Japanese Hatchet

  ( 12 Customer Reviews )
Today's Price:$69.90
With its leather covered storage case (which has a belt loop) and its laminated steel blade construction, this is a traditional gardening tool that's terrific for cutting small branches. The thick back of the blade makes it unusually (and intentionally) heavy for its 6-1/2" length, and this translates into great cutting momentum when you are working. It chops like a dream.

substantial slasher
Reviewed By:  Tim Mc (Three Oaks, Michigan) 
I had bought this tool to clean up windbreaks and scrub trees around outbuildings of a recently purchased farm and I now find it indespensible. The mass of the thick blade allows me to zip right through scrub and brush up to an 1 1/4" in diameter. I find it extremely efficient, economical, and safer when limbing smaller branches off of downed trees instead of lugging a chainsaw through the canopy. Great tool, great buy.

Excellent Hatchet
Reviewed By:  Ara (Tulsa, OK) 
I bought this hatchet over 7 years ago from Garrett Wade. I was amazed how sharp it was right out of the box. I have used this hatchet regularly to thin the bamboo and brush from my back yard. There has been nothing this won't cleave it one mighty whack. After all these years and 2 sharpenings this tool still looks like new.

Whack and it is Gone
Reviewed By:  gary hein (Santa Fe, NM) 
I work with a team that records petroglyphs. Often there is a limb in the way of our efforts. One whack with this and it is gone. I like it better than the clippers, saw, and machete I have used. The weight means a lot of force come from a flick of the wrist. I did modify the handle with electrical tape to cover the open slot in the handle that holds the blade. A never mind process. I suspect that this is the traditional method of attaching the blade to the handle. Would be nice if it was wrapped when the customer received it.
