Western Black River Hatchet

Description

The Black River Hatchet is a great tool for any outdoorsman. The hatchet measures 11.5" overall and utilizes a sharp 2.5" cutting edge. The 420 titanium bonded stainless steel extends through the handles to create a full tang construction. The handles are made with the very ergonomic thermoplastic rubber for additional grip and durability. Included with the hatchet are a fire starter, a lanyard hole, and a nylon sheath. 

Titanium Bonded is not painted or plated, but an application of a unique formulation of titanium and chromium nitride to the surface of cutting blades that actually penetrates and treats the metal to create a permanent bond. The patented Titanium Bonding process provides the following benefits; corrosion resistance, adhesive resistance, and the process itself make the stainless steel 3x harder than untreated stainless providing a blade that stays sharper longer.
