Jonaker Hatchet

For the price I was expecting it to have similar quality of my Gransfors Bruk but it defiantly does not, there are all kinds of cast marks on it still. The head is painted poorly with drips all over it, thought it was blackened but is not. Was not sharp on arrival and all together looks sub par for the cost, will be returning it and going with a better brand.

What can I say? I'm a fanboy of Swedish Steel, particularly axes. The size and weight of the hatchet is perfect for carrying at all times as I hike for "random acts of trail maitanence". I just hook it inside the left side of my hip belt and I can remove it at ease to chop stray branches or chop steps into treefall for myself and others. And it cuts wood like butter. I bought a Gransfor Bruk Wildlife hatchet and wound up giving it to my son as I was unhappy with the "cheap" leather sheath. The Gransfor itself was fine but the sheath or hood is part of the picture and on the Hults the full grain leather hood is great. The steel is great, came with a good edge and sharpens quickly, do be aware that this is high carbon and will rust quickly, I take a small bottle of oil, a stone and a rag into the field to keep this hatchet in tip top shape. I have three Husquavara axes and hatchets and they are a wonderful value, however, they don't make a "pee wee". Again, excellent axe, most especially for the backcountry and when considering a survival knife or axe.. hey it's axe/hatchet all the way!!! God Bless and be well.

Absolutely beautiful little hatchet. Head has a good fit on handle, razor sharp edge and the quality of both the head and handle is beautiful. Would buy again

Love the look, feel and balance, sharpness, construction, quality. It is nice to get a tool that is actually sharp and I mean real sharp, i can shave hair with it. It’s very comfortable in the hand and it’s exactly the length I wanted, short like 1 foot handle and a sharp balanced head! It is so worth the money that I am looking up their other products.

I have wanted this hand axe for a while and I am very happy with my purchase. It is a perfect little hand-held for camping, and I like the ergonomics of it. A cheaper hatchet will probably do just fine for the average users need, but if you are into the Swedish axes you won't be disappointed adding this to your collection.
