This video could have been done three years ago this is probably the most educated review possible on this hatchet. I have had the time to compare this to the Hults Bruk Aneby, the Council Tool Woodcraft Pack Axe and Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe. My opinion of order Best to worst is definitively: 1) Dirigo Belt Axe. 2) Council Tool Woodcraft Pack Axe. 3) Hults Bruk Aneby. and a very distant last place 4) Gransfors Bruk Small Forest Axe.

A wedge pattern hatchet like this would have to be about the ideal I reckon. Cool that your kids enjoy the outdoors so much. Good stuff.👍👍🪓
The wedge pattern is an absolute beast.
Always had my eye on the Allagash cruiser. The Dirigo looks like a perfect fireside / camp axe.
Same here. They'd make a good pair
It is a perfect shape. Best pattern in my opinion
Both the Brant & Cochran Cruiser and Dirigo have a hardened poll. Pretty much anything B&C has released as far as I know has the hardened poll. Confirmed with them and they mention it on their website. Search “HOW WE MAKE B&C AXES” and you’ll get directed to their website page that describes the process to make them.
“Tempering means we’ll gradually warm the axe head to about 450 degrees, then slowly let it cool. This process will give the entire axe a Rockwell hardness of 56 to 58. We harden the entire axe to allow the poll to be used for other purposes, like driving in wedges or tent stakes. The eye, on the other hand, is softened a bit so it can absorb shock when being used.”
Well if those 2 have a hardened pole then all of the single bit axes they released have a hardened pole because they just have the 3
