HX Outdoors is one of those brands that has some surprisingly good blades for absurdly low pricing. Which brings me to today’s mission = testing out the lock integrity of their $120 folding hatchet. Is it good bushcraft hatchet? No. It it cool? Yes. This foldable hatchet is a crossbar lock, so as with many crossbar locks, repeated stress and vibrating downward on the top can cause the lockout to disengage and the main lock to disengage.
I wish the lockout switch was better - I emailed the company after this and they said that the lockout switch is something they are working on to improve.
I also left it out in the rain for 2 days after using it and no rust.
Price: $115 with code MELISSAMILLER
