Fonly, I'm not sure if I have enough experience with hatchets to evaluate the Kershaw. It feels solidly build, but I think the head could be a little heavier.
I bought my wife her first knife around her birthday. A M-16 by CRKT. Tonto blade and black zyrtel(SP) handles. Then when my Active Duty by Busse got in she got to handle it before I did. I had to pry it out of her hands twice in the first week I had it. I will probelly have to get her one of her own if I ever hope to keep her from swiping it again. Don't get me wrong I think its great she likes knives and guns.
I am going to vote for a Spyderco Calypso Jr. or a Kershaw S30V Leek. Both are great little folders that your wife will get a lot of use out of.
Another option for cheap and light weight are the SAK paring knives in a custom kydex sheath. I do a lot of these and they cut like you wouldn't believe and work great in kydex!!
