This El Salvador made hatchet is of highest quality $40 can buy. The wood is excellent. It comes un-coated. You can coat it with whichever finish you prefer. Metal is excellent as well. Edge looks nice and remained sharp after a short test striking a dead tree about two dozen times. I prefer this over all steel hatchets. I just need to find a sheath that will cover this perfectly.

Almost everything is great about this camp axe, the only complaint is the grain orientation of the handle is opposite of what it should be, this means it WILL snap sooner than later. The great thing about this axe and the main reason I purchased it is it does come from the same factory as Condor products. I will be making a custom handle with the proper grain orientation. Also SMKW has a full line of Marbles products and this axe is around $20 there...of course I found that out after purchasing this one on Ebay. You can't go wrong with Marbles axes, just shop around first.

This small axe is nicely put together for the price . Like other reviews it is made in San Salvador and is worthy of praise . Hickory handle is 15 inches give or take a little and wood grain is oriented in the proper way to give strength and flexibility swelling near axe head gives it strength and also at the grip end so it does not slip . Head is well made, not sure if its hand forged as there are no forging marks on it that are readily visible , although it is purported to be . Used it to trim trees and make kindling and head is still tight with no visible chips or marks to edge. Have not really pounded hard wood with it but looks like it will take some punishment . You will need to sharpen edge to your liking but is sharp of the box. Head is fixed on by hardwood wedge and circular metal ring. If you want an inexpensive camp axe that has some nice quality features in it go for it there are reviews in YouTube as well that help to understand the makeup of this axe.Read full review

The camp axe is very well made. It has a very tight fit for the handle, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I needed to sharpen it.
