The Rheinland Hatchet

Story

Everyday hatchet with a larger, curved cutting surface

The Rheinland Hatchet is a classic German-made hatchet, purpose-built for everyday tasks from the backcountry to back at home. The “Rheinland” pattern head shape is designed specifically to offer a larger, curved cutting surface. Bonus points: the handle protection is awfully handsome, and a Lithuanian-made leather sheath rounds out the package.
