Description
Vintage Swiss reserve and military tools are renowned among Bushcraft enthusiasts, Overlanders, and tool collectors for their old-world metallurgy and lifetime durability. Measuring 40 cm (15.7 inches) in total length, this compact hand axe is perfectly sized for rucksack carry, camp chores, splitting kindling, or stowing inside a 4x4 Overland vehicle kit.
Designed with a classic wedge-shaped head profile, this hatchet punches well above its weight class when splitting seasoned wood while remaining nimble enough for one-handed camp craft.
Key Features & Collector Details:
- Drop-Forged Steel Head with CF / L Hallmark: Finished in bright brushed steel, the head is deeply struck on the right cheek with the CF / L forge mark and features a flat poll suitable for driving tent stakes or wedges.
- Contoured European Ash Handle (40 cm): Mounted on a straight-grained, ergonomically curved Ash wood handle that offers natural shock absorption and a secure grip.
- Untouched NOS Condition: Released directly from long-term Swiss depot storage, this hatchet has never been used or sharpened—retaining its 100% original factory edge bevel, black polymer slip-on blade guard, and original clear depot protective sleeve on the head.
