Some of the most essential camping gear is already on sale ahead of the incoming season. REI is one of the most prominent players, with deals on everything from camp stoves to three-season tents, while retailers like Walmart and Dick's Sporting Goods are serving up discounts on sleeping pads, Yeti coolers, and more. Amazon is the other place to look for sizable markdowns, and right now, its most popular hatchet—a must-have for backcountry gear kits—is less than the cost of lunch.
The Kseibi Wood Ax is on sale for $15, a 38% discount on its normal price of $24. This lightweight ax has over 1,700 five-star ratings on Amazon from shoppers who say it's "the perfect camp hatchet," and it’s currently the No. 1 bestselling model on the site with over 3,000 purchased in the last month. It comes in four fun colors, but the best deal is on the highly visible orange.
This hatchet features a head made from forged, heat-treated carbon steel with an anticorrosive coating for maximum durability, sharpness, and cutting power. The head also has a flat back section that’s perfect for driving tent stakes into the ground. It’s mounted on a 14-inch fiberglass handle, which saves weight, and the handle sports a rubberized grip, so you get a firm hold on the ax even when wearing gloves. The handle’s gently-curved shape makes it comfortable to swing whether you’re chopping firewood or clearing brush.
Don’t be fooled by the bargain price tag: According to Amazon reviewers, this ax is a high-quality tool that feels good and cuts well right out of the box. “The edge is razor sharp,” a shopper said. “Seems like I could shave with it! Well-balanced and comfortable in my hand.” Another shopper agreed, calling it “extremely light and well-balanced!”
With its low weight and sturdy build, the Kseibi Wood Ax is exactly the kind of versatile tool you can count on when camping or handling chores in your own backyard. Grab one while you can—this limited-time deal could disappear at any moment.
