JXE JXO Berserker Camping Hatchet 15.7" Hand Axe — 5.6" 1065 Carbon Steel, Beech Handle

The Berserker is a 15.7-inch camp hatchet built for bushcraft, chopping, and carving — a compact, forged 1065-steel axe with a beech handle and leather sheath.

Designed for campers, hikers, and weekend woodworkers, The Berserker balances power and control in a portable package. Its 5.6" blade head is forged from 1065 carbon steel, heat-treated to 60–65 HRC for edge retention and toughness, while the 15.7" beech handle absorbs shock and offers a natural grip. Weighing 2.3 pounds and shipped with a leather sheath and sharpening stone, this hatchet arrives ready for trail, campsite, or backyard work.
