Bushcraft Carving Hatchet with Hickory Wood Handle & Leather Blade Sheath

Spoon carving and detail woodworking call for a hatchet that can cut a controlled curve. This carving hatchet has a curved, forged high-carbon head paired with an ergonomic hickory handle built for that kind of precision work.

The Bushcraft Carving Hatchet is shaped with a curved cutting bevel that makes rounded cuts easier to control, a feature carvers rely on for shaping spoons, bowls, and other detailed woodworking projects.

The head carries a blackened forge finish with a polished cutting bevel, mounted on an ergonomic hickory handle stamped with our maker's mark, and it ships with a snap-close leather sheath to protect the edge between uses.

Pair it with our Scandinavian Hewing Axe for larger woodworking tasks.
