Field Hatchet & Sheath
by Barebones Living

A good campsite usually needs three things. Firewood. A sharp tool. Slightly overconfident discussions about the best way to split kindling. The Barebones Field Hatchet & Sheath is built for exactly that environment. Inspired by traditional outdoor tools but refined with modern materials and construction, it delivers the balance, control and durability needed for everything from fire preparation through to general camp duties.

Crafted with a cast 1055 high-carbon steel blade and a durable beechwood handle, the Field Hatchet is designed to feel solid without becoming cumbersome. Its compact size makes it easy to pack into touring setups, camp kitchens and overlanding gear while still providing enough weight and cutting power for practical outdoor work. The rear hammer section adds extra versatility for driving tent pegs, light campsite tasks and general utility use.

Unlike oversized axes that spend most trips taking up space, this hatchet earns its keep quickly. Preparing kindling, trimming branches, clearing campsites and handling everyday bushcraft jobs all sit comfortably within its wheelhouse. The included sheath protects both the blade and the rest of your gear during transport, while the resettable handle and head design supports long-term serviceability.

It is practical outdoor equipment first and foremost, but like much of the Barebones range, it also carries a little old-world character. The sort of tool that looks equally appropriate beside a campfire or hanging in a workshop.
