How does it compare to the hatchet and small forest axe (both of which I have)? Is it more than just an in-between size?

It is heavier, I would suspect meant more for hewing & limbing & timber mortising than just playing around. I like it even though it has 'weight' to it.

Cannot answer this accurately but I put it through my hatchets head and had to sand it flat. My hatchet type is a nordlund. It wasn't a really deep eye. I really like the handle, nice piece of wood and a bit longer than my old one. helped me repurpose an old camp hatchet I always liked on the cheap.

I learned with a double bit hatchet. Some promo item i got from the NRA that i didn't mind if it got wrecked, which it did. Anything that will give you more than one surface to stick it with is good because you won't have to chase it as much and soothes your ego because your sticking more than 1/10. SOG makes one designed for throwing. I don't know what the name is even though I have one, but it has this well placed upturned spike that enables it to stick more often than not. It might be called the blue max or the black max. If you can find one, go with that.

How's your coordination? If you are coordinated enough to swing an axe accurately, the 36" provides a lot more leverage. Just stand further away from your objective. If you have good upper body strength perhaps the 28" will suffice.

It is a small axe good for small jobs can chop trees and branches 5 inch in diameter. Light weight and be hidden in small bags made of 420 steel easy to sharpen. May be a back up axe i use mainly in butchering wild pig no problem chopping the ribs, head and knuckles or split the pelvis if it work in pigs it think it can handle deer. The handles a made g 10 so even when my hands are wet or blood it will not slip to see it in action check out meateater the host steave rinella use ot as his main axe in butchering . I think it has a life time warranty

This is a small light-weight hatchet that can be wielded one-handed. I suggest you get two, one for each hand, so you can go at it Ninja style.

I imagine huqvarna dealerships have them, but I didn't like the one that came with my carpenters axe. As soon as mine arrived, I tossed the original sheath in a drawer. If your hatchet is the same size as my carpenters axe, I'll give you this one. I made my own, I've been doing leather work for a while and I made a more substantial one. I could make you a better one too if you like. Stay in touch if you're interested at: offroadutah@hotmail.com

Hello. Not sure, it's a little on the small side. Dosn't fit the hatchet I intended to use it on. Check the dementions. Best regards Birgir.

With the head weight and handle length on the chogan, it's probably the better chopper. At least as compared to either a carpenter's hatchet or a BSA style camping hatchet.

The knife works great depending on your skill level would i split logs with it no way it feather strips well Good for carving skinning small game and many other small chores full tang is allways better but mora is well known for reliability i prefer use of an axe over a knife anyday for shelter and fire wood building a small hatchet and my mora and the trail ahead

The blade is designed for slicing and stabbing. So small green saplings will cut but an axe will split firewood loads better. Blade holds an edge well, good deep tang too

The trail hawk has a small blade area so it isn't good for large cutting jobs. But I find that it is a perfect tool for hiking and camping if you don't need to cut down large to medium sized trees. It's great for de-limbing a tree and other odd jobs. I have heavily mod-ed my hawk and I'm OCD about my edges. I sharpened mine and it is a great cutter. I enjoy carrying mine with me on my trips out to the woods.

I've not used it for a hatchet but lots of other garden tools. It worked great for everything I've tried so far. I watched some videos on u tube of people using it before I purchased it.

A little less than 3 lb. I brought it on a recent hike on the AT and used it several times and was worth the carry. My buddy has a similar Gerber that he brought...few whacks on a standing dead tree about 6" thick, and we switched to mine. The thick blade makes it significantly better; the defining feature in my opinion. Also, try a 550 cord loop on the handle and hold it so only a couple fingers are on the handle and it will chop like a hatchet.

I have had it for about a year now and split wood, dug trenches, hammered tent spikes down, and had a lot of fun just throwing it at trees. Even with all that beating it is still solid. I love this little axe.

Yes it is, on all counts. It looks small but it has enough weight to be effective, is extremely sharp and holds an edge well. I keep a hatchet for most of my small jobs for farm work but I keep the SOG in my camp/bug-out pack due to the smaller size. I have no reservations about using it in a survival situation. I will recommend using thick gloves or wrapping the handle in paracord for extended use as it isn't forgiving and doesn't completely cover the tang.

They are extremely similar if not identical, I have the Grizzly version, paid the same price is the Fox is listed at. The vise is solid and worthy...
