Make sure you complete a review on it after a while. Attractive little tool!

Nice hatchet, but if you can do without the green paint and the leather sheath, it's nothing more than a Vaughan carpenter's hatchet with some paint on it; about $25.

The green paint makes it faster.

I doubt the Vaughan is manufactured in the United States. The extra cash is sound of mind, and wont fuel Communist China. I know of less expensive hatchets manufactured in the US, but none have the nail puller(not that I would use that).

o.o I knew this... I have been hunting for a quality hatchet made in USA for a while. I discounted it, because it was made in Illinois. HardCore Hammers makes a hatchet in Illinois as well for about the pricepoint of the Vaughan. I think the extra cost is that it is being imported into Canada, and probably made in small runs.

I am going with http://www.counciltool.com/product.asp?pg=product&item=22BR next month. I have both a felling axe, and splitting maul, both of which work very well.

Contrary to popular belief, Illinois is technically part of the United States (except East St Louis) and citizens there can even run for POTUS if they are so inclined.

I've never regretted buying a high end tool.

Talk to any carpenter who knows his tools and ask him what kind of hammer he would buy if he wanted "high end." A vast majority will tell you Vaughan or Estwing. Both top quality, both made in the USA.

Since Treeline apparently monitors these forums, I would challenge them to assure me this is NOT made by Vaughan. Or if it is, what have they done to improve it so much it is worth nearly 4 times what a Vaughan costs.

By the way, the green paint doesn't make it faster.

The green paint makes it SHARPER...

Faster on the backswing, sharper on the stroke. Vast improvement.
I believe it's a vintage Land Rover Series 2 Green. So watch for rust.

To any true Wisconsinite, the flatlands, and the things that inhabit them, are not real... Except when they fly up our roads at 90mph and act like jackholes all around.
