The Maestro Wu H1 Hatchet and H1 Machete are true workhorses for camping and bushcraft. This comes as either the Hatchet or Machete versions.
The Axe configuration features a wooden gunstock handle that is slightly offset for optimum handling and maximum swing momentum. The Machete configuration’s gunstock handle can be gripped in close or in wide positions when clearing a path through the brush, splitting bark, or for batoning wood for the fire.
Both versions are forged from bombshell steel with the black fire scale left on for protection against the elements. Their compact size and weights make it perfect for carrying with your camping gear, or as part of an emergency tool kit in your car or truck. For heavier Zombie killing work, we recommend the H-2 Kukri.
