SHOP CASE KNIVESThe No7 Knife Company Trapper Hatchet is a compact powerhouse designed for precision chopping, carving, and backcountry versatility. Built for the modern woodsman but rooted in traditional form, this tool delivers serious performance in a field-ready size. Whether you're breaking down kindling, clearing limbs, or shaping camp tools, the Trapper Hatchet is built to work hard and last long.
The 3.7-inch axe head is crafted from O1 tool steel, known for its edge retention, toughness, and ease of sharpening in the field. With a 3-inch cutting edge and black oxide finish, this hatchet is ready to take on hard use while resisting corrosion and reducing visual glare. The blade geometry is optimized for control—sharp and compact enough for precision work, yet stout enough to bite deep when more force is needed.
What sets the Trapper Hatchet apart is its tapered tang construction. This design reduces weight without compromising strength, making the hatchet more agile in hand and better balanced during swings. At just 8.4 inches overall, it rides easily on your belt, in your pack, or strapped to your gear without dragging you down.
The handle is built from OD Green G10—tough, grippy, and unaffected by moisture or extreme conditions. It’s shaped for a secure grip whether you’re barehanded or wearing gloves, and the black liners and pins give it a refined, tactical look without being overdone. The contours are designed to minimize fatigue while maximizing leverage, giving you confidence with every chop and strike.
To round out the package, the Trapper Hatchet includes a precision-molded Kydex scabbard with a belt attachment for secure, rattle-free carry. It’s field-ready, tough as nails, and purpose-built for those who don't take shortcuts when it comes to their tools. Order it today from SMKW!
