Strider knives are know for bulletproof knives that can handle insane abuse. The Strider Hatchet was built in the same vein as their other tools: Sturdy and bombproof. This heavy-duty hatchet is more of a breaching tool than a fighting tomahawk style weapon.
Here are the specs on the Strider Hatchet XL(pictured above)according to the Strider website:
- .250″ Black Oxide Coated S7
- 550 Cord Wrapped Handle
