Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fiskars 7850 X7 14-Inch Hatchet
Customer Review: Fine lightweight hand ax
Summary: 5 Stars
This hand ax came razor sharp from the manufacture and has held an edge in light use so far. At 14" long it's a big hand ax and despite it's lightweight feels good in the hand. It is better suited for cutting than splitting with its blade's profile. The back end makes short work of tent stakes.Customer Review: GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
These axes are amazing, they cut trees down in fractions of the time others do, i used them for my eagle project where we had to gut out 600 sq yards of dense brush and trees, and it took less than 200 hours with alot of little kids workingwith them. They are comfortable, and work perfect. This is by far the best axe/hatchet i have ever seen. period.Customer Review: Good balance
Summary: 5 Stars
This hatchet has great balance and a fine blade. The workmanship is first-rate. What more does one need, other than a good eye and strong arm?Customer Review: Good handle, not so good head/steel
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this axe after watching the Fiskars axes being run over with a giant truck and not breaking. Fiskars axes being made in Finland so they seem like good quality. I've been using this axe to split a lot of wood. It does a decent job on softer wood like pine. It doesn't do so well on the harder woods. This is due to the edge being too soft. It rolls very easily. Now, I'm not a metalurgist but I can tell you that either the steel used in these axes is very low quality or they just harden it very soft (53-54RC)so edges won't chip. I think it's both. In contrast, a high quality, axe type steel can be very though yet at the same time can have a thin edge to chop well. This isn't the case here. I do like the fiberglass handle that's why I still use this axe. The handle is very light so most of the weight is on the head. In summary: Good hande, not so good head/steel.Customer Review: Good stuff
Summary: 4 Stars
Does the job and takes a beating. Just keep in mind that it is a lot smaller than some standard sized hatchets (blade profile especially). It would be even better for camp if it came with a sheath of any sort other than the cheap plastic housing it hangs on a shelf in.
