German Style Hatchet<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There\u2019s a lot to admire about the German Style Prandi Hatchet.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one of the larger hatchets in my arsenal, measuring 15 inches from eye to knob, and hits well above its weight class when it comes to price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For clarity\u2019s sake, the model I\u2019m reviewing here officially goes by serial number&nbsp;<strong>PRA0308TH.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Weight for It\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a hefty hatchet. The head weighs in at 800 grams (28 oz) which, just for comparison, is half a pound heavier than a standard 20 oz American hatchet. That extra weight makes this a powerful chopper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, a hatchet is less powerful than an axe because one must swing it one-handed, and because the shorter handle results in a shorter arc with reduced momentum and inertia. With that in mind, the heavier head is a serious advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_0e52a7-71 >

is always a good sign. It\u2019s not what I would call \u2018shaving sharp\u2019 but that\u2019s okay. Truthfully, a hatchet isn\u2019t really supposed to be sharpened razor-thin, and I found this one to be effective at splitting and chopping right away. After a day of putting the Prandi hatchet to the test, I spent a little time going over it with a whetstone, and brought it to an even keener edge than it came with.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of the Prandi German Style Hatchet is made of C45\/1045 carbon steel, which is a pretty common steel for <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/best-axes-for-splitting-wood\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"81\">axe and hatchet<\/a> heads. The head is tempered, hardened and beautifully polished. I don\u2019t know how exactly to explain this, but it&nbsp;<em>sounds<\/em>&nbsp;the way you want steel to sound when you flick your finger off the cheek of the blade.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Prandi-German-Style-Hatchet-Review-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em><strong>The Price is Right<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices fluctuate, but at the time of publication, you can get one of these hatchets on Amazon for $37.50.

If you opt not to pay extra for the sheath, the hatchet comes with a small rubber protector that just barely covers the cutting edge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing worth noting is the size of the handle, or more specifically, its thickness. The handle of the Prandi German Style Hatchet is quite thick, to the point that folks with smaller hands might have a hard time gripping it properly. I personally haven\u2019t had an issue with it, but I will say that it\u2019s quite a girthier handle than I\u2019m accustomed to. Just something worth noting.

substantial trees and limbs, and can be easily sharpened to a keener edge for finer tasks like carving, whittling and shaving tinder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This is an excellent camping hatchet, and I find it perfect for bushcraft.<\/strong>&nbsp;I will say that its weight can be a bit of a double-edged sword when it comes to transport. This isn\u2019t exactly the type of hatchet you\u2019ll want to toss in your <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/the-best-watches-for-hiking-and-backpacking\/\">backpack and take hiking<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I would also say that if you\u2019re looking for your first \u2018good\u2019 hatchet\u2014something that\u2019s a significant step up from what you can find at Wal-Mart\u2014then this is a really good choice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a great stepping stone between an entry-level hatchet and a truly high-end hatchet. Get a whetstone and learn how to use it, and this Prandi hatchet should be reliable for decades to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One final note to all you axe-throwing aficionados: the Prandi German Style Hatchet is very well suited to throwing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The curvature of the handle, the sharpness of the cutting edge and the V-shaped German style head all combine to make this a go-to for throwing, though some may prefer the somewhat lighter 600 gram Prandi model compared to this chunky 800 gram hatchet.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_6514e7-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_6514e7-ad > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
