Scout Hatchet – 1060 High-Carbon Steel, Hickory Handle, Leather Sheath

The Condor Scout Hatchet is a compact, field-ready chopping tool built around a 1060 high-carbon steel head. With a 2.68-inch blade and a head weight of approximately 1 lb, it delivers solid chopping performance without adding unnecessary bulk to your kit. The straight blade edge is suited for splitting kindling, processing small-diameter wood, and general camp tasks where a full-size axe would be overkill.

The handle is crafted from burnt American hickory, a traditional choice that offers reliable shock absorption and a secure grip under wet or demanding conditions. At 10.25 inches in overall length, the hatchet balances well for controlled one-handed use, whether you’re working around a campsite or moving through the field.

A handcrafted leather sheath is included, providing blade protection during transport and storage. The sheath adds a layer of safety when the hatchet is stowed in a pack or on a belt, and it helps preserve the edge between uses. This is a straightforward, well-constructed tool from Condor Tool & Knife, appropriate for camping, bushcraft, hunting camp, or preparedness loadouts where a reliable light hatchet earns its place.
