FAQs

What are hatchets used for?

A hatchet is a versatile striking tool featuring a sharp blade on one side and a hammerhead on the other. Designed for single-handed use, it serves various purposes, often substituting for tasks that would typically require a pocket knife. In addition to chopping, splitting and wood carving, hatchets are handy for tasks like snapping off dry branches, felling small trees and debarking trees.

What’s the difference between an axe and a hatchet?

An axe and a hatchet differ primarily in size and application. Hatchets are designed for tasks that require one-handed operation, making them ideal for small-scale chopping in confined spaces. In contrast, an axe is a larger tool, often wielded with both hands, and is suitable for more substantial tasks such as felling trees. While a hatchet is versatile for tasks like snapping off dry branches, an axe is generally employed for heavier duty applications.

Should axes and hatchets be sharpened?

Absolutely, maintaining a sharp edge on both axes and hatchets is crucial for their safe and effective use. While the best steel may dull over time, regular sharpening ensures that the tool remains pointed, free of nicks and capable of withstanding repeated blunt force swings. It's important to note that axes don't necessarily need to be razor-sharp, as an overly sharp edge can be more prone to chipping. Instead, the goal is to keep the blade sharp enough to efficiently slice through wood fibres during use.
