Whether you’re chopping firewood, clearing brush, or setting up camp, this hatchet delivers power and precision with every swing. Designed with rugged durability in mind, it pairs traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful features to stand up to years of use in the wild.

At the heart of the WatchFire hatchet is a 4" carbon steel axe head, forged for strength and resilience. Carbon steel is known for its ability to hold a sharp edge and withstand the repeated impacts that come with chopping and splitting tasks. The forged finish adds an extra layer of toughness and a classic look that emphasizes the hatchet’s utilitarian roots.

The axe head’s sharp blade is designed for efficient cutting and splitting, making quick work of firewood and other camp chores. Its balanced weight offers enough heft to deliver powerful strikes without sacrificing control or accuracy, ensuring each swing counts.

Supporting the blade is a smooth American hickory handle, renowned for its toughness, shock absorption, and natural flexibility. Hickory handles have been a staple in quality outdoor tools for generations, prized for their ability to reduce hand fatigue and withstand hard use. This hatchet’s handle measures a full 16 inches overall, giving you the reach needed for comfortable chopping while maintaining solid control.

A standout feature is the vibrant red-coated end of the handle, making the hatchet easy to spot in dense brush or low-light conditions—an important safety and convenience detail for any serious outdoorsman. The handle’s smooth finish offers a natural feel in the hand, combining comfort with durability.

The WatchFire 16-Inch Hickory Camping Hatchet is a straightforward, dependable tool that delivers classic design and rugged performance.
