Overview
A double-edge blade of high speed steel does the cutting on the Silky NATA 555-18, which the seller calls a hatchet. The blade is paired with a rubber handle and works for left or right hands.
The reason to consider it is the two-edge blade and the material choice. The limitation is information, because the listing has no sheath, tooth or edge-profile details and a single sentence of description.
Who it's for
Campers and bush workers who prefer one tool with two edges will get the most from this hatchet, and left-handed users are covered. Buyers who need a very heavy chopper, or a model with documented sheath and warranty, should check other listings.
Pros and cons
- Double edge blade
- High speed steel blade
- Works in either hand
- Sheath and accessories not described
- Edge profile details missing
- Warranty terms not stated
- Only one sentence of description
Performance notes
Two edges let you switch faces without turning the tool around. High speed steel in the blade sets edge retention, and the rubber handle is what you grip. The weight carries each swing, and the listing gives overall length.
