Damascus Steel Construction
The head is forged from layered steels to create the Damascus pattern and a durable cutting structure. Each hatchet develops its own pattern flow during forging, so no two pieces match exactly.
Bearded Hatchet Control
A bearded profile lowers the edge line, which improves control for carving, notching, and shaping. You also get better clearance when working close to the head for detailed bushcraft tasks.
