Condor Greenland Pattern Hatchet Review

A preview of the Condor Greenland Pattern Hatchet review for $38. A very reasonable "wetterlings-style" axe/hatchet for a very affordable price. Appears to be a great tool for the cost. I'll update you once I've used it more.

I like the look - and price - of these Condor axes. Thanks for the look. I'll have to pick one up!

@TheLateBoyScout The price is unbeatable from what I've seen. It's not quite my Wetterlings (but few axes are) Very usable hatchet for the money

Funny that Harbor Freight used to carry Helko hatchets made in Germany. I bought one several years ago but haven't seen them again, I believe they still carry the fireman's axe by Helko, which is between a hand hatchet and a felling axe and has the claw intead of a regular poll. I think I will get one, cut the claw off and polish the poll smooth. It would make a nice camp light axe or heavy hatchet (?) Besides at HFT you can pick the ones that are properly edge-handle aligned. German made!

@chapiit08 I haven't been to HF in a long time. I might do a low cost prepping vid series from there at some point if my Dollar Tree Kit works out (yeah it's ghetto but kinda fun)

The cilinder secondary wedge originated in the USA. Plumb has been using them in their engineers hammers for almost 30 years now. The hatchet looks properly wedged, with the primary wedge being wooden, possibly softer than the handle the way it has to be, and the secondary wedge metal.

@chapiit08 Ahh a "cylinder wedge" thanks for the info. I just didn't know what I was looking at

@Rasenkrieger I'll try to give the Hatchet a good workout before the next review. Thanks for the post

I have the Bushcraft knife and dislike the steel for poor edgeholding capabilities. Use it hard and please give feedback how it turns out

@econnofoot I've just never seen the "Ring" style before. I'll need to check into it. . .I'm just overly cautious about something I've never seen before. Not sure if it's a European or Central American (as the axe is a European pattern but made in El Salvador).
