Walnut Ridgehawk O1 Steel Pack Hatchet – Walnut Handle

Walnut Ridgehawk™ – Hand-Forged O1 Steel Pack Hatchet

The Walnut Ridgehawk™ is a compact handmade pack hatchet combining hand-forged O1 high-carbon tool steel with a substantial natural walnut handle and classic copper detailing.

The hatchet is forged from 3/16-inch-thick O1 high-carbon tool steel and features a 2.75-inch cutting bit. Traditional hammermarks and a forced-patina blued finish give the steel a rugged handcrafted appearance.

The handle features a beautiful XL walnut grip, secured with a copper pin. A soldered copper guard sits above black fiber and copper spacers, creating an attractive transition between the dark steel and natural wood.

At approximately 11.5 inches overall, the Walnut Ridgehawk™ offers a compact pack-hatchet profile suited to outdoor gear collections and enthusiasts of traditionally crafted tools.

A custom leather sheath is included to protect the cutting edge during storage and transport.

Care & Maintenance

O1 high-carbon tool steel should be kept clean and dry to help prevent corrosion. After handling or use, wipe the steel thoroughly and apply a light coating of suitable blade oil or protective wax.

Avoid prolonged exposure to rain, water, or excessive humidity.

Keep the natural walnut handle away from prolonged moisture, extreme heat, and harsh cleaning chemicals. Periodic application of an appropriate wood conditioner or wax can help maintain its appearance.

For long-term storage, keep the hatchet in a clean, dry environment and avoid storing the steel inside a damp leather sheath.

Natural walnut varies in grain and coloration, while handmade steel can show individual differences in hammermarks and patina. These variations contribute to the individual character of the piece.
