Based on the one i got i cannot recommend. The quality is shoddy. Not from the manufacturing standpoint, but from the actual finishing of the hatchet. It kind of surprises me coming from spyderco. I have some pictures but right now I'm a little let down so i don't feel like talking much more about this. Even the sheath has flaws which i wouldn't care about coming with an ace $100 cheaper, but for about $175, this isn't acceptable. Hope others have better luck with theirs. It's going back and I'm going to peruse for a small council tool velvicut.
Interesting comments. I have the Council Velvicut Saddle Axe and its actually a pretty nice tool. Is it practical for my actual needs in the field - - well, not really. Other tools I have do the job for a lot cheaper, are superior values. I admit to being bit by the ‘Nessmuck trio’ bug when I got it. It has a double edge 5160 blade & a nice hickory handle & is still cheaper than the Spyderco.
