The Gransfors Hand Hatchet uses the head of the Wildlife Hatchet, but with a much shorter handle made from hickory. This little hand hatchet can be used for heavy work, ideal for splitting kindling. The Hand Hachet is great for packing in a rucksack while camping or driving up to the mountains for a bonfire. The Hand Hatchet is 9.5 inches long, with a total weight of 23 ounces. It comes with a leather sheath, the axe book and a 20 year guarantee from Gransfors Bruks. Gransfors Bruks axes are forged by professional blacksmiths that take great time and effort in their trade.
