Winkler Highland Hatchet - Tribal Maple Axe

The Winkler Highland Hatchet in tribal maple features hand-applied tribal artwork on the dark-stained maple handle that provides maximum visual contrast with the laser-etched pattern. The dark-stained maple provides a rich backdrop for the tribal artwork, which appeals to buyers who want the artwork to be the focal point. At 11 inches overall and 1 pound 4.5 ounces, the Highland Hatchet is a capable camp tool built for real wood processing work.

The head is 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a black oxide Caswell finish. 80CRV2 handles the repeated impact of chopping and splitting without chipping or deforming. This is the same steel Daniel Winkler uses across his entire production line of knives, axes, and tools, selected for its toughness and field serviceability. The black oxide finish provides corrosion protection and glare reduction.

The tribal maple handle has a decorative laser-etched pattern applied by hand before staining. Maple is a softer, grippy wood with a dark stain that reflects Winkler's original pioneer and native-inspired look. The tribal pattern provides additional grip and traction on the handle surface and has become a trademark look across the Winkler line. The Highland Hatchet ships with a custom felt-lined Boltaron sheath that allows for a quiet draw and edge protection.
