Perhaps my search skills are a bit weak but, I didn't see much about the Fiskars X7 Hatchet.
Reading some reviews on Amazon, I see a lot of comments about the steel being very soft with some commenting it is just the coating flaking off. Does anyone in this forum use this hatchet?
I had one Fiskars axe a long time ago and found it to be too thick to be practical. This one or the smaller X5 appear on paper to be a good lightweight option with most of the weight in the head and a very durable handle. Do these cut well? Are they appropriate for light limbing and campfires? What do you like or dislike about it?
TIA,
Sid
