This is what I carry on my motorcycle for pounding tent stakes, and chopping whatever.
It was made by Kershaw. I'm not sure they still make that model, but I see a Schrade branded hatchet that looks almost identical.
I also have this Vaughan 28 ox framing hatchet. At 17 1/4 inches long, It will just barely fit flat inside my saddle bag. It would give more chopping and hammering power, but I have never needed that, so haven't carried it.
But since you already have the GB, and seem to like it, except for the handle is to long to fit the saddle bag. Why not buy or make a shorter handle to hang it on. Or horror of horrors maybe even cut a couple inches off the one its hung on now.
O.B.
