Take our Appalachian Black Walnut finish to the ultimate level with this limited run of Vilkilni Hatchets with White Oak handles. Nothing can really match the deep, dark richness of our black walnut finish on white oak! As far as we know, we are the only axe makers offering this beautiful wood as a handle option. As a hatchet handle there is no conceivable performance disadvantage to white oak vs. traditional hickory, but the way it deepens and enhances dark finishes is unparalleled. Keep this stick conditioned with our HIldre Pitch Black Axe Wax and you'll end up with a lifetime heirloom camp tool that stands out everywhere it goes. 

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.
