Overview

Handmade in Germany
The Vario Universal Hatchet is a durable and reliable outdoorsman's tool. At 18 inches long, this hatchet can be easily strapped to your pack for any wilderness excursion. The wedge incline in the blade allows the hatchet to be used comfortably for both splitting and cutting work, whereas most camping hatchets feature a slim profile designed for cutting only. This unique head shape makes the Vario 2000 hatchet a great go-between tool for all kinds of work.  Read about Vario Care and Maintenance here.
