I literally have split a ½ a cord of firewood ...

I literally have split a ½ a cord of firewood ...
I literally have split a ½ a cord of firewood with this Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet since my purchase back on 12-2016. The largest piece of firewood I have split with the Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet is 3 to 5 inches round at approximately 18 inches long. Some hardwoods and Fir in a variety of different shapes. The blade is still razor sharp though the blade does need a touch up when I missed a piece of wood I was splitting. I have pounded, split wood down the middle, and slammed this Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet up and down on a chopping block until the wood would split and still the Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet has not buckled under continuous, vigorous usage. Will see down the road if the Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet holds up as I am constantly splitting firewood.I am usually skeptical about making my purchases on line because you lose the tangibility of actually seeing that product in your hand. Before writing a review for a product, I methodically road test that product, over a period of time. My basses for my purchases on Amazon is the product “brand”, “my application requirement” and I place 60% of my purchase on the product reviews.

Very well designed. Lightweight, I've put this thing through a lot of abuse and the handle hasn't cracked or broken anywhere. Good for splitting small firewood like 3.5" or less in diameter. Very sharp blade, can be used as a knife if you're careful. Not too thrilled about the blade cover, it's bulky. I'll probably replace it with a leather cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great lil backpack camping extra
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021
Verified Purchase
I bought this leading into a week long bike/canoe trip that I did and as such packing size and weight were my biggest determining factors when comparing to other hatchets. I was slightly teased by my group initially for feeling the need to bring a hatchet...knives were plenty enough....blah blah blah. Come time to actually make the fires for the night however this hatchet was used every night primarily to create shavings/fire starter sized wood. Most seemed to enjoy having this around and I believe one may have bought this once the trip was over.

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.

The axe feels good and the balance is fine. I use it to split small diameter, short (less than 6" and no more than 12" long) pieces of wood. The blade is sharp but it does not split the wood that easily. Takes quite a bit of effort to split the wood, requiring 4 to 5 blows. Even the driest wood had the same issues.

Descripción errónea: no pesa 480 gramos como pone aquí en Amazon (en la web del fabricante pone 479,1 gramos que también es erróneo).

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid little axe :)
Reviewed in Canada on August 21, 2019
Style: Hatchet- 17.5 in.Verified Purchase
The 17” is the perfect length I found for backpacking, long enough to cut through a smaller dead tree for wood, and great for splitting. This came very sharp, and is super light. It did come with a cover for the head so it protects the blade. Metal is by fiskar which is great. The only thing I didn’t like is the handle is hollow and uncovered so dirt easily got up in the handle.. but that’s just not picking at this point. Worth the money for sure. Get a sharpening puck or something as it doesn’t come with one
