Title: Perfect size pack axe
Product review: The Fiskars 8-inch Hatchet is a great pack axe. It is very sharp right out of the box and has a nice balance. It is just the perfect size to put in or hang from a backpack. The only reason I gave it four instead of five stars is the ridiculous plastic carrier it comes in. The carrier is awkward to say the least and takes up more room than the hatchet itself. I suppose it makes the product easier to hang and display from a store rack. Fiskars could have included a simple nylon sheath with a belt loop. That would have been more practical than the huge plastic carrier. Also, they should have ground off the ridge on the opposite end of the blade so as to make it more useful as a striking tool. I did that myself, an easy fix if you happen to have a bench grinder. All in all though I am very pleased with my Fiskars 8-inch Hatchet.
