52100 Steel Hatchet Head

The hatchet head is made from 52100 steel with a listed hardness of 56–58 HRC. 52100 is a high-carbon alloy steel commonly valued for hardness and wear resistance when properly heat-treated. The head is individually handcrafted and finished to complement the traditional hatchet design.

Premium Rosewood Handle

The handle is made from premium rosewood, giving the hatchet a natural traditional appearance. Because rosewood is a natural material, grain, color, and texture can vary between pieces. These differences are normal characteristics of handmade products.

A leather sheath is included to cover and protect the hatchet head during storage and transport. Keep the leather dry and allow it to dry naturally if it becomes damp.

Handmade Craftsmanship

Each hatchet is individually handcrafted. Minor variations in steel finish, rosewood grain, leather work, and overall appearance may occur from one piece to another.
