WatchFire Campers Hatchet

Compact Camp Hatchet

The WatchFire Campers Hatchet from Szco is a small, one-piece-look hatchet for camp chores: cutting kindling, trimming branches and clearing light brush around a site. At 10 inches long and about 0.85 lb, it rides in a pack or on a belt without the bulk of a full-size axe. It suits campers, hikers and anyone building a backcountry kit who wants a chopping tool that takes up little room.

Features

• 3Cr13 Stainless Steel Head — 3Cr13 is a common stainless grade chosen for rust resistance and easy resharpening, and this head is treated for added corrosion resistance.
• Black-Coated Finish — A matte black coating covers the head, with the WatchFire logo marked on the side.
• 4.5-Inch Blade Length — The axe head measures 4 inches across and 2.5mm (about 1/10 inch) thick, sized for light camp cutting rather than heavy splitting.
• Ribbed Rubber Handle — The 4.75-inch black rubber grip has fine ribbing along its length to help keep the hatchet from slipping in a wet or cold hand.
• Molded Finger Guard — A raised lip where the handle meets the head helps stop your hand sliding forward toward the edge.
• Lanyard Holes — A hole through the head and another at the end of the handle let you tie on a cord for carry or hang the hatchet up in storage.
• Black Nylon Sheath — The included sheath covers the head with a fold-over flap so the edge stays protected in a pack.
• Lightweight Build — At roughly 0.85 lb and 10 inches overall, it adds little weight to a loaded pack.
