They\u2019re both very similar grades of medium carbon steel, and pretty common choices for axe and hatchet heads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly than the precise steel grade is the fact that the head of the NedFoss hatchet has been <strong>heat-treated to increase density and hardness<\/strong>. That makes it a very<strong> tough little splitter.<\/strong> It <strong>stays sharp<\/strong> through quite a bit of use, and with <strong>zero rolling along the edge.<\/strong> I\u2019ve noticed a couple of small chips that have appeared over time, but they\u2019re minimal and easy to file away when sharpening the hatchet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steel appears to be of <strong>uniform hardness <\/strong>throughout. I can\u2019t say with complete certainty, but I take that to mean that the head is all one piece, as opposed to a separate bit that is forge-welded to the blade.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1290px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_f75443-e1 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_f75443-e1\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_f75443-e1\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row kb-theme-content-width\"><style>.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_8dd5e8-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_8dd5e8-64\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle.jpg 800w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-wood-handle-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handle Wood &amp; Contour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I really like the fit and feel of the NedFoss hatchet handle.

You can chop effectively with either a one-handed or two-handed grip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wood is <strong>beech<\/strong>, which is a pretty common hatchet handle material. Beechwood is a step down from hickory, which is about <strong>the best wood you can get for axes and hatchets,<\/strong> but it\u2019s still good hard stuff. The wood has nice tight grain to it, and shows no signs of cracking after a lot of use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NedFoss 13\u201d hatchet comes with its <strong>handle totally unfinished<\/strong>, which I like because it gives you the option to finish and care for your handle however you like.

It\u2019s not what I would call a super high-end sheath, but it\u2019s not bad. It\u2019s made of rugged, full grain leather, and has rivets and snaps that look to be made out of brass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hatchet also comes with a <strong>sharpening puck<\/strong>, which is great. Buying a puck separately would easily run you $10 or more, and the one that came with my hatchet is every bit as good as the Lansky pucks that most folks use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hatchet came with a dual grit NedFoss sharpening puck (the blue one), which has <strong>400 fine grit and 250 course grit. <\/strong>NedFoss also makes a red puck and a gray puck, which each have different grit levels, and I gather that they have kind of thrown in with the hatchets at random, so you never quite know which one might be included.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_b9c958-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_b9c958-e8 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

13\u201d Hatchet is what it is.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a really <strong>good budget-friendly hatchet<\/strong> that pretty much clobbers most of its competition within its price range. It won\u2019t hold up against truly high-end German or Scandinavian hatchets, nor should anyone realistically expect it to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the price point, I don\u2019t have anything bad to say about this hatchet. It\u2019s a great <strong>camping or hiking axe<\/strong> that does any backcountry task you might want a hatchet to do. It\u2019s a <strong>great splitter and chopper<\/strong> that has a<strong> keen cutting edge, stays sharp through repeated use, <\/strong>and is <strong>easy to re-sharpen <\/strong>when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality.jpg 800w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ned-foss-hatchet-functionality-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Can you fell a tree with it? If you really had to, sure. This hatchet is better suited to <strong>lighter-duty work, but it\u2019s a tough little guy.<\/strong> Take care of it, and you can easily expect to get many years of service out of it. Oil the handle as needed, and clean and oil the head too <strong>(it\u2019s carbon steel, thus not corrosion resistant).&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s the best hatchet money can buy. There are some great ones in the $150 to $200 range that will basically outlive your grandchildren. But not everybody wants to drop that kind of cheddar on a hatchet, and I get that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So if you\u2019re looking for the best hatchet $50 can buy, you might have found it
