Winkler Knives Highland Hatchet

Compact Chop. Full-Sized Impact.

The Winkler Highland Hatchet is the most versatile utility axe in the WK lineup. With a wide 4 7/8” cutting edge and a hammer pole instead of a spike, it’s built to split, smash, and handle real work. Over 2” shorter than full-size models, it rides easy on your belt or pack—no dead weight, no compromise.

Why We Love It

It’s an absolute beast in a compact frame. The Highland Hatchet is ideal for chopping wood, breaching, or backcountry tasks. The hammer pole adds real-world function where a spike just can’t. And with a skeletonized full-tang and tapered build, you get balance, control, and carry comfort—all in one.
