Most trail hatchets stop short at 14 inches, leaving you without the reach or leverage needed to chop through fallen trees or split firewood. On the flip side, full-size axes are too cumbersome to mount inside tight side-by-side cabs. The Hornet Outdoors "TrailHax" 17" Mid-Size Hybrid Hatchet solves both problems by packing 2-handed axe performance into a compact, vehicle-ready footprint.
Crafted with a precision-ground, high-carbon steel blade and a shock-absorbing FiberComp® handle, the TrailHax cuts through hardwoods with ease while standing up to harsh trail abuse. Designed specifically for off-road rigs, it includes our tool-free roll bar mounting system so you can secure it directly to your UTV or ATV frame in seconds—keeping your bed clear for extra cargo while ensuring quick access when obstacles block the trail.
Don't settle for a hardware-store axe when you can carry the Summit Series Apex Trail Hatchet. While cheap imports use soft mystery metals that dull after a few cuts, Hornet Outdoors utilizes a professionally tempered high-carbon steel blade designed for the rugged demands of the American West.The 17-inch design provides the leverage needed for medium-sized logs while remaining compact enough for precision work. Featuring a shatter-proof handle and a rust-resistant PTFE-coated head, this hatchet is built to be a lifetime tool for landowners, hunters, and off-roaders.
