With its axe head forged at the historic Hults Bruk, which has been in operation since 1697, this is one really bad ass hatchet. The most compact from Hults Bruk, it's been designed fro precision and mobility. The Jonaker Hatchet will perform very well at woodworking, carving, and light splitting tasks while backpacking, camping, hunting, working on the trail or in the backcountry. With a curved 9.4-inch handle, this hatchet fills the niche between a larger carpenter’s axe and a carving knife. Weighing just 1.5-lbs, the Jonaker is a capable hatchet that’s easily packable and can be worn on a belt.
