Ergonomic grip and the curvature of the blade of the Trail Blazer hatchet provide superb balance and optimal striking power. The Trail Blazer 13" Ergonomic Hatchet is small enough to efficiently carry in a pack, but long enough for optimal performance. With a High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade, the Trail Blazer TBH-13's knife blade edge allows for longer edge retention and quicker cutting. This Trail Blazer hatchet features a reinforced glass fibered nylon handle so the handle material provides a durable and lightweight hatchet.
