Schrade Delta Class Bedrock Camp Axe with 3Cr13 Stainless Steel Head for Outdoor Survival

I purchased both the Scax10 & Fiskars X7 hatchets based upon favorable reviews. Both could not be more different. The Scax10 felt balanced, comfortable to hold and seemed natural in my hand. The Fiskar felt larger, awkward and top heavy due to the straight, hollow handle. Despite great performance reviews, I returned the Fiskar. The Scax10 is on the smaller side, very light and therefore, extremely easy to control-great attributes for a superb bush craft tool. It’s full tang construction and Rhino-lining finish means it would be durable under hard use. The 3” blade came nearly razor sharp. This hatchet feels extremely good to hold/wield that it will be my new edc hatchet for every hike and camping trip from now on!

An amazing little piece of equipment! My son gifted me one, and I'm very pleased. It's light enough so my arthritic hands don't object to using it, but sturdy enough to make short work of smaller wood (6" or under); it's small enough to stow easily in a backpack, the blade holds an edge really well and the balance is excellent. My only complaint is the blade mask / sheath - the snap is very difficult to close, and gets in the way when you try to cover the blade.

Company, durable and very sharp, excellent quality.

Sharp, blunt end is great for pounding stakes. Blade comes a little too sharp, I prefer a higher angle edge. Chips easy, but easy to sharpen. It’s a bargain at this price for this utility and durability.

This axe is very sharp. The blade came through the sheath between the top two rivets when I was putting it on the axe and cut my finger, be careful.

This thing is perfect for camp and small chores around a camp fire , at Hm etc , well balanced and has a good grip , very sharp out of the box

Really nice hatchet. Very very sharp. Light weight. Very manageable to handle. Well worth the money.

Took it camping with the boys. Seems to work like I needed it to. If you’re expecting to be a lumberjack with it think again. It will do the job you need it to do to get that fire started.

Will not rust in the emergency bag, but the edge will roll if used to cross-cut hardwood and will need to be re-sharpened.

This axe is really small, you see the measurements on the description but till you get it and hold it, you don't realize just how small it is. That is not a bad thing for my use, it gets tucked into my backpack so it does not take a lot of room. For doing fire prep around the camp, it is perfect. I would not spend an afternoon processing wood but for camping trips, it is fine. I did sharpen it when I got it but it was sharp already, I just like my cutting tools to be crazy sharp.
