Why choose Riftbreaker?

Riftbreaker is not a showpiece — it’s the small axe you reach for at camp. It’s light enough for a day-carry yet shaped to split wood cleanly and prep kindling fast. The profile is practical; the finish is honest. If you want a compact tool that feels like a true companion on short expeditions, Riftbreaker answers the call.

Use & care

• Keep the head dry — wipe and oil after wet use to reduce surface spotting.
• For edge maintenance, use a file or coarse stone; follow with a fine stone for a keen cutting edge.
• Avoid levering or prying the head. Use the hatchet for chopping and batonning only.
• Handle care: re-oil periodically if the handle looks dry.
• Store in a dry place; sheath protects the head and keeps carry safe.

Gift & presentation

Each Riftbreaker ships in a tailored presentation box with a leather belt sheath — ready to give as a rugged, thoughtful gift for the wanderer in your life.
