Hatchets
Hatchet is a small axe with a short handle for use in one hand. Sometimes it is called a hand axe, mini axe, bushcraft axe or outdoor axe. It is an essential tool for activities such as camping, bushcraft, and gardening. These axes are lightweight and compact, making them easy to carry and store. The weight of a small ax typically ranges between 0.5 kg and 1 kg, with some mini axes weighing even less than 0.5 kg. Their length usually doesn't exceed 40 cm, allowing us to hold them with one hand.

Small axes are versatile tools that can be used for a huge variety of tasks, such as preparing firewood, splitting small pieces of wood, building shelters, or working around the house and garden. Their biggest advantage is their compact size and portability, making them ideal for carrying in a backpack.
