Bear Grylls Ultimate Hatchet

Great hatchet! Looks and feel quality! Would buy again and gift!

I like Bear Grylls products, this hatchet doesn't disappoint. Its sharp, light weight . But the reason for the 4 stars is it is not full tang as advertised, disappointing. But I'd recommend it.

Not too big, light and very sharp.

Very thin, very light I wanna send it back.

Turned these into a Viking axe

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.

I do have a so-called boy scout hatchet, but the quality of this hatchet is what I wanted. I wanted it because I wanted something lightweight to use around my property. It turned out to be exactly what I wanted and needed. I didn't want one with a wooden handle as they can and do break. This hatchet has a stainless blade that will take an edge readily. I like the fact that it has a sheath because it does come sharp. Just unpacking it I nicked a knuckle and drew blood ... lots of it. The sheath isn't a safety one like another one I have so be careful if you have small children in the home. The handle has a no-slip silicone grip and has an excellent ergonomic design. It doesn’t hurt that the hatchet weighs less than a pound, making it easier to handle. I do love the look and curve of the blade on this one. The cutting edge(bevel) should be sharpened before use, but it's sharp enough for my purposes. This hatchet will cut or split wood, something I usually do with smaller hatchets. This can also be used as a throwing hatchet, but I'll be using it around my property.

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

Okay, first off,I own the bear grylls survival knife and folding one(and a spare when it gets too worn) The hatchet is nice but the handle is hard and plastic slickness where as the older knifes have a more textured finish that feels way better on the hands, and gives you more grip. I would have concerns about slippage because of this new change. Maybe this would last longer but the older handles made me feel safer. You fix this and you would be back up to 5 stars.

This hatchet is useless and on top of that it's not a full tang. Got one camping trip out of it. Very expensive hatchet for only one time use.
