Tivoli 9-inch Small Hatchet Axe for Camping, Small Wood Hatchet Hand Axe, Hand Forged Carbon Steel Short Camp Axe for Chopping Wood, Ash Wood Handle, Retro Sheath

I’ll give this a five but it deserves a little less. When I got it the edge on the blade was awful and as dull as a butter knife. The angle was all wrong and in places the edge was thick and blunt. After about an hour plus with first a file then a stone I can now practically shave with it. This required lots of work, finesse and sharpening experience, something that lots of people don’t have an understanding of or practice with. This all being said the bit does seem to hold a very good edge when using it so the quality of steel is pretty good I’d say. GOOD LUCK!

No it doesn’t come from Sweden 🇸🇪 or Germany 🇩🇪 Origin Unkown..🤔First impression wow for $30 nice looking Yes the handle was loose upon arrival 48hrs soaking 🪓 Axe Head in linseed oil/ setting barrel shim deeper ..👍🏼 No not Gransfer Bruk / Hultafor 🇸🇪For little I will use it … I count justify spending $263 on Swedish 🪓Time will tell on Rockwell Hardness of Blade..🤞🏼

I use the at work and home every day 2 months I out it threw hell it incredibly impressive I'm buying another one or 2 so I have them bec iv have 50 dollar to 250 dollar hatchets/axes this thing splits like a freaking maul and is durable tough and the shape of the head makes it slice like a hot knife threw warm butter i put it threw hell when I say use it's used hard. I'm really impressed

Good little axe it's a very thick axe head. It come kinda sharp but I want it for carving so it and my grinder have a date. The leather sheath was nice quality.

I bought this small hatchet to see if I could use it for controlled carving by choking up on the handle with my fingers between the blade and the handle. I can, and it works fairly well for shaving off small strips of wood. If I use it like a hatchet, however, the head is a little loose on the handle and will need to be re-seated to provide better control. To be fair, I also have larger, heavier versions of this hatchet with longer handles, and they have secure heads and work great as hatchets (and also reasonably well at carving). The leather sheath is a definite plus.

Very Loose head upon arrival, I mean really, how can they sell a hatchet with a head that wobbles from the get go? Now I need to remove the barrel wedge (no minor doing) and replace it with a properly fitted wedge. (Fixable)The handle grain is about 30 degrees off vertical. (Not easily fixable)Sharpness is just OK, though a small hand axe should be razor sharp considering how it will be used. (Fixable)Head size and weight is great. The appearance and head shape are very nice as well, so I'm willing to put in the work to get it right, I just shouldn't have to. Nevertheless it is priced at about one quarter to one third of a Gransfors so if you do not mind a project go for it as it has potential.

It's a good bearded hatchet. Perfect for the stuff that doesn't require a full on axe. It comes with a sheath and a rubber edge protector. I definitely would recommend it to my friends.

Although not a seasoned bushcrafter..yet. This axe seems like it will be decent enough to start the learning process.- axe head is dry and whatever the black end coating is is chipped in places and worn in others. Also some overspray of coating between the butt and the shoulder. UPDATE: The butt is slightly canted and the shape isn’t rectangular- not a smith but the quality of the head appears to be decent- axe will require sharpening right out of the box as it’s got an edge that would probably pinch more then cut- obviously its a mass produced head as the eye is offset slightly to the right and the bit points slightly (3-4 mm) to the right..- grind towards the toe on the right appears to have been ground inappropriately and instead of sloping gentry towards the bit.. flairs out slightly then back in.. not a deal breaker- the handle is dry and will require a light sanding as there are imperfections protruding from it. Will need some linseed or other oil to protect it.- the paracord will be replaced with something that could act as a fire starter if required.- the sheath is fine…probably won’t hold up long and also will require a protectantUPDATE: I have downgraded from original to a 2-star rating based on the quality of the head. I think there are probably better options at this price point that would be in better shape than this one. I had uploaded pictures but they didn’t take.
