KSEIBIWood Axe, Small Outdoor Camp Hatchet for Splitting and Kindling Wood, Forged Steel Blade with Anti-Slip and Shock Reduction Handle Great Throwing Axes and Hatchets (Modern)

Seems to be a good ax for the price, mine came decently sharp and in excellent condition. feels good in the hand with good weight. like with everything, time will tell...

This seems to be a good all-around hatchet that is not too heavy, not too light, not too long, not too short, is comfortable to hold and well balanced, bites pretty deeply and is easy to sharpen.

Very nice! Compact and well made.

I really enjoy this hatchet very much. I was looking for other hatchets on amazon, and while there are some really good quality ones out there, this Kseibi hatchet was perfect for me. I use it for clearing out branches from my backyard and for when I go camping to split wood. The hatchet itself is actually very nice and it comes with a vibration reducing handle that is fiberglass, but coated by rubber to help reduce impact when chopping with it. The only downside to this very affordable hatchet, is that the factory forged steel is somewhat soft and will, over time, start to minorly chip and slightly bend depending on its use and care. There have also been reports/reviews of the plastic piece that wraps around the top of the metal of the hatchet base from the handle possibly breaking off with time/overuse. This to me seems superficial and does not effect the use of the hatchet. I primarily bought it for the minor use that I listed at the top, and do not plan on using it for anything that would require a full-fledged axe, so that means no ambitious tree chopping or improper striking against hard surfaces on accident. I have read some of the reviews about how hard it is to sharpen, and some people have even said its sharp right out the box ready to use, mine was not, which is fine, I'd rather sharpen it myself anyways. I did buy an axe sharpening stone with it, and when sharpening it, you do need to put a little elbow grease into it, but please wear gloves and/or any kind of sharpening protection. If you can't sharpen it yourself, Ace Hardware or any other type of place like that might be able to sharpen it for you for a price. Last mention of the hatchet, I purchased the hatchet with the cloth sheath for protection when transporting it just to be safe, and it has a loop on the back of the sheath to hang or loop around something for easy transport. A really good video review for this hatchet is done by a Youtuber by the name of Midgard Axe, he helped me make my decision about this product. I gave it a four out of five because of the softness of the steel and the potential of the plastic part coming off when using, other than that, great hatchet for the price. Enjoy and be safe!

Aesthetics. 5 stars.Weight distribution. 5 starts.Factory edge. 10 out of 5 starsWith a mere graze of my left thumb this thing took a notable chunk from my hand. I was so impressed with the clean cut and, and lack of effort to remove such a large piece of flesh that I was adamant to give this product a 5 star review!!! I have done far less damage to myself with more expenses tools while exerting more force. This thing is a steal of a deal

Great tool. Well balanced and easy to use. I had a plant right up against the house, so space was super-tight. Even small strokes hit the mark and I was able to get the plant roots out of the ground.

Real blade it didnt dent or go side ways. Good weight and function. Unlike the fiskers, this ones blade seems properly tempered.

Yes it cuts and it works but needs constant sharpening, it dulls out way to quickly and the edge rolls over but it does work and it splits small wood easily when sharp
