Overall length: 15 inches. Axe head width: 5 inches. Blade length: 3.5 inches. Handle length: 12.75 inches. Axe head material: damascus steel. Damascus steel is sought after not only because of its eye-catching pattern, but also because it has high quality contents to give it an excellent edge and sharp cutting ability. The head of this hatchet is forged from a mix of 1095 and 15n20 steel that has been folded together approximately 350-358 times to create the beautiful wave-like pattern of contrasting metals. The smooth dark handle is carved from durable rosewood. While exploring the outdoors you can use your hatchet to cut small branches, defend yourself, hammer tent stakes, and so much more.
