Description
This new hatchet is terrific around the house or the campsite, and comes with our logo laser-etched onto the USA hickory handle. The steel head is the same as our popular Yankee Hatchet, but at a generous 27", the handle is much longer, so it provides additional momentum when chopping kindling, splitting small log rounds, or clearing brush. The head is secured with a Beech wedge and a steel ring. The bright red on the handle end makes it easy to spot on the ground. Made to our specifications in Germany by a well-known foundry.
Specs: Weight: 2¼ lbs.; Handle: 27" long, Head: 3.5" x 5.5"
Shipping Restrictions: Air shipping unavailable. Ground shipping to contiguous 48 U.S. only. Not eligible to ship to Canada.

Very light. Question the quality.
"Very light. Question the quality."
Perfect in every way.
"I've been getting my woodworking tools from Garrett Wade for over three decades - never disappointed. After a first failed delivery (not GW's fault) I received the clearing hatchet, thanks to GW accommodating staff. The hatchet is exactly what I'd expect from Garett Wade - excellent in every way. The handle is perfectly finished and comfortable, the tool is well balanced for splitting wood bolts. The head is well made and takes a good edge. Garrett Wade does it again"
Great kindling hatchet!
"I really like the size of this hatchet; the longer handle makes it so much more useful. It's working out great!"
Good solid quality. Very pleased.
"Good solid quality. Very pleased."
My axe arrived on time
"My axe arrived on time and packaged very well. It was really sharp and well made. It’s has good balance and is the perfect weight for clearing out small trees and overgrown thorn bushes. Overall I’m very pleased."
Works great well made. Arrived
"Works great well made. Arrived in good time."
Great axe.
"Finish wasn't perfect (had some bubbles in the varnish, some red paint splattered on the handle) and the head wasn't symmetrical. But when I started using it, that didn't matter anymore since it cut twice as fast as a hatchet and stayed sharp. Handle feels comfortable."
Kindling and clearing hatchet
"Perfect sized hatchet/axe to have on every wood related chore. Weather cutting logs for the sawmill or splitting firewood on the splitter. Been a good tool to have around these jobs."
Perfect little axe
"It is a good axe for camping or keeping in your vehicle. The only faults I can really mention is there is a slight gap between the eye and the handle, being able to see light through the eye. It's not much, but noticeable by my OCD. Also, although the head is solid, it would be somewhat better, at least to me, if at the very top, instead of being flushed to the head, have a small bit of the handle be about 1/8"" -1/4"" proud to better flair out just a bit. All in all though, a very good axe, one I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again or to recommend to my friends. Garrett Wade shipped in a very timely manner, dispite the severe weather conditions."
This ax came sharp and ready to work.
"Perfect size for general chores/camping. Lighter and shorter than my felling ax, this ax is lighter and shorter but still has enough weight in the head to do damage. I sanded the handle with finer grit and polyurethaned. Super smooth and silky until your hands slide to the red paint job. Again, I really like this ax."
Q&A
- How come axes won't ship to Canada anymore?
- BK, the Canadian authorities do not allow sharp objects to be shipped there. Thank you.
- I'm looking for an all-purpose axe to use around the yard, from splitting wood to chopping branches, cutting roots, and chopping logs. Which axe would you recommend?
- BK, the kindling and clearing hatchet would be a good choice for you purposes. Item no. 54A03.38. Also have a look on our website garrettwade.com to see our wide selection. Thank you.
- Will this arrive sharp & ready for use? The recipient does not own a grinder or other heavy duty sharpener? Thank you.
- Laura, I checked some that I have here and they are sharp. However with use it will need sharpening. A relatively inexpensive fine mill file will do the job of sharpening the axe. Thank you.
- Will there be a sheath available with the axe?
- Matvey, this particular hatchet (the GW Chopping and Clearing Hatchet) does not come with a sheath. Thankyou
