Materials

The Workman Hatchet pairs a solid hickory handle with a precision-machined 65Mn high-carbon steel head. Hickory has long been trusted for hardworking tool handles because of its natural strength, comfortable feel, and ability to absorb impact. The high-carbon steel head is equally practical, offering the durability and edge retention required for repeated chopping, splitting, and shaping.

Inspiration

The Workman Hatchet draws from the straightforward utility of the traditional camp axe, a trusted companion for builders, woodsmen, and travelers for generations. We preserved its familiar purpose while rethinking how it could be maintained and repaired. The result is a compact, versatile tool made for splitting kindling, clearing brush, driving stakes, and handling the everyday work that comes with time outdoors.

Design

The Workman Hatchet is designed to deliver striking power without sacrificing control. Its compact 14.5-inch handle makes it easy to maneuver around camp, in the workshop, or along the trail. Use the sharpened steel edge to split, chop, and shape, then turn the tool over to drive tent stakes or wooden pegs with the raised back edge. When maintenance is needed, the head removes with a few turns of the included hex key.
