Last weekend when my wife asked that I cut down a tree that had lost the top 1/2 of it's branches in a recent storm I grabbed this hatchet to do the job. I realize it's not an Axe, but the tree that I was cutting down was roughly 8 inches at the base and only about 25 feet tall. While still alive it was covered with vines, didn't look very healthy and was shading part of our garden. It did take a few minutes to cut through the base to drop the tree. I laid it between our fence and another tree and was glad that this hatched provided me with the control to cut a notch with enough precision that I was able to place it in the three foot gap between them. Once down, I used the stump and a cutting block and cut off all the limbs and then split them into two foot sections. The hatchet was excellent for this. I placed limbs up to 2 inches in diameter and with one quick swing the were cut in two. I was surprised at how the weight and sharpness of this hatchet made quick work of this task compared to sawing them off or using another tool. After cutting the limbs I stripped the bark of the 20 foot section of the tree for use in another project. When choked up this axe can perform some very knife like tasks which was also a surprise. The coating was mostly pristine after this 45 minute test of the axe. There was only one slide scratch along the face of the blade. I checked the sharpness compared to unboxing and to my surprise it was just as sharp with no dulling, no edge rolling and no chipping.
My only concern long term is how the axe head is enclosed within the polymer handle. If struck hard enough I am concerned that it might break and cause the axe head to become loose. After using it and striking the polymer a few times, my concern for this has been greatly reduced. I believe it's strong enough to hold up over the long term but will post a follow up if it doesn't.
I purchased this item and received nothing for this review. In fact I was so impressed that I've recommended it to a few friends and have sold at least three more based on my description of it's performance.
I took it camping this last weekend to try it out. It came out of the box sharp and ready to use, and the sharpening stone that comes with it is a bit soft but I think it kind of helps put a nice edge on it. I used the stone after a few strikes and got the edge even sharper than it had come, pretty quickly. It feels well built, stood up to a weekend of chopping all different hardness of wood.
The large ferro rod that comes with it works perfectly and is a nice size compared to ferro rods that come with "survival" gear. Most of those smaller ferro rods are really only good for dire situations. The rod that comes with this axe (pull the string at the bottom of the hatchet handle) is nice size (good for when you need to use the axe to spark it) and reminds me of the rods you would buy separately.
The rubberized handle makes this axe very comfortable to use, especially with a nice pair of fingerless gloves. It's big enough to use as an axe when needed, small enough to carry in your pack for an everyday hatchet, and strong enough for whatever you may have to put it through.
If you are looking for a hatchet that you'll need for daily use, this might not be the best option. Not because it doesn't hold up well, but because it doesn't seem to be made for such use. It will last much longer and be put to better use for those who need it for occasions (camping, hunting, backpacking, etc).
As for me, I love it and it's perfect for what I need it for. I'll update after a few more uses.
The major complaint is with the sheath. For starters, it's a total pain to both remove and insert the axe. You have to do it juuust right or else the blade won't go in or come out. And last, as you can see by the pictures, the axe shifts around in the sheath. In fact, the axe naturally wants to lay in the sheath in such a way so that tha tip of the blade sticks out above the sheath, which is super dangerous. I could easily cut our gouge myself at worst. And at best, could tear my shirt or other gear. Several times my arm would catch the blade. I'm lucky I didn't cut myself.
So, all in all, be prepared to make your own sheath. Schrade really should fix this design. It's a liability.

The hatchet comes very sharp and has a sharpening puck with a fine and coarse grit. The flint stick is VERY secure in the handle - there is no way I could get it to come loose while using the hatchet, period. And the flint stick is large and will last a long time. The knurled hammer end is great for putting in tent pegs, heck if you wash the thing you can use it as a meat tenderizer. In actual use I think you too will prefer it over most hatchets where the hammer end is smooth.
This hatchet is on the heavier end if one is going on a long hike, but the way I see it is that the longer the hike the greater the risks in the bush/mountains which means you need to have a very good firewood processing tool, and nothing will beat this Shrade SCAXE2L. Do a search for reviews on it on Youtube and you will see how great it is.
Zum Campen und für kleine Gärten sehr zu empfehlen. Für professionelle Holzfäller gibt es besser alternativen denk ich.
