I know that there's a saw and axe thread here but I didn't want to go through all the pages so I figured I would just ask here. So, whats a good light-weight hatchet that isn't too expensive(50 and under).

Personally I prefer a Tomahawk. It can do what a hatchet does,has a longer handle for increased power in your swing,is balanced if you NEED to throw it,it's handle is easier to replace in a survival situation, And it has always been known as a fearsome weapon. JMO
Rick + Crash !!! (Mostly Rick, I just thought I'd drag Crash in for the heck of it) Y'all created 2 monsters at Jamboree Me and Equus!!! LOL Something like these...
Hey - that was all Rick's doing. It was a new experience for me too. Gonna look for some hatchets at the next gun show I attend.
Oh, I've thrown a lot of things over the years (rocks, sticks, balls, tantrums, fits) just not hawks.
I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.

First, CHRS, you really do need to read the thread. You might just learn something. Second, When you say, hatchet, what size are you thinking. Let's make certain a hatchet is a hatchet is a hatchet.

something from the elbow to finger tips is what I would think a hatchet is.
Bought one of these, added to my fanny hunting pack.
I like it.

i agree with pocomoonskyeyes but i think you should get the cold steel vietnam tomahawk, i ususally dont get stuff not made in the U.S. or canada but most cold steel is good quality.
