Bahco hatchet

[DaleW]

I was in my local Ace hardware and saw a Bahco hachet for about $25. It is ugly but looks like all-business. The head has a straight taper--- very straight lines overall. The handle is big and hearty. Anybody use one?

I do not use one, but Swedish made blades are usually made right. I have a Swedish Wetterlings that I could not be more happy with! One thing to be aware of is that a hatchet that advertises being proficient at both cutting and splitting is usually only O.K. at either.
