Scorch Ridge D2 Steel Camp Tomahawk Axe | Mirror Polished Head with Hammer Poll | Torched Hickory Haft with Paracord Wrap & Wrist Loop | 19 Inch | Brown Leather Belt Sheath | Bushcraft Survival Gift for Him | BMK-1122

Description

Scorch Ridge is the camp tomahawk we build when someone wants the whole kit in one piece. The head is D2 tool steel taken to a mirror polish, with a flat hammer poll on the back. The haft is straight hickory, torched so the hard and soft grain burn at different rates and leave dark tiger striping through the wood, then sealed. Olive paracord is wrapped at the choke and again at mid-haft, and a braided tan paracord wrist loop hangs off the butt — all of it cord you can unwrap and use if the day goes sideways.

Built for: camp and trail. Choke up onto the upper wrap for carving, splitting kindling and detail work; drop to the lower wrap or the bare butt for felling swings. The hammer poll drives tent stakes. The wrist loop means the hawk stays with you on a missed swing, and the sheath has a belt loop so it rides on your hip rather than rattling around a pack.

Why D2 on an axe: D2 runs harder than the 1095 most axes are made from, so the edge lasts considerably longer between touch-ups — useful when you are days from a bench grinder. It is a semi-stainless tool steel, so it also resists the rust a plain carbon head will pick up in a wet pack. The trade is that it takes more patience to sharpen from dull; keep it stropped and you will rarely need to.

On the torched hickory: the scorch pattern comes from the grain itself, so no two hafts burn the same. Yours will not match the photograph exactly. Hickory is the traditional American axe-handle wood for good reason — it flexes under shock instead of snapping.

Care: wipe the head dry after use and keep a light film of mineral oil on it. Clean the mirror with a cloth, not an abrasive pad. The sealed hickory wants re-oiling once a year. Check the head for tightness before every session; wood moves with the seasons, and a loose head on any axe is dangerous.

FAQs

Can I unwrap the paracord and use it? Yes — that is the point of wrapping a haft in cord rather than leather. There is a usable length in both wraps and the wrist loop. Re-wrapping is straightforward.

Is the sheath belt-mountable? Yes — brown leather with a stud closure and a belt loop on the back.

Can it be thrown? It can, but a mirror-polished head shows every mark. If throwing is the plan, our forge-finished hawks are the better buy and this one stays clean.

Is a sheath included? Yes — every tomahawk we build ships with a fitted leather sheath.
