I bought this for hunting in the fall. The ax is a just in case but the knifve is gonna get some good use. My friend has this set and I've used it a bit, that's why I bought this set. So far I'm impressed. They came sharp with a good edge that lasts.

I got this set for this past hunting season and it worked beautifully! The hatchet worked fantastic. Ended up having to cut through a 8 inch fallen tree to get a moose out of the bush and it took no time at all and it was still very sharp afterwards! The knife worked well, except the gut hook on it wasn't very sharp. The sheath doesn't hold the knife very well unless extremely tight and at the right angle. Overall though I am very happy with the product, it's light, sharp (at least mine was) and very functional. The hand grip is very comfortable as well. Looking into getting the S&W three piece knife set as well.

Reasons NOT 5 Star:
1) Factory knife edge not great, still after sharpening, it's fine
2) The sheath "works" but not well

What is GREAT for...field dressing deer. For this price I really don't think it gets any better...

HATCHET: It's a very thin design. When used with a hammer, going through bone is a simple task with a few "easy" knocks. The Handle makes for easy gripping even when wet. THAT being said, I read another review where someone purchased this to chop firewood - THIS IS NOT THE TOOL FOR WOOD CHOPPING.

KNIFE: As stated above, the factory edge is OK at best, and it will require sharpening. It seems to hold a decent edge though and with the same handle design of the hatchet, it's easy to hold on to. The gut hook works fine, but it's not perfect.

OVERALL: I'm very pleased, I can't complain with it costing me ~$25.

Well I purchased this combo about a year ago with the idea of using the cleaver to chop down firewood. Well, after the first use I found that the blade of the cleaver was chipped in multiple spots. I have sharpened it several times since, but the dings in the blades are still there. I have yet to try the knife. According to the reviews the knife is good. One good note is the sheath is really good quality. Don't think it is actually S&W. Needless to say I have yet to use it since. It gathers dust in my tool box. If your looking for something to chop with, Cold Steel has some good stuff for really great prices.

I thought this was going to be a good set to have in my hunting pack, boy was I wrong. The first time I used the hatchet the edge was destroyed, it was full of chips. The knife is okay but doesn't hold its edge long.

I really didn't expect this product to be as good quality as it was... After a thorough inspection, I decree this product to be of high quality while "held in my hands". (I can't wait to chop some stuff and find out.) The picture obviously leaves much to be desired, but the whole thing actually looks better than the picture. However, I wonder why the brand I received is actually Smith & Wesson instead of Schrade? No worries though, both brand names are equal to me (whatever). If these tools performs as well as they look, this is a an absolute bargain, and I totally recommend buying it. But if it breaks... CURSE YOU!!! (lol, j/k) (NOT REALLY!)

The hatchet is good. The knife was not properly sharpened, after I sharpened it, a good knife. The sheath is bad, it can not hold the knife securely, hetcht part is OK.
