This MT-600PK hatchet/axe is quite the handy little accessory, possessing a small enough size that rivals some utility knives, allowing it to be easily carried in the outdoors. The axe bit has a gentle curve, thanks to its bearded design, which adds plenty of edge for cutting and chopping, while the reverse poll features an angular spike for hooking and piercing. The axe is made using 440 stainless steel to provide a solid construction, as well as a hard level of strength. Add in the contoured pakka wood handle and you have a rugged little hand-axe that fits easily into the hand and swings with practised comfort and ease. The hatchet includes a nylon sheath that is perfect for protecting the blade when it is not in use.
