Experts Say

For over 100 years, Adler has been crafting some of the best and most respected tools in the world - Gear Patrol

Why It Made The List

For over 100 years, Adler have made top-tier tools from the forest-strewn heartland of Southern Germany. Unlike their European models, Adler's Yankee features a traditional American shape, with broader, heavier head and shorter edge. Those edges are also thinner and sharper, making them perfect for smaller stock. They feature an American Hickory handle coated with anti-slip paint and a bright red stripe to help you spot them in grass or leaf litter. Adler even throw in a premium leather sheath to protect the edge. There are few great axe-makers out there, but none that combine 100+ years of expertise with looks like this. 

N.B. Subject to 18+ age verification on checkout (OneID) and delivery (Royal Mail)

MORE DETAIL

Adler are a German toolmaker of international renown, making handsome, hard-working gear for over 100 years.

Unlike the traditional Rheinland models, the Yankee uses a more American design. That means a narrower beard with a thinner, sharper cutting surface. The design sports an even weightier poll (or butt) than the Rheinland, which works particularly well for hammering (think tent pegs when camping).

The heavier, sharper head makes them more powerful and focused for cutting and splitting, but with less surface area on the edge you need to be more accurate with your strokes. It's also worth mentioning that all their metal parts are guaranteed for life by Adler.

The handle is American Hickory, (stronger than European Ash) and feels comfortable in the hand, in part due to the enlarged palm swell, which keeps the hatchet from slipping out during use.

Textured anti-slip paint has been applied to add grip and aesthetic contrast, whilst a signature green stripe helps it stand out from the blander, more traditional crowd.

Its compact nature makes the hatchet perfect for more mobile or precise woodwork. They're great for camping, hiking, hunting or fishing, and weighing less than a kilogram, fit easily in any rucksack. With a relatively heavy head, they're great for splitting smaller logs, making kindling or felling branches. They're also great to have at home for those with a fireplace.

Simply put, these are fantastic looking tools that will last a lifetime; exactly why we think they make such good gifts.
