Winkler Highland Hatchet - Green Laminate Axe

The Winkler Highland Hatchet in green laminate is the weather-resistant synthetic handle option in the Highland Hatchet lineup. Green canvas laminate is functionally equivalent to micarta and will not absorb moisture, swell, or crack in conditions that would damage a wood handle over time. For users who carry a hatchet in wet climates, leave one in a truck or pack for weeks at a time, or simply prefer the durability of a synthetic, the green laminate is the practical choice.

The head is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 provides the impact toughness that defines every Winkler edged tool. The Highland Hatchet handles limbing, kindling splitting, and general camp wood processing with authority. The black oxide finish reduces glare and provides a corrosion barrier. Total weight is 1 pound 4.5 ounces at 11 inches overall.

The green canvas laminate handle provides consistent grip performance regardless of weather or conditions. The OD green color runs through the full thickness of the material and will not fade. Laminate maintains its grip characteristics wet, dry, cold, or muddy, and it never needs oiling or conditioning like wood handles do. The Highland Hatchet ships with a custom felt-lined Boltaron sheath that allows for a quiet draw and edge protection.
