Great Lil' Axe!

May not be some huge splitting maul so don't expect to fell some giant tree, but it feels good in the hand, sheath is nice and fits snugly, and it can take a beating if it needs to.

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!
