Review on Gerber Pack Hatchet Camping Axe - Coyote Brown Handle/Black Blade [Optimized for SEO: 31-003484] by Tony Conlon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Light hatchet. You get what you paid for.

A very simple light hatchet. It's not clear what the hype is about. I can't split wood with it as it doesn't have enough weight or length to allow significant downward movement, but it handles kindling from logs fairly well. Possibly another use I can use to work with real woodwork, but for real camping use I'll stick with a full length hatchet. As mentioned earlier, this is a replacement for a long knife if you prefer to carry a smaller profile knife and opt for a ribbon hatchet for light work.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
