Council Tool - Sport Utility 1.6lb Flying Fox Hatchet
Council Tool Sport Utility 1.6lb Flying Fox Hatchet
A camp hatchet that actually earns its place in your pack, the Council Tool Flying Fox is built for real use in the backcountry and beyond. At just 1.6 lbs, it carries light but swings with the authority you need for splitting kindling, clearing brush, or driving tent stakes at a remote campsite.
What sets the Flying Fox apart from a standard camp hatchet is its hardened poll, which doubles as a hammer. That kind of versatility matters when you're paddling into a site days from the nearest trailhead and every piece of gear needs to pull double duty. Council Tool has been making hand tools in the USA since 1886, and that heritage of precision craftsmanship shows in the balance and finish of this axe.
It's also worth noting that the Flying Fox meets the competition specs for both major urban axe throwing organisations, so it crosses over naturally for anyone who throws recreationally or competitively. Available in 16" and 22" handle lengths, there's a size suited to day trips and a longer option for extended portage camping or basecamp use.

- Handle lengths: 16" and 22"

- Meets competition specs for major axe throwing organisations
- Multi-use camp hatchet suitable for backpacking, hunting, and camping
