Adler Rheinland Hatchet, green-black, hand axe

The Adler Rheinland Hatchet feels right at home by your campfire. It’s a practical hatchet that you can easily take with you. A good size for chopping kindling, for example. And perfect for a camping or bushcraft trip. The axe is made entirely in Germany. It comes with a sturdy leather sheath.

The head of the Adler Rheinland Hatchet

The head is forged from C60 steel. This is a hard carbon steel that is still easy to sharpen. The head has a transparent coating that protects the steel from rusting. This coating will wear off with repeated use. Therefore, always store your axe dry. The head of the Rheinland Hatchet has a typical German shape with a wide cutting edge. The small notch on the bottom makes it easier for you to get your hand close to the cutting edge. This is ideal if you want more control. For small cutting or carving tasks around the campsite.

The handle of the Adler Rheinland Hatchet

The handle is made from American Hickory wood. This type of wood absorbs blows well. Very important for an axe! The handle has a layer of non-slip paint that makes it very pleasant to hold. All the paint Adler uses is completely water-based. Which is good for the environment, and for everyone at Adler who makes these axes. Pay attention when opening the box. Adler fills the packaging with the leftover material from making the axe handles. Super durable! And easy to reuse, for example as tinder. This does mean that sawdust can fall out of the box when you open it. So open it carefully.
