I bought this mini Hatchet from Mtech despite knowing that is low quality steel.
The axe is fine to see and the G10 handle is well done and with a good grip.
Not yet tested in the wood I ask if I can I sharpen it with a lansky turn box sharpener or i better to use other? he blade is very small (2,4 inch)

That would work fine for now. Your hatchet has a thin enough edge that the medium-grit rods would be enough to refine the edge. But once the edge takes some damage you'll want something coarser to fix the damage. A file and a coarse/medium stone would be more appropriate for that.
