That might have been what you called it, but a hatchet is not a cruiser axe... a cruiser is a double bit axe in the 2+ pound range with a handle around 36+ inches or so.
At 2# and 19" (thought it was a little bigger) it is small for a cruiser, but too big for a hatchet. Cruisers are generally but not necessarily double bitted, refers to the size. Still pretty spendy.
If you can afford to spend it, spend it and enjoy the fruits of your labor 'cause you can't take it with you.
Wise words told to me by "Digger" the undertaker; "Spend money on good shoes, you spend a lot of time on your feet. Spend money on a good mattress, you spend a lot of time on your back. In all my years of burying people I've never seen an armored car in a funeral procession.".
