1.7lb Wood-Craft Camp Carver w/ 16" Curved Handle, with a Leather Mask:
Specs:
The Camp Carver is designed to be a multi-use bushcraft/camping axe, and a “gateway drug” into the world of carving and green-woodworking/sloyd.
The design has its heritage in the larger riggers axes of North America, the bearded axes of Northern Europe, and the hatchets that are often modified into camp tools.
It’s a carver (bushcraft axe) that you don’t have to feel bad about bringing into the woods with you, or letting it get dirty while doing camp-chores.
With a swept toe, flat-grind, large bit length, bearded blade, and a radius under the hammer poll for the web of the user’s hand, it was made to choke up, shave, and do detailed work.
The poll is hardened and can be used like a hammer. It helps with balance of the head overall, and gives leverage when choking up.
It has a 90 deg. spine for scraping tinder and for using a ferro-rod to start fires.
The handle was patterned after a vintage design. It has a generous palm swell for added sense of security, a large hatchet eye to provide strength/durability, and a comfortable grip when choking up.
This axe will compete directly with many other axes in this popular weight class.
The axe will be a good tool for carvers, bushcrafters, green-woodworkers, trappers, hunters, backpackers, day-hikers, off-road bikers, campers, paddlers, tradesmen, ranchers, homesteaders, hobbyists and collectors.
It can be worn on a belt, in a hammer/hatchet holster, tucked inside or hung on the outside of a pack, with a sling, in a go-bag, or in a tool box.

I’ve finally gotten to use this thing enough to write a review. What a great little hatchet! I have a gransfors with the 21(?) inch handle and love it! I also have a hults hand hatchet and love that one too, but the camp carver is so much better! It’s almost like going from a pretty decent sword to EXCALLIBUR. This is my first blade made out of 5160 and , the other day, I hit a rock that was on the log I was using for my workbase. It literally took me less than 5 minutes with a sharpening puck to blend out the roll in the edge. If you have the money to spend on this hatchet, GET IT.
I've been taking this axe out into the woods for almost a year now since I bought it on the Self Reliance Outfitters website. It's the perfect tool to round out my cutting needs. When paired with a good fixed blade knife and folding saw I can handle just about any camp cutting tasks. The hardened poll gets plenty of use pounding stakes. It's a great weight for splitting wood for the fire. The 4" wide bearded blade is useful for more than just chopping - I can choke up on it and use it for finer tasks. Really a pleasure to use, and a great investment.
The Camp Carver is an excellent axe in quality, design and balance; at least compared to every other hatchet I’ve ever used. The hardened poll was the deciding factor for me purchasing this axe and I’m glad it was.
