Would this or a hatchet be a better chopper

If you are using it only for chopping, then I would suggest a hatchet.Tomahawk is a multitool. It can chop, hammer, be used as a knife, a scraper, like a ulu.Hatchet does chopping much better at comparable price points.depends if you want utility, or a dedicated chopper.

As an addition, I would suggest checking out a fiskars X7 at a brick and mortar store.It is a great chopper, around $25 in store.only down side is the one piece handle. I prefer wood, but I love my fiskars for it's abilities, and lower price.

It's honestly about the same size as a hatchet and not terribly different from a hatchet. It's going to out chop and generally out perform something like the fiskars x7, but only because it has more leverage and weight. This is a good tool, if the only thing you plan to do is chop, hammer and kill. It's pretty bad at splitting, not designed for it. If your only concern is its chopping ability, this will out do anything in the under $40 price bracket. If you want to do other things for the same price, get a husquvarna or something.

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.

For use at home a hatchet would be the better option, but if you are using it in the woods for camping this tomahawk is ideal. I am very pleased with this product on the whole.

In my opinion even the coarse setting chops a little finer than that. But it would be pretty close. My experience is that there is more consistency with this chopper than with a food processor, but not as much flexibility in chop size.

It seemed more like a toy than a kitchen tool, it only made smooth. I returned it and bought a ninja. We can make chuncky or smooth with it, plus use it for a hundred other things.

I think this chopper is great. As far as semi-hard veggies, if you mean like broccoli I'm sure it would do a good job on that. If we're talking big hunks of raw carrots, I'm not so sure. Mostly I've used the chopper for a salad with lettuce, chicken, olives, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, celery, onions, etc. and it works magic.

I haven't used it for chopping nuts but I can't see where it would be a problem. I am on my second chopper and I wouldn't buy another type.

The back of the hatchet is sturdy enough to baton through very small logs but this hatchet is not ideal as a woodsmans axe. Its thin for chopping

Heck No! I've used the Oster and I've used the Tribest, the Tribest wins hands down. It's not just about motor power but also about the blades and the way the cups are designed. The tribest is just a better blender.

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

I could not get mine to work at...buy a Blade chopper...they are 100 times better.

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.

Ok, I did get chance to try the chopper to attempt to make some almond butter. It did struggle with the nuts. I pulsed it until it had a chance to break down some of the nuts and then turned it to full "on" button and the unit sort of wobbled to where I had to hold on to it to stabilize it. So, I would say that for this sort of thing, you would definitely need something a bit more powerful. Hope this helps. I actually learned something myself trying this out. :)

I would suggest the full grind BK-16 instead if your looking for a short knife. The BK-15 is more of a camp kitchen, butchering, or meal preparing knife.

Kinda. It turns sideways a little. Not as maneuverable as the bigger choppers.

It's a capable chopper and sturdy enough, but I would recommend a fixed blade knife with a thick spine for batoning tasks. But yes, it's a rugged knife and very sharp.

Yes, but depends on the quantity you want to make. It is a small chopper and good for many small chopping needs.

I guess one chops things better than the other. The double blade is better i think.

I'm not positive, the only thing that I can offer is that a machete needs to be sharper than an axe or hatchet.
