Council Tool Camp Carver Hatchet Field Review

This is an in depth review of the Council Tool Camp Carver Hatchet. This little hatchet has a great looking design that really stood out to me when I first saw it. The design is functional not just for show. • I am glad to see that we have a choice for a US made production premium axe to choose from. Council Tool seems to really be stepping up to make a strong showing. I support that and that is one reason why I chose to purchase another of their axes along with the fact that it is a quality tool....and I have a slight axe addiction. • I have had mine on several outings from day hikes to multi night winter camping trips. It has done very well. I did initially redefine the edge a little as I cut a lot of downed pine for firewood. Cutting standing dead wood on public land requires a permit in my state so the best way to get dry wood is to find downed trees and cut the vertical branches. These downed trees are often wind blown or fire kill and sometimes thinned by forest workers. The tree tends to pump pitch into the branches and creates loads of pitch-wood that can be like cutting into epoxy or plastic. For this reason most of my axes, hatchets, hawks etc have a robust semi convex edge on them. • The 5160 steel on both of my Council Woodcraft axes has proven very resilient and tough. It tends to hold an edge very well and is easy to sharpen. The hardened poll holds up well to abuse from simple driving tent stakes to smashing rocks to get chunks to use for steel striker fire kits. • As stated on Council Tool website most of their tools are going to be available through distributors only and from what I have seen the Camp Carver seems to be made in smaller quantity runs. This means it can be a little harder to find in stock at all times. It is easy to pick a distributor/retailer and preorder to get on the waiting list though, most wait times seem to be fairly short. ( if you have ever bought custom extremely short compared) I wouldnt be put off by this I think it is an attempt to keep a better handle on quality control and better response if you have issues. • I purchased mine through a retailer on Amazon the seller was Imagine Gear who was a great seller, I believe Wiseman Trading and supply has them in stock regularly as well and I have had good dealings through them as well. I am not including links because more often than not they are sold out or individuals are price gouging high demand items. • Council Tool Website link:http://counciltool.com/shop/wood-craf... • Here are the specs as per Council Tools Website : • 5160 steel • 16 Premium hickory handle • 26oz head weight • 25-28 deg. flat grind bit bevels • 4 bit length • 15.75 nominal overall length • hardened poll • 90 deg spine • Large hatchet eye • bearded blade • Welted leather mask • #counciltool #woodcraftcampcarver
