Title: Cast, not forged, head is fragile if hammered
Review: This small hatchet seems to have a lot going for it. I liked the compact size, great sharp edge, and a pretty decent sheath. I took it out back to my fire pit and it cut well. Then I struck the back of the hatchet (with a different hatchet I was testing) to split a half a log. After about three strikes I discovered that this hatchet head is cast metal, not forged as anyone would expect. The casting narrows where the handle molding covers the head, and it had snapped right in two. This was a first for me dealing with any axe or hatchet.
