How much does it weigh and is it pack-friendly?
It's 22 oz (624 g) with the sheath on and 9.5 inches overall. That's light enough for a moto pannier or pack lid and still heavy enough to bite into kindling.
What steel is the blade?
A 3.25-inch blade in 420 stainless with a stonewash finish. Stainless shrugs off the damp and the stonewash hides scuffs from camp use.
Can I split firewood or baton with it?
It's built for kindling and small limbs, not felling or heavy splitting. Hard batoning can work the hammer head loose over time — treat it as a camp hatchet, not a splitting maul, and it holds up fine.
Can I use it to set up camp?
Yes. The flat poll hammers tent stakes into hard-packed ground, and the built-in stake puller pulls them back out when you break camp.
Does it come with a sheath?
Yes — a protective sheath with a belt clip and a retaining strap. It covers the edge in your pack and lets the hatchet ride on your belt.
How do I keep the blade in good shape?
Wipe it dry after wet use and store it in the sheath. The 420 stainless resists rust, but dry steel lasts longer.
