Reliable Miniature Axes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Gerber’s Pack Hatchet is Small Yet Durable and Ready for Anything

— July 17, 2018 — Art & Design
With a simple and compact body, the new Pack Hatchet from Gerber offers consumers the usability and reliable function of a full-sized axe with a travel-ready shape.

The blade is made with a long-lasting stainless steel that is sharp and easy to use, needing minimal to no upkeep. The handle was created with a rubber oversold grip to keep any hand comfortable and stable while using for long periods of time. Leading upwards toward the top, the design features unique finger notches cut into the metal for control when making precision cuts.

The blade reaches three and a half inches, giving it just enough space to make an impact while still being able to attach to a lanyard hole or belt sheath. The new Pack Hatchet from Gerber is available online now to take camping, hiking or place in a toolbox at home.

3. Home Improvement and DIY - The Pack Hatchet can be used as an all-purpose tool around the house, potentially disrupting the home improvement market with a highly versatile product.
