Rheinland Traditional German Hatchet for Camping and Bushcraft

Rheinland Hatchet: German Craftsmanship for Versatile Cutting

Handmade in Germany The Rheinland Hatchet is carefully crafted in the heart of Germany, in Wuppertal—a region named after the famous Rhein River Valley. This hatchet is renowned for its exceptional performance in various light and fine cutting tasks.

Unique Design: Rheinland Pattern Blade The hatchet features a traditional German Rheinland pattern blade, also known as a wide-bit blade. This design is exceptionally well-suited for detailed and precise cutting work, making it an ideal tool for limbs, kindling, and carving.

Precision Craftsmanship Each Helko Werk hatchet is handmade and individually drop-forged. The axe head is created from high-grade C50 carbon steel, offering a hardness range of 53-56 HRC. During the forging process, skilled blacksmiths use tongs to shape the hot steel, ensuring each hatchet is a masterpiece.

Top-Quality Handle The handle is made from sustainably sourced grade A American hickory, known for its strength and durability. For a smooth and comfortable grip, the handle is finished with boiled linseed oil and sanded to 150 grit.

Enhanced Protection Your Rheinland Hatchet comes with a full-grain leather sheath to protect the blade and head. Additionally, a protective oil is included to maintain the steel and prevent rust over time.
