It also is qualifies for competitive axe throwing in the two major organizations, so whether its an all-in-one tool at the campsite or being thrown on the professional circuit, the Flying Fox can do it all.

Haven't cut w/hatchet yet, but leather cover is too small by a full half inch

It's a beautiful leather cover, but shaving the manufacturing tolerances to leave no margin for error has left me a hatchet with no utility. For son's birthday, so pretty disappointed in end product. Also, product says "Council Tool" as mfr on handle, with a Frost River paper sticker on it. Presentation on the useless leather cover is beautiful, I'll give you that much.

Haven’t used it in the field yet but plan to soon. I was looking for a hatchet made in the US with great quality and unique and this seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Also super fast shipping and definitely get the free brochure. I will further review once used but also happy to see that it came sharpened and ready to go. I’m looking forward to getting more products from Frost River!
