Helko Classic Pathfinder Hatchet

​Handmade in Germany
The Pathfinder is comfortable to hold, well balanced, and unfailingly dependable.  It performs well at making kindling, limbing branches, general yard work, and is a reliable camp or packing tool.  The hammerhead poll may be used to drive tent stakes and perform other light hammering.  The head is buffed and polished to a reflective finish that reduces cutting friction and improves rust resistance.
