Designed with the serious outdoorsman in mind, this compact hatchet delivers reliability and performance in the field, whether you're dressing game, building camp, or clearing trail.
At the core of the hatchet is its 4.25-inch head crafted from premium American-made S7 tool steel, known for its exceptional toughness and shock resistance. This high-carbon steel stands up to hard use and holds a sharp edge, making it a dependable companion for demanding outdoor tasks. Each blade is individually hand-ground and sharpened, ensuring it’s razor-sharp and ready to work straight out of the box. The 22-25° bevel angle strikes an ideal balance between slicing efficiency and edge retention.
The handle is shaped from hand-selected American red hickory, a time-tested wood favored for its natural strength, flexibility, and shock absorption. It’s finished with oil by hand, enhancing both comfort and grip while preserving the wood’s integrity. Its natural wood grain and classic profile offer a nostalgic feel, but it’s built to thrive in modern wilderness conditions. The ergonomic shaping provides a secure hold, even during extended or wet use.
Measuring compact in size and light enough to carry without burden, the Hunter’s Hatchet is ideal for campers, hunters, and survivalists. The included leather sheath offers durable protection and belt carry convenience, ensuring it’s always within reach when you need it most.
Proudly made in the USA, the Hunter’s Hatchet reflects a commitment to quality, utility, and American craftsmanship. It’s more than just a tool—it’s a symbol of the enduring spirit of outdoor life. Get your Hunter's Hatchet at SMKW!
