This all-purpose hatchet makes light work of camp chores from clearing camp and making kindling, to chopping small trees, making hot dog spears, or driving tent stakes. A 1.25-pound Yankee pattern axe head is paired with a 15-inch curved American hickory handle, making this compact hatchet the ideal choice for camping, working in the yard, or the forest. The axe head is hand forged at the historic Hults Bruk, a forge that has been in operation since 1697. Each axe is made from high-quality Swedish axe steel, expertly tempered to hold a very sharp edge even after repeated sharpening.
