Found Marbles 6 7/8 Long AX for EDC, does anybody have one?

[bigchelis]

Hi all,
I purchased this AX on Ebay. Its just 6 7/8 long with 3 in cutting blade. Seems to me like a great EDC contender I am just waiting for it in the mail.
It is made by Marbles so its inexpensive $15 and I just hope its as good as their hatchets.
I looked everywhere online to try and find out about it but couldn't. Like is it hand forged and is it high carbon ect..

Do any of you have this one?
Do any of you EDC small tiny AX?

Best,
bigC

That is a novelty as a hatchet, it seems like it is far to light to do well in that roll, and improperly shaped to take the place of a good knife. Are you sure that it isn't designed to be a cleaver? It looks like that is it's intended design purpose. What does it weigh?

It is sold on ebay as a Mini AX. Just says its size but no weight info. I get it next Monday in the mail.


I would use it to EDC as a Fixed blade for winter when I carry big jackets and just stuff it in a coat jacket.

Looks like a cleaver to me. Calling it an axe is just a marketing thing.
