Our axes are hand forged from a block of 4142 chrome/moly alloy steel in the Blue Ridge mountains on the Western North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee line and heat treated to 55.5 HRC. The heads are hung on straight grained hickory handles made from cabinet grade kiln dried lumber*. Each handle is hand fitted with a drawknife.
Our Trapper Hatchet is ideal for the hunter or camp enthusiast. This hatchet’s head weight is approximately 1.5 pounds, making it light enough to carry into the forest without tiring. We offer this in a 15” and 19” handle length so you have the choice of picking the axe which will suit your work style. The winning feature of this hatchet is it’s hammer head poll, which is hardened, tempered, and crowned properly so it can be struck like a hammer. You won’t need to worry about hammering steel to steel with this guy.
Sheaths are hand made with thick vegetable tanned water buffalo leather. 100% made in house. Overbuilt and ready to use, because overkill never fails.
