Well made
Very Durable
Since that trip I have taken it on a handful of other backpack related trips and have enjoyed having it each time. The blade itself whether it is the coating or shape sticks less than other hatchets I've used so that was definitely a plus. The arm does feel a little short, which really aided in working with the wood close up...on 1 knee or sitting in a camp chair, you didn't need a large swing. It also worked well to flip around and hammer tent posts into tough ground. It did feel a little short to do larger swings however.
The arm is hollow and light but has held up well. If I had a car or something with a lot of storage space I may lean towards something larger/heavier but I'd also not need to screw around starting a fire too much either. For the space and weight I don't know if you could find better.

Sin la funda, pesa 565,6 gramos. Con la funda, pesa 611,7 gramos.
Si es para llevar de acampada, senderismo, etc. donde el peso importa, por este rango de precio y de las mismas medidas, recomiendo una Lexivon V9 que pesa sólo 557,8 gramos sin funda y 567,7 gramos con la funda compacta (la cual ni la Gerber ni la Fiskars traen). Incluso se puede considerar una Lexivon V10 que pesa un poco más pero es algo más larga.
Por cierto, por si alguien siente curiosidad, las fundas compacta de la Lexivon V9 y de la V10 no encajan ni en la Gerber ni en las Fiskar X5, X7, X10, etc.
Al final voy a tener que hacerme con una Gränsfors Small Hatchet #410 ("Mini hatchet"), que pesa menos (unos 350 gramos) y mide más (unos 26 centímetros). Pero es mucho más cara.
