I used this hatchet a lot during my last camping trip. I didn't have small wood to start the fire so I got the hang of chopping the size I needed out of the big logs. The little stone to sharpen was very handy and I was quite happy about the hammer. Since it's an "assembly" hatchet, the only annoying thing is that you have to tightened the handle once in a while because it gets unscrewed. the The knife/saw is a bit flimsy, but I didn't care...
