Box Contains 1 x Hatchet Review: GREAT VALUE CAMP AXE - Very happy with this well made compact camping / Bushcraft axe. Arrived with an even, adequately sharp, edge. 15 minutes with an oil stone and it is now RAZOR sharp. No re-profile required. Just touched up factory edge. Perfect for chopping kindling, finer cutting, feathering etc. Summary: delighted and well impressed with quality and performance for budget price. Now needs a lanyard hole and a nice leather wrist loop. Review: Looks cool and works - This is my van ax useful for dismembering things... Like twigs and sticks for the camp fire. Should be noted that it's usable when it arrives but could benefit from a sharpen. Handle is good quality head also seems good.. I can't vouch for how long it will take to cut a tree down but for splitting small firewood it's bang on.. not to heavy not to light.. an nice little chopper ## Features - Fully forged, hardened and annealed - With hickory handle - Permanent support for garden and forestry work - Model number: 3006062019 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DW5QRYM | | Best Sellers Rank | 108,063 in Garden ( See Top 100 in Garden ) 89 in Gardening Axes | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Length | 6 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Ruthe | | Brand Name | Ruthe | | Colour | brown | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,161 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04014691234695, 04016671029284 | | Handle Material | Hickory Wood | | Handle material | Hickory Wood | | Head Type | Skog | | Head Weight | 480 Grams | | Head type | Skog | | Included Components | Components included | | Item Dimensions L x W | 25L x 152W millimetres | | Item Type Name | Hatchet with Hickory Handle | | Item Weight | 0.8 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.8 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Ruthe | | Manufacturer Part Number | 03010062019 | | Model Number | 03010062019 | | Product dimensions | 25L x 152W millimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Forestry work | | Style Name | Classic | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ruthe - **Colour:** brown - **Handle material:** Hickory Wood - **Head type:** Skog - **Product dimensions:** 25L x 152W millimetres ## Images ![VPA/GS Hatchet with Hickory Handle, Silver/Beige, 600 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LmYn-EJ4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this axe any good for throwing** A: I have not thrown this hatchet, however the handle is light and the head is of good quality steel and the blade and edges are hard and remain sharp after repeated use. I believe this item would throw well with practice and one could, in my personal opinion, defend a well provisioned fort or mountain stronghold with it should the need arise. While I simply chop firewood with this item, I am confident that with a sufficient quantity of these one could hold out indefinitely in a well provisioned fortified location, if their courage holds and re-enforcements arrive in time. **Q: Is there any blade cover or belt hook** A: There should be a rubber cover for the blade, but i dont no if anyone makes a proper cover!! **Q: Does this axe cone with any sheath** A: No! Just an edge protector for the blade, but that’s not suitable as a sheath. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT VALUE CAMP AXE *by J***D on 4 December 2024* Very happy with this well made compact camping / Bushcraft axe.

Heavier than a hatchet. *by L***C on 7 May 2020* This axe is supplied blunt and you need to sharpen it. The axe is well made, with a longer shaft and a heavier head than a hatchet. It is still small enough for fine work once it is sharpened. So, sharpening... almost any work axe I see sold these days is blunt. The head is an excellent shape though and takes an edge well. A word of warning, it is a decently hard carbon steel, and so sharpening is hard work. Best to start with a bench grinder (use the fine wheel and follow the bevelled cutting edge for the angle. Do not do more than reasonably quick passes along the curve of the blade, or it will heat and lose the temper. Once you have an even decent-ish edge on it, use a sharpening puck in a circular motion to polish to a sharp, smooth edge. It took me about 5 minutes on the grind wheel and then put on a movie and set to with the puck. End result, one beautifully sharp axe. Yes, it takes some effort to get this axe where you want it, however almost everything else is sold blunt, so expect to have to put in a little time and effort. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ruthe VPA/GS Hatchet with Hickory Handle, Silver/Beige, 600 g - DDF IohEF Axe/Hatchet Sharpening Stone 180/320 Grit, Professional Garden Tool/Lawnmower Blade Sharpener, Axe Sharpener with Portable Bag, for Garden Tools, Chisels, Axes, Secateurs, Pruner etc - Hatchet Head Sheath Holster, Hatchet Cover for 1-1/4lb Axe, Black Ax Head Sheath Holster Double Snap Hatchet Blade Protector for Outdoor Hiking Outdoor Work Axe Cover --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/85883614-vpa-gs-hatchet-with-hickory-handle-silver-beige-600-g](https://www.desertcart.it/products/85883614-vpa-gs-hatchet-with-hickory-handle-silver-beige-600-g) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
