I use an old Jet-Rocket hatchet. It is indestructible and about 40 years old. I am interested in some of the new flat hatchets I see on the web. Made by Ranger, Tops, Timberline and the mysterious Busse, Junkyard and SW's. Are they worth using? I use F=MA as a guideline. The mass of an hatchet gives you more force. These flat hatchets have to be lighter so you have to expend more energy to get the same force. I would like some recommendations and here some of your experiences with these items. Some can be quite expensive and I don't want to waste the money on one that will not do the job as well as my jet-rocket or old Estwig. Thank, Jerry
