Husqvarna 13 in. Wooden Handle Hatchet

Perfect

I was looking for a solid no-frills hatchet with a classic aesthetic and this worked out great. It's surprisingly high quality for the price, and the head has a wonderful visual texture being not quite smooth or uniform. It's hand forged in Sweden apparently, how fancy. The handle is solid and has an attractive wood grain. It could probably use re-finishing but I honestly love the way it looks so I may just leave it. It's attached to the head firmly and securely. As other reviews have stated, the Husky logo is just printed on the wood surface instead of burnt on, which is a missed opportunity. Oh well, it sanded off in about 5 minutes and now it's devoid of branding except for the small elegant logo pressed into the metal head. This suits me just fine. It needed an edge when it arrived, but I was in a rush and ended up skipping it for my first camping trip. It still worked great, it was the only hatchet we had, so it saw a good amount of use splitting wood and cutting sticks. I put an edge on it when I got home and it works all the better, hasn't showed signs of needed a new one yet. Big bonus, it even comes with a nice leather blade cover that has a nice metal snap closure! The whole thing feels like a much higher-quality product than the price would suggest (Printed Husky logo notwithstanding) so pick it up if you're looking for a good hatchet that doesn't look like it came from a sci-fi Viking movie.

Awesome hatchet for the price. Lots of mod videos to clean up the bit.

Excelente calidad de acero, recomendable

I bought mine in 2019 for $54.99. Man, what a deal that was. Looks like the price has jumped up $20, but it's still an incredible value for your money. Husqvarna hatchets are primarily hand-forged in Sweden, often made by established Swedish axe manufacturers like Hultafors at Hults Bruk. I wanted something nicer than you'd find at your local hardware store and Wranglerstar turned me onto this one. Sheath is top notch thick leather with brass rivets. The handle shape is excellent. I think I'll use it as a template to make my next one.
