SHOP CASE KNIVESThe No7 Knife Company Trapper Hatchet is built for those who work hard in the field and demand gear that can keep up. Compact, tough, and purpose-driven, this fixed hatchet is designed for serious utility—whether you're clearing kindling, making shelter, or tackling camp tasks that need more bite than a blade can deliver. With its bold lines and modern materials, the Trapper is a rugged tool that doesn’t back down when things get rough.
At the core is a 3.7-inch O1 tool steel axe head with a 3-inch cutting edge and a black oxide finish. O1 is known for its edge retention and toughness, making it a perfect match for a compact hatchet that’s going to see heavy use. The black oxide finish provides added corrosion resistance and reduces reflectivity, giving the hatchet a no-nonsense, mission-ready look. The cutting geometry is tuned for aggressive slicing and controlled chopping, offering performance well beyond its size.
Unlike most compact choppers, the Trapper Hatchet features a tapered tang construction—reducing weight while maintaining structural integrity. This design gives the tool a balanced feel in hand, allowing for greater control during precise tasks and improved fatigue resistance over extended use.
The handle is built from Black G10 with bold Toxic Green liners and black pins, bringing modern aesthetics and field-tested durability into one tight package. G10 is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and heavy impact, so you can rely on this handle in any environment. The toxic green liners add a flash of visibility—easy to spot if you drop it in brush or low light—and a touch of attitude that sets it apart from the rest.
At just 8.4 inches overall, this hatchet stows easily in a pack or on your belt using the included molded Kydex scabbard with a belt attachment. It rides secure and ready for work, whether you're miles off-grid or working your own backyard. Order it today from SMKW!
