Inspired by traditional hand tools but designed for the modern craftsman, the Barebones Workman Collection pairs heirloom-level materials with forward-thinking modularity. Featuring a solid hickory handle and precision-machined 65Mn high-carbon steel head that can be easily swapped, replaced, or maintained with a few turns of a wrench. Each strike and swing is backed by deliberate engineering—simple, strong, and built to last.
• 14.5" hickory handle — absorbs shock while maintaining control through repeated swings.
• 65Mn high-carbon steel head — holds a sharp edge through wood, brush, and everyday camp work.
• Removable, serviceable head — sharpen or swap in the field, no shop required
• Raised poll — drives stakes and pegs without reaching for another tool.
• Barebones build quality — made to outlast the job

Q: What is the hatchet best used for?
A: The Workman Hatchet is designed for splitting kindling, clearing brush, driving stakes, and light carpentry. Its compact 14.5" handle offers excellent control without sacrificing striking power.
Q: Can the head be replaced or swapped?

Q: What steel is the head made from?
A: The head is precision-machined from 65Mn high-carbon steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention, durability, and impact resistance.
Q: Does it include a sheath?
A: Yes. Every Workman Hatchet includes a durable Terylene (polyester) protective sheath, plus the hardware and hex key needed for maintenance.
Q: How do I care for the tool?
A: Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled, sharpen as needed, periodically condition the hickory handle with wood oil or wax, and hand clean the sheath when necessary.
