That thing looks kinda cool to whack things with - and downright dangerous.

I'm a big fan of split wood. The hatchet I bring is 8 oz. heaver, including it's pretty leather sheath and covered metal grip. The only chopping it's ever asked to do though is removing small branches from deadfalls across portages and the occasional branch on 'not quite fully seasoned' firewood to be split later.

If you also bring a saw, hatchets serve really a more a wedge w/ a handle type function. Normally you set the wedge on what you want to split and whack the fat part with a bigger stick. This is thiner though so it may go through easier. I've seen people split small type stuff w/ big Bowie knives - also thiner than a hatchet. It works fine with smaller straight grain pieces, but those knives also have a flat, whackable edge. The shape of the presumed hitting surface on this doesn't look conducive to what I'm familiar with seeing and I expect that's also where solotripper was aiming.

If you end up giving it a try I'd love to hear a review. Hopefully a count, assuming you currently have ten fingers and a corresponding number of toes won't be necessary.  ;)
