Does the hatchet come sharpened?

It comes fairly sharp. Sharp enough to begin wok ring with, but you can always make it sharper.

Well, yes, it is factory sharpened, but I will say that mine had a very rough edge. I worked it on a medium, then a fine grit oil stone, and followed up by working it on wet/dry sandpaper grits working through 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000 then 2500. When done, I could shave the hair off my arm with it just like my properly sharpened knives. The whole thing took about twenty minutes, time well worth it since a dull cutting edge is a dangerous cutting edge, at least in my view. I realize a lot of folks don't feel the need for this refined of an edge on a hatchet, but most experienced "bushcrafters" (which I am certainly not) will argue in favor of keeping your edges as sharp and you can get them. You'll want it bite deep with minimal effort; the more brute force you need to employ, the greater the chance of injury. Also, such an edge will allow it to be used for a variety of detail work in camp. Hope that helps!

Yes, I was able to chop small limbs and branches with the "out of the box" edge. It's not razor sharp, but its certainly good enough to get started.

Yes, it comes sharpened and it is a very nice hatchet. We love Estwing products.

No. I ordered separately a two-stage Wusthof sharpener that is rather inexpensive but works very well.

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

The blade was dull upon arrival. It's more for display and usage as a prop than anything, but I'd assume it can be sharpened.

No it does NOT come with the knife sharpener........It is a very good knife(not a chef but can't see how you can do better under $10) and I now pretty much exclusively use it for almost all my chopping/cutting.......I have my own knife sharpener and have been wondering if this knife can even be sharpened using a standard knife sharpener, although since blade seems normal, it probably can.........I bought one and just put another one of these knifes on my wish list......

I imagine huqvarna dealerships have them, but I didn't like the one that came with my carpenters axe. As soon as mine arrived, I tossed the original sheath in a drawer. If your hatchet is the same size as my carpenters axe, I'll give you this one. I made my own, I've been doing leather work for a while and I made a more substantial one. I could make you a better one too if you like. Stay in touch if you're interested at: offroadutah@hotmail.com

No. No razor comes ready to shave straight out of the box. In fact, I ordered almost the same razor and when I sent it off to get honed I was informed that one side of the bevel was crooked so it couldn't be sharpened. $75 down the drain. If you want a decent beginner razor that comes sharpened from the company, I would refer you to google the website Straight Razor Designs. I ordered one from them and they pre hone it before shipping it to you. Hope this helps.

No. Everything came with it. I think the only extra thing I got was the attachment for sharpening skews which was worth the money.

No. I believe you are referring to the raker. I use a flat file and a depth guage that came with a sharpening file I got for my saw before I bought the Timberline

No, wish it did. Very sharp. I retained the cardboard packaging. Works well to protect it.

Yes it does! This is one of my favorite Cold Steel machetes. It came the sharpest out of the box than any of the other ones I own. It works well.

Yes there is a sharpening stone. It is behind the rope on the sheath and it's loose.

Mine does not, still a really solid tool, but I saw one at Home Depot that does. Might just be a newer model at the store.

No, they do not come sharpened. But they are such great pencils that sharpening them for the first time use is totally worth it!

Yes, the Kabar Cutlass comes sharpened right out of the box. As a matter of fact, be careful when taking it out of the box.
