>>2497878I've had a fiskars hatchet for the last 5 years or so. It's done everything I wanted and some more on top. My wife got it in her head to use a rock as a chopping block at one point, and chopped several branches before I saw what she was doing.
The metal was a little dinged up on one side. It took me a few hours to re-sharpen the thing and fix the edge. All things considered, good hatchet, has withstood use by a woman... so it has some pretty high quality steel in there.
