Beautiful tool, I’d rather the back surface came polished, but I’m definitely the oddity for wanting my hatchet to double as a planishing hammer. The grain of the handle is in the right direction and the edge out of the box is nearly immaculate, The leather accessories are also very nice, it only comes with the sheath but I really like the overstrike guard as well.

Great hatchet. Already taken out for a couple weeks on the trail…invaluable tool, used every night. Great weight, fantastic build.

Perfect. Just as expected.
