Adler The Scout Hatchet - red stripe 280.0E030B211

The Adler Scout Hatchet - Red Stripe is a compact yet capable tool designed for those who demand performance without extra weight. Whether you're carving out a campsite, preparing firewood, or clearing branches from a trail, this lightweight hatchet brings the reliability and craftsmanship needed for life in the outdoors. It fits easily in a pack or can be strapped to your gear, always ready to get to work.

Weighing just 0.88 pounds in total, the Scout Hatchet is engineered for efficiency. The head, forged from C60 high-carbon steel and hardened to a Rockwell rating of 47-55 HRC, delivers solid cutting power while keeping the tool nimble and easy to maneuver. Its compact size and responsive feel make it ideal for finer work like feathering kindling or notching poles, yet it’s still tough enough for heavier jobs when needed.

The 11.8-inch handle is crafted from high-quality European ash, a wood prized for its strength, flexibility, and resilience. Finished in black anti-slip paint with a bold red stripe near the base, the handle isn’t just eye-catching—it’s built to stay firmly in hand through sweat, rain, and rough use. The ergonomic shape supports a secure grip and balanced swing, giving you full control even in challenging environments.

Adler equips the Scout Hatchet with a heavy-duty leather sheath for safe carry and protection when not in use. It’s the kind of tool you’ll reach for again and again, whether you're packing light for a backcountry weekend or just need a go-to hatchet for daily chores around the property.

The Scout Hatchet proves that size isn’t everything. With precision German steel, thoughtfully selected materials, and rugged design, it brings serious capability in a smaller, lighter package. Order it today from SMKW!
