Compact, Powerful and Beautiful

Whether you’re heading out into the backcountry or just preparing kindling for your wood stove at home, there are few tools that are as infinitely useful as a hatchet. Small enough to be easily carried, but with enough size and mass to do real work, a hatchet can often be the make or break tool on an outing. We’ve partnered with Adler, a storied German hatchet and axe maker with over 100 years of experience in making some of the best hatchets out there. With a non-slip coated American Hickory handle, a water-based lacquer coating and a forged steel head, the TJB hatchet is an essential piece in your kit that will last for years to come.

We’ve gone the extra mile with our hatchet, giving it an extra honing to ensure that it's razor sharp right out of the box. Speaking of box, this TJB hatchet comes in a very nice, very black all-wood gift box. It will make one heck of a holiday present for those who appreciate good gear.
