This one off, custom made hatchet was hand forged by The Brushing Cutless Co. (a well renowned, high quality bladesmith shop). This hatchet, called the Apocalypse, was forged from 1/4" thick 80CRV2 high carbon steel with a full tang and dark ebony wood handle scales. Like most blades made by this blacksmith, the handle has been wrapped in his signature steel wire binding around the center. It was then wrapped in supple high quality black bison leather... and of course contains an authentic buffalo nickel embedded into each side of the handle. Comes with a soft leather lanyard and matching leather sheath for the blade. Please feel free to message me with any questions and thank you for looking!
