My son and several of his Boy Scout buddies use this hatchet. They take it camping and hiking. Not sure of weight though.

It's pretty light, can be carried all day with out weighing you down. Well made, well constructed."Not"optimum for splitting or chopping anything large, great for splitting or chopping small to small/medium logs branches or brush.Happy with my purchase, Recommend.

The hatchet itself weighs 1 pound 6.4 ounces. With the cover it weighs 1 pound 8.7 ounces.

I havent weighed it but its pretty light weight for a B.O.B. I carry it around all the time. It might be the same weight as a framing hammer but no more than that. Its not noticeable at all.

Dunno weight. But light. Great for camping. Comes with protective plastic sheath for blade.

I'm not real sure how thick the blade is at its thickest, but the blade is hefty enough to do most camp chores. I believer the knife weighs in at just under a pound 14.5-15oz. Heavy enough, but not to heavy, holds the edge well, wouldn't be afraid to really get into it with this blade if the SHTF.

This item weighs approximately 10 lbs., but when held at any length, it may appear as 50lbs.. I mean to say when I get up on the roof to cut my 25 - 30 ft. palms, it feels like a ton. Holding it away from your body with arms fully extended and reaching can be a chore, but I found this model the lightest, longest and easiest all around. Straight up or angled cutting is a breeze, but arms fully extended and reaching out at 45 degree is tough with any long saw. (Most of the weight is at the far end where the saw is) Amazon had it for the best price.

This was a gift for a friend who was doing the same thing. I don't know the weight or size, but from what I can remember it is very lite wt & sm enough for a survival kit. I will get this same one when I put mine together! I hope this helps.

Less than 6 pounds. Took it on a bike camping trip now as we speak. I like it.

With the head weight and handle length on the chogan, it's probably the better chopper. At least as compared to either a carpenter's hatchet or a BSA style camping hatchet.

the blade is flat ground. Seems ok for camp use but I wouldn't baton with it. The handle is hefty but the blade is relatively thin in comparison with my BK9. You'll always be fighting rust though.

My husband says it's roughly 2.8 lbs. We'll be carting it around in a boat and a camper not backpacking so size is more important to us than weight. He really likes it. He mostly strums his full size steel string but finger picks the backpacker and feels it's improved his playing all around. Hope this helps.

This is a small light-weight hatchet that can be wielded one-handed. I suggest you get two, one for each hand, so you can go at it Ninja style.

I would say 50 lbs. base camp tent for sure. Def don't want to have to carry along way

Not bad. Would not take backpacking but good for any other type. Guess 2-3 pounds

It's two pounds anyway, and if you've hiked any distance with a 50+ pound backpack then you know that weight is everything. Items like this add up, I really like to have a shovel around while camping but if this one gets to heavy then maybe i'll leave it in the car next time. Only time will tell. The construction of this particular shovel is very good and I'll update my review if heavy use takes its toll on it. Good Luck.

It is fairly light weight and will do most camp chores. I like the fact I can slide the head off and throw that in the pack separate from the handle (assuming you modify it and remove the set screw). It will require some work but once that is done is a nice tool.

Haven't even used it yet, but I would guesstimate around 20-25 pounds. You wouldn't want to have to carry it up too many hills.

Relatively light for the axe size. I am going to guess at around 2 pounds for the head.

Shoot. I don't have a scale here at home but it's definitely closer to 2.5 than 8.9. Light enough that I have just used a caribiner and clipped it to my pack for shorter, one night hikes. Probobaly not for longer treks.

Not heavy. Seems well built. Start of winter camping soon. Will no more in a while. So far though seems ya can't go wrong considering quality vs price.
