A more compact and easy to carry version of the timeless Hudson Bay Camp Axe, the Camp Hatchet is perfectly packable. Coming in at just over a foot in length and under 1.25 pounds, the Camp Hatchet is still a capable chopping tool for light limbing, splitting kindling, and sharpening and hammering tent stakes. At camp or on the trail the Camp Hatchet is a versatile tool with an innovative head design with secure bolt clamp attachment and field expedient handle replacement. Head: The near inch thick head is made from durable 1055 carbon steel with a thin profile for fast, efficient chopping and a deep bite. The handle runs through the eye in the traditional fashion while the innovative bolt clamp pole delivers a very secure fit and fast replacement with the bolts being easily loosened with a single Allen wrench. The pole can also be used for hammering wood or plastic stakes or wedges for splitting larger pieces than the hatchet can handle. Handle: Made from genuine straight grain hickory, the handle is relatively straight with a generous shoulder for a comfortable close grip for fine work while being fast in the hand chopping. The knob is angled for optimal leverage and control. Comes with a simple, rubber edge cover. 1055 High Carbon Steel: Simple, relatively low-carbon steel used in large, heavy-duty knives, throwing knives or chopping tools such as axes when toughness is the highest priority.
