Outdoor And Sar Guy
I have used this on several camping trips and a search and rescue mission. For the size, this hatchet can do quite a bit of work. I found it best for splitting logs under 8 inches in diameter, but you can go bigger if you commit yourself to a good swing more outside cuts. It does a fine job cutting deadfall thanks to the grip (lanyard still recommended for long periods of use). It may not be a "bushcrafting" tool, but I found that it cuts feather sticks pretty well for an ax and easily cuts grooves into logs for easier catching at the campfire. The edge retention has been very good and I have not had to do any serious resharpening after work. The only little chip in the blade came from when I hit the dirt.

Lightweight
Axe is very Lightweight with a full metal axe head. Wife got me to use it on a pound of frozen meat and with one tap of a rubber mallet it cut through the meat. Axe should make a great camp tool.
