Gerber Pack Hatchet Camping Axe - Coyote Brown Handle/Black Blade [31-003484]

Good value for a quality product

ミニマルなキャンプや野営シチュエーションでも対応できそう。ぶら下げたり、ベルトに通して完全固定したりと重宝するシース。サイズといい、バランスといい携行性抜群。実用面も指のかかる部分の処理に考え抜かれた工夫が〇。また、防錆コートされた全体、プラ製持ち手カバーの外観は頼りにできますナ。

Nice small hatchet. The feel is nice but havent had a chance to really use it. More of a collection purchase but it help chopping some roots of a tree housing cut down but didnt remove the stump and roots.

Getting some decent action out of it. Although for most enthusiasts a sturdier camping axe will definitely be required. All things said and done it'll process bush up to about 2-3" max, anything larger and the effort just isnt worth it. It does however have a nice fingergrip around the head, and I use it as a multipurpose tool. It'll chop, it'll shave, it's back can hammer pegs, break rocks, bones, etc... For what they're aiming for though, it works well, lightweight, easy to trek with. I haven't found any issues with the sheath while wearing it on a belt, it comes out easy from that angle, doesn't catch on anything. However it is difficult to draw from different angles, probably what these other reviewers are mentioning, but again it's obviously meant to be latched to a belt... So why carry it any other way. The blade is mid-fine edge, not fine, and it'll need a good whetstone to get sharp after first use. Easy enough to resharpen that sort of edge though, a monkey could do it. The haft/handle is comfortable, despite being full tang + workings on the handle it's still balanced well. Over all decent, my biggest issue is with the angle of its edge, but I think I understand their decision. Decent sharpness/reapplying sharpness balance is difficult to achieve, especially at this cost.
