Rob Palski: Seems like my old Fiskars 540gr hatchet has finally a worthy partner/competition on my backpack spot. Schrade is weighing at 640gr so heavier but is a full steel construction. I will not worry about braking handle while wedge-splitting a log with this one. The "machete" in this kit for me is an extra, which most likely I will not use much. Not sure about the "machete" designation but I guess if someone needs a survival type fixed blade, this will do just fine. Overall, great camping set.

Leshanna: Got this for my husband. He had short stubby hands and the hatch handle is uncomfortable and thin for his hand. I have long thin hands and it feels good in my hand. The sheath for the hatch at first glance isn't bad but after seeing the sheath for the knife, the hatched sheath seems cheaply made and doesn't fit right. Husband LOVES the knife. so worth for the knife alone. the hatchet does work but you may need a hammer to really set it into wood if you don't have a good grip on it.

Amazon Customer: Well balance Hatchet & the weight is great. Great handling for both. A bit long knife & thickness may concern if you think too cut off big branches like a hatchet. For that price don't think it's a High quality one but it does great in woods & it's stainless. Bring a sharpener. Really don't need to pay more unless your really living in the wilderness. If I was in survival mode...I will be more than happy that have those.

SLS-LDS: I purchased this hatchet and knife for light miscellaneous use in a campsite setting. I went with one of the most inexpensive hatchets I could find because I'm just experimenting to see if the hatchet is more useful than a large heavy knife for camping. The jury is still out on that issue, but I ended up using both the hatchet and knife for a raised garden-bed project in my yard that required me to create about 50 pointed wooden stakes 1-inch or more in diameter. The hatchet did a great job cutting rough points on my wooden poles, and the knife trimmed up the points nicely.) I didn't get any nicks on the blade edges of the hatchet or knife, even though I accidentally whacked a brick several times with the hatchet. I think this set would be suitable for a teenager or first time camper for general use. The hatchet is too small for heavy-duty use, and the knife is a little too thin to serve as a trusted survival knife. But I was pleasantly surprised at the durability of both. My only complaint pertains to the hatchet. I have very large hands, and the handle of the hatchet is very small. It was somewhat difficult to control the hatchet, especially while wearing gloves, because I just...

Amazon Customer: A little bit better than what I would expect for $20 honestly. I normally only buy nice expensive blades, tools & anything made out of metal because I don't like junk. But these are very sturdy and have already split wood by batoning with the knife & by splitting with the hatchet. Hammering the knife into a log sideways using the back of the hatchet to hammer it in and then using it to hold on while splitting with the hatchet works well and keeps your hand from accidentally getting hit. The hatchet is very small but has plenty of weight making each swing do more work for you. It is very small but it's in the dimensions here so if you're concerned with the size make sure you don't need something larger than an 11 inch overall hatchet. I need it for out back for my fire pit and it's all I needed. No sense in spending several times as much for something I'm only going to use a few times during the summer. It coming with a machete which feels like a decently sturdy knife was a good selling point in my opinion since again it is sturdy enough to do some minor batoning with or any other myriad of small outdoor tasks that might need a sharp edge. But since it also doubles as a...

Cloyd: I bought this set to gift the hatchet to a friends young son but I kept the "mini machete" for myself... More on it later.
I have one of these hatchets myself from a previous order and have used it for a couple of years now with no complaints. This is a good tool and does what it was made for such as chopping, splitting, and other general light camp chores. The all in one construction (rubber coated metal handle) means you don't have to worry about breaking a handle if you miss or get stup… Err, careless... yes, careless.
That said, I absolutely cringe when I see these young people on those videos splitting wood with their belt knives by beating on it with a chunk of wood.
Why do they risk damaging or breaking their knives when it may be the only fixed blade that they have with them... Do any of them even carry a stone to touch-up the edge after that abuse?
One of these little hatchets weighs next to nothing, can be slipped into a side pouch with one of those little folding saws and between the two you can process all of the wood most camps would need without risking your knife... You can even skin game with one if you have a stone with you and touch up the edge...

willyp00: At this price, it gets 5 stars. Got mine for $25 US. This is the second SCAX10 I've bought, just needed another. It cost me the same price a couple years ago.for just the hatchet. They threw in a big knife for the same price, so I bit.
The hatchet is the best small chopper for the price, by far. My older one bears the scars of abuse and multiple sharpenings, often with a file. Have put a razor edge on it a few times. It's just a great camp axe. Just don't hang it from the belt loop too much. Sheath is plenty good enough to throw it in a pack and not much more.
The knife is the big "if". Since it was essentially free, can't gripe. It's very hollow ground, so edge durability will be nil until you sharpen it to a scandi filet knife. Besides, it's made of the same 3Cr13 as the hatchet. At least it's easy to sharpen. It's the beater blade destined for destruction in the future.
I know the hatchet well. Can easily predict the knife. It"s worth every penny at $25. Buy the combo and give the knife to a responsible young teen who lives in the country. Or keep the knife around for things that would make you cringe to do with a better one.
