We love the big axes. Absolutely love them. But when it comes down to it, over a lifetime of campfires, fishing trips, backcountry hunts and brush clearing projects, let's be honest, it's the humble hatchet that remains the King of Utility!
It's doubful you'll ever actually use any axe more than your trusty hatchet. We're very proud to finally have one of our own to add to the long, storied history of the hachette.
In Latvian, "Vilkilni" translates roughly as "Wolf Fang," and this little vixen has plenty of bite for her size.
We wanted to make a "just right" hatchet that checked a lot of boxes on a lot of tasks. A super sharp business end, aggressive angle geometry, a comfortable grip around the neck for carving, a wide edge and slim profile for skinning, and a light, whippy chopper for the firewood tasks. We think the Vilkilni offers outstanding all-round utility and design for the modern wanderer of woods.
Reports from the field:
"Pretty dope. Perfect size and what a wicked edge!" - EB, Paxton, MA
"The hatchet is in my hands (holy, it’s sharp😁). What a beauty." - JP, Courtenay, CA
“What a hatchet you made!!! So sharp, beats my Knives at cutting paper, lol... Cleans up limbs effortlessly for size... very, very well balanced…at first thought the section in front of palm swell was too narrow, but I can tell as you use it, you begin to work with it.” - FM, Haltom City ,TX.
"The new LAMACA Vilkilni Hatchet is a masterpiece...the handle design is pure genius." - WS, Gallup, NM.
“I’m no axe expert. I have spent the last 15 years designing and manufacturing sporting rifle stocks, and I’ve hung dozens of axes onto hand carved hickory blanks that I’ve designed. By far your axes are the first models to ever arrive and be put to work without needing to be thinned and shaped, or re ground.” - KC, Montgomery, AL.
LAMACA Axes are serial numbered and assigned in order of purchase. As a handmade item, appearance in color, hue, and finish will vary somewhat from piece to piece. Each axe is an individual work and can differ in appearance, but all our axes are crafted with pride and backed by a Lifetime Warranty on manufacturing defects.
