5.0 out of 5 stars Lexivon- Competitive and affordable!
First I’d like to mention that this is the first axe I’ve ever purchased. I’ve usually used my dads in the past but it was time to get my own. I purchased the 28-inch chopping axe. My main use for this has been splitting logs in my backyard so I can have fires in my fire pit over the summer. I will say that this axe has exceeded my expectations. It slices through and split seasoned/dry wood beautifully. If the wood isn’t fully seasoned/dry you might have to give it a few good hacks but it will eventually go. I’ve even hit the handle on accident a few times right below the axe head and I haven’t noticed any cracks or damage because of it. The feel of this axe is great in the hands and the rubber grip is comfortable. I really like the fiberglass composite handle it seems very sturdy and has taken a few accidental blows. The weight feels perfect, not too heavy and not too light. After you give the head a nice little sharpen it just eats through wood with a powerful swing. I’d definitely recommend sharpening it before using it the first time, it doesn’t come very sharp from the factory. It even comes with a handy head safety protector that has a handle on it. I paid around 31 dollars for this axe with a discount on Bolo and I will say this is a solid and affordable piece that is competitive with a Fiskars axe that costs 15-20 dollars more. Great value for money so far! I expect this to last many more summers. An avid and extremely experienced wood chopper/splitter may notice some differences/ have some gripes but I’d assume this will work and perform perfectly fine for most people.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very handy.
Excellent for splitting firewood !!
4.0 out of 5 stars NOT STAINLESS STEEL
The asian countries have re-invented their own stainless steel with high carbon content alloy. The problem is these alloys corrode. a true stainless steel does not hold a magnet very well if at all. Even 8-18 SS is magnetic but has a very low carbon content that weakly holds a magnet and does not corrode easily. I tried the hatchet and it does what it should. The edge retention is ok and it sharpens well. I needed a lightweight backpack hatchet so this will fill the bill. I will recycle the pos plastic sheath and use my 30yo gerber or fiskers sheath. My first extended hike will be in CO. 1st week of May. I'll see how it works. You would be surprised what could go wrong with simple things in the woods. I'll add more info in May.05/11/24 Back from Colorado. Hatchet preformed well. I purchased an Eastwing #17 sheath which fit well and was much better than the plastic one supplied with the axe. No issues with the blade chipping or cracking. I bring 2 to 6 inch diameter branches into camp. Chop partially into campfire size length and break them in a Y trunk tree. No problems on the plane or on my belt. A small hatchet like this is always uncomfortable to use but for backpacking that is the game. This hatchet is light and strong and it will be my backpacking axe until death. mine or the hatchet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great and affordable hatchet
I was looking for a hatchet size axe head that is light weight for hiking, and yet I want to use both hand. Originally I was set on Fiskar X11. Its quite hard to find and price is almost double, so I settled on the V18. I was told it is not made in USA, but at least its made in Taiwan, not China (for those don't know, there is a fine difference between the two!)First impression:Most of the other reviewers are right, the first impression isn't great, forging mark all over on the head, and the edge is dull, unlike the Fiskars which is ready to chop out of box. With a cheap kitchen wet stone, within minutes its gets sharp, after 30 minutes its paper cutting sharp. During the initial sharping, I skipped the stone and hit the edge , it rolled a little which gave me some doubts.Edge:Took it out to hack over some kindling, I was immediately impressed. I been using a 14 inch no name brand home depot hatchet for years, had to baton it to split. The V18 split logs into kindling effortlessly. Just to test the edge, I attempted to chop a log side ways and baton it, the edge held up very well. The instruction provided advise you not to baton this axe, so do it at your own risk.Handle:I use ranger band to increase grip for most of my wooden axe handle, but this handle is hollow and light weight, with good texture on it. I double I will need to put ranger band for this one. Time will tell if this handle will last.Sheath:A little wobbly, the plastic is quite flexible. I don't like it but it does the job.Overall:For the money, you can't go wrong with this. For the price of X11, I can get both V18 and V18S. Any axe and knife can roll after long period of use, a working axe need to sharpen regularly. In the coming weeks I have some projects coming up and this axe will be abused. I plan to update this review soon after. If it survived I will update the star rating, and maybe getting the V18S just for splitting firewood!
