When working around camp it is always best to have a hatchet at your disposal. They are great for gathering wood, chopping down swamp cabbage, and hammer down tent stakes. The eye catcher you see here is made from carbon steel with a full tang construction. The head has a rough stone finish to protect the blade for a long life. It comes sharp but I suggest giving it another once over. There is a short guard that is also carbon steel with a wood handle. The handle mounts have been stained a lovely shade of green to enhance the grain. Four brass pins hold the handle together. Built with a solid construction this hatchet will be a great addition to your camping gear. Overall Length: 12 Inches
