Hunter‘s Hatchet
The old Plumb hatchet company made lots of different sized "Boy Scout" hatchets. They were all good. The lightweight 3/4 lb. head hatchet with a hickory handle was, in our opinion, one of the best hatchets ever produced for hunters, backpackers, and campers. At only 11" long, it was easily carried on a belt or in a pack and performed camp and field-dressing duties effortlessly. Unfortunately, cheaper overseas mass production and the movement to injection molded plastic handles pretty well eliminated these beautiful and functional little hatchets with their durable oil-finished American hickory handles. We have decided to remedy that situation.
