Kings County Tools Camping Tools | Pickaroon, Hatchet or Axe | German Drop Forged Blade | Lightweight and Easy to Carry | Hickory Handle

It's light in the hand and has a broad edge, much more like a tomahawk than a hatchet. I got it for carving and it is great at it. It arrived sharp with a fine bevel and has held its edge so far. The hammer head on the back was a nice surface to tap on for the carving. The sheath does its job but is not fancy - I'll make a new one. I treated the handle with linseed oil, as it didn't appear to have much of a finish. And it throws beautifully - stuck it on my first throw. It will be my go-to hawk from now on.

Used the King Co hatchet that I recently got. The head is solid, a bit heavier than others because of its size. I sharpened up the edge just a bit to get the coating off and was able to easily shave down some branches I had collected. The mask it came with was cut by the blade during shipping most likely, so that'll be replaced. I didn't realize how thin the handle would be, so that'll get a wrap of some kind, but it is straight and solid feeling. Overall though, I'd say this is going to be a fun to use, light duty tool to use on trips and outdoors around the fires. It's a nice big blade with a hammer head on the rear. I'm not sure that I'd be able to use a thicker handle if I ever have to re haft it, but this head is going to last quite a long time. It's a heavy duty hatchet, not a splitting maul or demo sledge, but I think it will hold its own in the backyard and camping. In my opinion, it's a good price and I'm happy with the tool I received!

It’s perfect and more than worth the price. It’s aesthetically pleasing but also 100% functional. I’ve been using it the past few weeks around the yard, even chopped up a crap ton of firewood with it. Drove a bunch of nails with the hammer end (solid, didn’t pock it up at all). It’s put together nice and tight. I don’t feel worried about anything coming loose. Also came perfect amount of sharpened out of the box. I’m not an edge or grind snob or anything, so this tomahawk was perfect right out of the box.

My first order arrived; the tomahawk head wasn't attached to the handle. OK; these things happen and Amazon has free returns and free replacements. So I returned it for no charge, and a replacement was sent. The replacement tomahawk just arrived. This time the tomahawk head was attached, but noticeably loose. I shook it a few times: just shaking it in my hand- no strikes, no impacts, nothing other than just flexing my wrist back and forth a few times, and the head immediately slid down the handle. See the photos of each item I received. How does this happen? Fatal flaws: 1) The handle diameter tapers narrower from the top down (every other axe I've owned was the opposite). 2) There are no wedges on the top of the axe handle to expand it into the head (like every other wood handle axe I own), 3) Alternatively, there is no cap on the tomahawk, so there is nothing preventing it from sliding down. WTF were they thinking? Too bad, because the head and handle are well crafted, they just aren't well matched. I could potentially pound the head up onto the handle, and maybe it would hold (but probably not). Nonetheless, it isn't my responsibility to fix their sloppy design and workmanship. So the tomahawk is being returned for a refund. Save yourself the waste of time I went through.

Pickaroon is of good quality but the sheath/cover is not. Sheath provided is made of nylon/plastic material. Should be leather.

Rules

First off, I got this to throw. The head is very well made. Comes sharp. The cover is garbage. They should have left it out and focused on the handle. The handle. It's to small for the head. Not length, but diameter. Makes controlling the head difficult because the balance is off. Tiny stick handle. Heavy axe head. The head is not fit well. You will be banging it a lot to keep it snug. You can throw this, but it's kinda awkward with the tiny handle. Mine chipped pretty quickly. A very large piece can out from throwing. My other axes have never done this. This is probably because the handle is to small. For chopping and normal use this is a good hatchet. Throwing? Yeah, needs work. Gonna try taking some weight off mine and making a new handle as there is potential there.

Heavy head short handle, easy to replace the handle. With a longer handle you can cut down trees and limb them, easily split wood for fire or stove. Excellent camping tool.

Excelente herramienta de campo, aunque se siente un poco pesada para labores de larga duración. Buena calidad pero el costo es un poco elevado

Bien en cuanto al mango algo delgado para lo pesado de la cabeza pero bien funcional buen filo hay que aceptar el filo pero bien
