Damascus Steel Hatchet 15.5-inch with Walnut Wood Handle and Leather Sheath

This hatchet features a hand-forged Damascus steel head, created by folding the steel five times to produce more than 246 layers. This process gives the blade its distinctive pattern and structural integrity. The head is fitted to a solid walnut wood handle, shaped for a secure and comfortable grip during use.

The tool is well-balanced, with a total weight of around 800g, allowing for efficient and controlled swings. For safety and to protect the blade edge when not in use, the hatchet comes with a custom-fit, stitched leather sheath.

This tool is suitable for a range of tasks, including:

• General wood chopping and splitting for firewood or kindling.
• Outdoor and camping applications like shelter building or clearing small branches.
• Garden maintenance and light forestry work.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
