MTech USA Camping Axe, Two-Tone Blade, Black Rubberized Handle, 11-Inch Overall

OK. For all the whiners out there saying its "smaller" than they expected. Its actually BIGGER than stated in the description. 12" total length, 3 1/2" wide blade. The sheath is adequate, with a blade guard. Its a great weight for light to medium chopping. The handle is comfortable but thin. I have no trouble gripping it at all. Even better with gloves on. Its a perfect addition to my gear, giving my machete a break from chopping kindling, and giving me a hammer for my tent stakes. Upon receiving it I took it to the bathroom where the light is good, and proceeded to SHAVE a bald spot on my arm. YES, MINE IS SHAVING SHARP, right outta the box. The textured finish on the black portion of the blade and handle looks great. I am VERY SATISFIED with my purchase and have already recommended it to others. This is my 7th Mtech product, and they ALL have surpassed my expectations. Thanks for a great product and an outstanding value.

This axe is heavier than most which I prefer. Very well made item. Will be set after I put a nice sharp edge on it. Looks good ... Easy to manuver.... Mate black is a plus. Con: handle is a little small for the weight of the axe but over all very nice. Purchased another axe for half the cost "on sale" to compare too. There was no comparison this axe was - hands down better made ,better usability, and better quality. Worth every penny !!!

The axe is great. Very high quality. Extremely sharp. But the axe cover is not so great. The stitching came of at the bottom part of the cover the second day I had it. The cover does have a strap to hook on to a belt but the axe does not fit it and fell out. So I ended up sticking the axe in the belt with the cover on it.

This is an excellent camping axe for the price. I was mainly looking something to split some kindling off fire wood and this is perfect. It's a good weight, not too large, but has enough to give it a good swing. This thing comes EXTREMELY sharp! So be careful opening and using it. It does not need to be sharpened. I barely bumped my finger with it and got a good slice.Overall very pleased with this purchase and the quality of the axe, can't beat it for the price

Overall, I love this product! It does the job and it's ideal for carrying around on you. It's not to heavy either. The blade of the M-tech hatchet is what I expected it to be, it cuts through dry wood like butter. It has in back of the blade some weight which is good for penetrating through whatever your cutting. Also it comes with a blade cover which I thought was useful and safe. This is a very excellent and effective product for whatever your cutting.

This could be a good axe but for me the handle is too thin and doesn't have alot of grip to it. The axe itself is smaller than I expected. Also, the thin handle makes it hard to hold if you have bigger hands. I'm afraid it might go flying if I get sweat on my hands or lose concentration while swinging. Overall, it cuts well. It comes with a sheath/cover but it doesn't fit snug. The axe slips right out of the which makes it useless if you'd like to carry it on your belt (which seems to be the intended use). It's more of a "just in case" tool. Can't say how well it'll hold it's edge yet but it arrived sharp and ready to go.

A fantastic versatile durable lightweight short handled hatchet. I bought this to carry with me on hikes as well as backpacking and camping trips. I love the Comfort grip handle the sharpness durability of the hatchet and the belt clip. I've used this from chopping small little branches to cutting my way through some sizable logs and a necessary cases even cutting my food. I am very pleased with the weight and the compactness. when choosing something this lightweight and compact your trading off some of the force from the swing as well as the weight in your ability to chop through wood. the strength and durability as well as the sharpness of the hatchet blade makes up for a little bit of this. but when it comes to cutting larger logs be prepared to take lots and lots of swings.

Bought this for a weekend backpacking trip with a couple friends. Came in a couple days before leaving and was already really sharp which was perfect. It doesn't have a lot of weight behind it so definitely takes some elbow grease to use but I was backpacking so this was a plus for me. Put it to good use as a hammer for the tents, chopping kindling and decided to cut up a fallen tree. Tree was about 3 feet thick and took turns hacking at it and took about 30 min. Was amazed as well as friends at how well it cut through it.Very happy with this buy.
