Great Build Quality, Edge Grind Needs Improvement
Very nice quality hatchet, the grind that comes on the axe out of the box could be improved and refined, the hatchet needed some work on the sharpening stone. Additionally, the sheath did not fit the hatchet, but Garret Wade quickly remedied the issue when I reached out to their customer service reps! -
Improve the Edge Grind, Great Customer Service
The yankee hatchet came with a coarse edge grind and the wrong sheath size. However, with some quick work on a sharpening stone this hatchet become a great tool! Additionally, Garrett Wade customer services quickly resolved the sheath size issue, sending me a new sheath within a week of me reaching out to customer service. This would be a 5 star product review if the hatchet came out of the box with a better edge grind. -
Great value
Splitting hatchet is a great value. Grain orientation on the handle was good, the length of handle and the weight of the head give it a good balance. Easy to choke up a a bit for small stuff and with a bit of muscle behind it will easily split larger logs. I use it for making kindling ....works great and I'd buy it again. Its for kindling/small stuff....its not a splitting maul ! -
Scandinavian splitting hatchet is excellent
I purchased this to go next to my HB hatchet by my wood stove. It breaks up wood well as the steel is of excellent quality. Easily on par with $150 hatchets. I would highly recommend. It far exceeded my expectations in all aspects. -
Good, but...
Hatchet is good quality, but no one can get the sheath to fit. It appears to be too small, and not even the cross-fit weightlifter of the family can get it to close around the blade. -
Nice but not very sharp?
Got the Yankee as a gift. It seemed to have a nice edge on it but that dulled quickly during use while camping. It's being sharpened ahead of the next camping trip so hopefully it holds its edge better this time. Maybe it wasn't fully sharpened for shipping?

Thank you for your review on the Yankee Hatchet. Our tools are always sharpened by the manufacturer but they could always be a little sharper.
