Robusta ed affilata

Das Beil ist super scharf und macht einen sehr robusten Eindruck. Klare Kaufempfehlung. Kann in jedem Rucksack Platz finden. Der Klingenschutz ist auch sehr sicher.

Well happy with this axe, Sorry for the PUNN - but I saw this axe on you tube and decided to buy it then and there, I was not disappointed, it goes through wood like nothing I have used before, I threw my Hultafors axe out also.

Very happy with this puchase!

Yes! I did buy the replacement hatchet as I wanted to wrap the handle with Safety Orange 750 Paracord. First thing, this is a BEAST of a hatchet. 1/4 inch thick from the butt of the handle to the top of the blade end. It is hefty and sharp right from the package. When I saw the YouTube review, I knew this was going to replace my camp hatchet immediately. The monoblade has gaps in the handle's edges that is perfect to fill with the Paracord handle. Look at that image and you'll understand what I mean. Secondly, this is a Silky. Most bushcrafters and preppers rely on Silky saws when they go out to the woods to do their thing. Silky is made in Japan and the Japanese know their blades. It's a good idea to wear protective gloves when handling this hatchet. Safety first.Only caveat I have is this does not come with a sheath. Either make your own or buy the Silky ONO 568-12 and get the complete hatchet. Either way, you will not go wrong.

Wow. Incredible Japanese steel, comfortable handle, no risk of breaking the head off, this is the ultimate packable camping hatchet. I had previously purchased the Mora Outdoor hatchet, which is terrible, and the Silky NATA, which is a great brush chopper and kindling splitter, but not great for woodworking, the blade is just too long and heavy for carving. Yes, for the price I spent on the wrong hatchets I could have a Gransfors, but I like Japanese steel and Silky saws, and I love the low pack profile and weight. This isn't old school looking, but it is heirloom quality, and I appreciate innovative, tasteful design. Old is good in my book, but not necessarily better. This hatchet purchased at $80 (price fluctuates a lot I've noticed) is an excellent value, you'll spend at least $20 more on a high end Swedish hatchet, which will be bulkier and require more upkeep than this cutting machine, for marginally better performance if at all. If there comes a time that the handle wears out (they're removable and supposed to be replaceable but I've never seen them sold anywhere online), you could wrap it with cord or leather. That said, the handle it comes with (the same handle as the NATA by the way) offers 2 hand positions for precision or aggressive chopping, and holding it at the head for slicing and woodworking is a pleasure. It really is a marvel of simple design and balance.I tried the Nata after a few miserable trips with the Mora. I wish I had gone with the ONO instead, it is the better camping tool, the Nata is close but a few niggling complaints. As mentioned, the balance of the Nata is not good for woodworking and shaping. No fault of the tool, the blade is long and heavy, gravity's a b****. The blade was not as sharp as the ONO, and has an almost 45degree microbevel (90degree inclusive, I'm not kidding, it's sharp but very stout, not sure if it's intentional or a bad day at the factory but it's a bad slicer right out of the box) I slightly reprofiled and sharpened and it's better now, but out of the box, the ONO is still the better slicer even after some work on the NATA blade (which is tricky in itself, it's big and has a slight curve to it near the ends). The edge on the ONO is visibly more acute, it would take a while to get the Nata there, this steel is no joke.The ONO sheath is excellent. Even with it on, the head is thinner than the handle. The NATA sheath is simply not intended to be put in a pack, I just made a heavy cloth roll for it, problem solved, but not that elegant.So if you have brush to clear, a slight edge goes to the NATA, but that's about it. Really the only downside to the ONO is its small blade (and it's over 4 inches, which is actually pretty big for a hatchet), it's every bit as good a brush chopper as the Nata but you of course need to be more accurate, and you won't cut as wide a swath. If you're beating through a jungle that could apply. The ONO is a better precision pruner, I've been disappointed how crudely the double beveled Nata cuts through small green branches, but again, that's not the exact intention of the tool. The Nata is a 4 star tool, this ONO is a 5 plus.
