For the last 20 years I've been using a $5 Big Lots piece of garbage that holds an edge about as good as plastic silverware, so I've decided it's time to upgrade. I'm not going to be hatcheting professionally, so I want to keep the price reasonable. So far, I've narrowed it to: 1. The Fiskars X7 2. Estwing 14" Camping Hatchet 3. Husqvarna 13" Hatchet. Obviously, these are 3 very different designs, but my main concern is one that is going to stay sharp and last a long time. I read some feedback on the Husky, and have some concern that several people mentioned that the heads snapped in half. Is this something they've fixed, or should I avoid that one?
