F Hatchet
Couldn't find any reviews for these online anywhere so I thought I'd drop one.I've been using hatchets and smaller axes like boys axes for cutting trails. I have the adler rheinland hatchet and loved that so I thought I'd try another german made. Went with the firemans hatchet as that seemed like a unique idea and 20 inches is around what I look for in the larger axes I use.Fit and finish are probably the best I've seen for under 100 dollars. Edge didnt come sharp but I imagine that may just be due to "fireman's" style axes to be more for demo work. After putting an edge on it performed really well despite my concern with the shape and having a pick on the other end.My only gripe is this doesn't come with a sheath, but im not going to give it 4 stars because of that. From what I gather these are their more economical line of axes, which seem to be discontiuned now, so that was probably a big cost saver.Not sure why these were discontuned, maybe people into helko want their more expensive models. If you are looking at something in the sub or near 100 dollar range I think it would be hard to beat this.
