Tivoli 15 Inch Camping Axes and Hatchets, Bushcraft Axe for Wood Splitting and Kindling,Hand Forged Carbon Steel Chopping Axes Ash Wood Handle with Sheath for Camping and Survival

I’ll give this a five but it deserves a little less. When I got it the edge on the blade was awful and as dull as a butter knife. The angle was all wrong and in places the edge was thick and blunt. After about an hour plus with first a file then a stone I can now practically shave with it. This required lots of work, finesse and sharpening experience, something that lots of people don’t have an understanding of or practice with. This all being said the bit does seem to hold a very good edge when using it so the quality of steel is pretty good I’d say. GOOD LUCK!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This Tivoli Camping Hatchet Axe exceeded my expectations! The high carbon steel is razor-sharp, and the beech wood handle feels sturdy and comfortable. Perfect for camping, gardening, and wood splitting. Highly recommend for outdoor enthusiasts and DIYers! 👏💯💯

No it's nice. I just haven't quite had the chance to use it yet but I've had it out. Looked at it. It came fairly sharp. I'm going to have to touch it up just a little bit

Very dull upon arrival requiring long hours to sharpen. Beyond that seems well made.

Well made and surprisingly high quality and value, this Trivoi 15 inch ax is a delight to split kindling with and pound tent stakes with and such. Needed a little sharpening and some mineral oil on the real hardwood handle, but thats normal. Whats not normal is getting a value at this price point. Looks impressive, has a nice leather blade bonnet and will outlast me.

Although not a seasoned bushcrafter..yet. This axe seems like it will be decent enough to start the learning process.- axe head is dry and whatever the black end coating is is chipped in places and worn in others. Also some overspray of coating between the butt and the shoulder. UPDATE: The butt is slightly canted and the shape isn’t rectangular- not a smith but the quality of the head appears to be decent- axe will require sharpening right out of the box as it’s got an edge that would probably pinch more then cut- obviously its a mass produced head as the eye is offset slightly to the right and the bit points slightly (3-4 mm) to the right..- grind towards the toe on the right appears to have been ground inappropriately and instead of sloping gentry towards the bit.. flairs out slightly then back in.. not a deal breaker- the handle is dry and will require a light sanding as there are imperfections protruding from it. Will need some linseed or other oil to protect it.- the paracord will be replaced with something that could act as a fire starter if required.- the sheath is fine…probably won’t hold up long and also will require a protectantUPDATE: I have downgraded from original to a 2-star rating based on the quality of the head. I think there are probably better options at this price point that would be in better shape than this one. I had uploaded pictures but they didn’t take.

The first one I recieved was a hot mess - eye was badly off-center and crooked, the blade was crooked with the handle, the poll was terribly ground and uneven, the head was very poorly fitted to the handle (wood filler had been used to try to cover up the gaps, which is why a lot of people say that they get loose after a couple of uses), and it was about as sharp as a plastic butter knife. I don't particularly hold that part against it, sharpening a blade is just part of the game. But it was unfixable on the whole. I ordered a replacement, and the one I got back was better. The eye is still a little off center, but at least the whole thing is straight and much better fitted to the handle. The poll is still not square, but I think a little attention with a grinder could solve that. All In all, I'm going to have to think about whether the eye being off center is enough to be problematic or not, and whether or not I want to just send it back too and find something else. I get the feeling these are made more for decoration than actual usage, or are made for throwing vs actual bushcraft, camping, etc. I think these are a good examples of getting what you pay for, in both good and bad ways. I own higher quality axes and hatchets, but they cost significantly more. So overall, I'm going to give this three stars. It should probably be two for the inconsistency, but they did get me a replacement quickly and I may keep it.

it’s a hatchet actually made well keeps a blade very happy with it
