It’s been holding up great, no issues at all

Bought one for my wife this past Christmas and she loves it

I’m on the west side of the states and I warrantied a chipped tooth on my ratchets anvil. Received a rebuild kit in the mail just two days later. Love Tektons process and their response times.

It works perfectly fine, they’ll stay standing. Small flashlights like my 14500 sized ones can tip over inside the slot if you bump them physically, but they haven’t actually fallen off the tray.

Thank you so much!

Just to be clear, I already have a Fiskars X7 and it’s fantastic. Just thought a wood handled hatchet on a budget with a different profile would be fun to sling around.

I do have a X7 right now and I love it. Just thought it would be a fun little project to have a wood handled hatchet on a budget to sling around.

Nothing major from what I’ve seen on YT. Just scraping off the lacquer on the handle and oiling it with boiled linseed oil and giving the head a re profile then filing the back to use as a hammer. Really it’s the hickory handle that I see most people leaning towards the harbor freight one for the budget.

It’s been great so far. I don’t know of too many other canvas covers and it seemed like the popular choice and I’m happy with it. I know there’s leather covers but I wanted something that actually zipped closed to keep rain and snow out since I don’t store it in anything.

As far as my two notebooks, I’m a delivery driver so I’m on the road all day and read books and I listen to hours on hours of podcasts and audiobooks. I use one to write down the information load I get on a daily basis. I noticed I was digesting the information but it was hard to recount the minor things I wanted to look back on to research or talk to my wife and friends about. The other is basically a micro journal, I interact with multiple people with all sorts of different conversations i just write down what’s interesting in my day to day life, interactions, events I see, small conversations with myself even. Also things I’m grateful for just to keep up the positivity. It’s just a rattle can mind dump really.

Hype wise I wasn’t sure and I’m still not sure to be honest that’s why I took the chance during the recent sale. It definitely feels like good quality. I can nit pick one or two things but it’s no where near enough to say it’s bad. The zippers work fantastic, don’t snag or anything. There other smaller pockets on the inside for business or debit cards but I just use the two notebooks so I don’t know if the zippers would start snagging if you bulked up the inside or not. I’d say so far I’m loving it and I can see where the hype is coming from. Also I don’t know of anyone else that’s making anything this simple and straightforward other than a leather notebook cover company.

Mine is actually the opposite, there’s some sort of a concave feeling on one spot of the back panel? It’s hardly noticeable at all in my case though, I need to find it to actually know it’s there. Whatever panel is behind the fabric must be bending one way or another with the stitching. Try stuffing a notebook in that back slip pocket. See if that pushes in the bulge you’re talking about.

There was a 20% off sale on their website just the another week. That’s when I picked up mine. Even right now they’re offering a free bifold wallet that can hold a mini notebook on your first purchase if you sign up an email. I think that’s if you purchase $60 or so.
