I had a chance to use one if these a few weeks ago. It's a Gerber mini hatchet. It weighs exactly 1 lb and is extremely sharp. I was able to make shavings off a dry log for kindling and use it to start a fire with magnesium and flint. For the versatility and weight you can't go wrong. Comes with a nice sheath with loops.

this is the one I've been using for years. solid handle though, w/ no saw blade. don't have a real pic, just the advertisement, but this thing holds an edge.

yeah, I would carry a larger hatchet when not carrying everything I need in a pack. This is 16oz, so I'll compromise on leverage to save a little weight. Nate that Eastwing gives me nightmares. Reminds me of my roofing hatchet back in the day...LOL
