Fiskars Hatchet with 14 Inch Handle and 7 8 Head 7850
Ideal for home or recreational use, the Fiskars hatchet with 14-inch handle features a tough, forged steel axe head. The one-piece handle is over molded around the head to prevent loosening and separation. The stay-sharp fully hardened blade comes with a non-stick coating that cuts with less effort and resists rust. The included fiberglass composite handle is lightweight and strong, and the hatchet includes a plastic sheath for easy transportation and safe storage.

4 Stars Nice hatchet
This hatchet is sharp. No question. It’s balanced well and nicely engineered and crafted. I am using it to split kindling which it does superbly. It is a good weight for light duty splitting. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the plastic handle is slippery, especially with any glove material that tends to get slippery with cold and ice…nylon, fleece etc. I suspect I can find a way to solve that on my own but I am a little surprised, given the quality of design and engineering, that wasn’t taken into account in the first place.
5 Stars Exceeds expectations
I expressed a lot of caution when making this purchase. I camp and hike a fair amount and I punish my hatchet more than any tool I carry. I found that this particular hatchet has a smooth coating simular to teflon on the blade which helps it cut through wood like warm butter. Well not quite that well but it is a noticable improvement. The handle is supposedly indestructable but I’ve yet to run it over with my truck like the commercial advertises but it does feel tough. Overall the weight is light and the length just right. As long as it keeps cutting like it is now I will be happy. So far the blade has held it’s edge longer than any hatchet I’ve had to date.
5 Stars BEST HATCHET EVER!!!
I just got this hatchet in the mail today and have been chopping large kindling with it all day and I’m extremely impressed. I can only say good things about it. First off the handle is unbreakable, it can even stand being run over by a truck! And the blade of the hatchet is very sharp and the steel is quite nice. I’m also planning on buying the 17-Inch Splitting Hatchet because I’m very satisfied with their line of axes/hatchets!
5 Stars best camp hatchet ever
This is the one to get, sharp, light weight, and comfortable. It is much better than the 8 inch one I purchased for backpacking, and hardly weighs more. granted, this is not for splitting wood, it is for felling small trees, removing branches, and making kindeling.
You won’t be sorry
5 Stars fabulous hatchet
Hatchets just don’t come better than this. It will take a very sharp edge and hold it all day long. It’s not a splitting axe. It isn’t an axe at all. What it is though is a tough as nails hatchet that will get any job done that a hatchet is meant to do. If you want a splitting axe get a Fiskars brand splitting axe. If you want a chopping axe Fiskars makes one of those that is also 5 stars. If you want to clear brush on your favorite ATV trail or you want to chop kindling for your campfire this hatchet can’t be beat. Just don’t expect it to be something it isn’t.
