If he's going to get any kind of "survival hatchet" he needs to get one from a reputable company. Mine is a Gransfors Bruks (they also just started making an "outdoor axe" that seems a bit too expensive for what it is) but I hear Wetterlings axes are also really good, and you can get them to the same level as the Gransfors by spending a couple hours sharpening and oiling the handles. I wouldn't really go with anything other than those two companies for axes. I also find that hatchets with a handle shorter than about 12" are really hard to use.
You can grab one from Amazon
