a tarp. That being said, four out of five for function! - Thank you! -Mike

Light and very sharp, nice case and cuts wood fast!

Junk does not hold up to quartering out an elkThe second date today

Needed to cut down a couple small trees growing on our fence line and it took little effort to cut them down. I love all of Bear’s products. Would buy again!

Not for everyday splitting of wood, but I bought as a 'prepper'. Well balance in hand. It will serve well in camping and emergencies. I used to cut/split/stack 20 cords of wood a season. Not for that purpose, but for the other items I listed, perfect and well balanced in hand.

Needs proper cover.
