A great hatchet from Esker

[Revolverrodger]

Here is a look at the awesome hatchet by Esker. It has a 1.6lb head and a 16 inch handle which makes it compact but very capable. It can chop, split and performs well for all types of bushcraft tasks… it has become my favorite hatchet

That is a very unsafe way to fell a tree. No axe/hatchet skills here at all ! Please do not post videos on this forum for new axe/hatchet users to watch if you do not know what you are doing.

That's a real scary barberchair split and you're lucky it didn't uppercut you. Be sure to use back cuts to prevent this. Even a small tree like that one can seriously injure you.

anyhow i am not here to roast you (lucky chap)
well it's not the first review of that hatchet i see , it seems to be a very capable bushcraft hatchet, head flaring just enough and ready handle even if i think the soulder is a bit too long. it is a montreal pattern one off my favorite! i watched with no sound ; so i just can assume sheath is from factory, and seems to be decent, handle has a nice wood grain and honey color almost looks like orange osage (no sound again sorry.) nice purchase congratulations!
