A great little axe for the outdoors. If needed, it's easy to make a new handle because it is mounted in reverse compared to regular axes and hatchets.
The Freya hatchet, crafted by ex-soldier Elmer Roush from North Carolina, USA, showcases a design inspired by Viking axes from the early medieval era.
Forged from highly chip- and crack-resistant 1055 carbon steel, the head features a black protective layer achieved via manganese phosphating for improved corrosion resistance. The traditional handle is made from hickory wood, renowned for its combination of flexibility and toughness.
The blade measures 88 mm in length, head thickness is 32 mm, the hatchet’s overall length reaches 483 mm, and the weight is roughly 870 g.
The classic design delivers exceptional practicality, making the hatchet ideal for a variety of outdoor tasks as well as everyday chores.

Super little axe, both the workmanship and the steel are flawless, but the biggest advantage is that it is mounted not traditionally, but in reverse like a pickaxe, which is important in case it breaks in the field, because you can carve a new handle from a piece of branch, which in the case of traditional mounting is not so simple.
