>>860079I have a Vaughan carpenter's hatchet. I like it a lot because of the tempered hammer on the back and the fact that it has a narrow concave blade.
BUT it's not heavy, and they aren't great for real chopping. They're good for craft and woodwork (building shelters and relatively light duty bushcraft). I bought an Estwing eventually and that's much, much better at chopping down saplings and splitting up wood.
I still use the Vaughan though for the more light duty jobs or if I need a hatchet/hammer.
Assuming you're in Mearca you should look into a made in USA brand, like Estwing or Vaughan. Just sayin' though.
