Every hunting blade in the MKC lineup is tough enough to baton wood and perform essential campsite tasks, but we’re not satisfied with “good enough.” That’s why we’re so excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Montana Knife Company family: The Hellgate Hatchet.

Crafted with passion and designed to be the ultimate packing and hiking companion, this little beast is as handy as it is resilient. Chop wood, clear your campsite, and start fires with ease.

BLAZE ORANGE 52100 CARBON STEEL BLADE

Cryogenically-treated high-carbon ball-bearing steel built for punishment.

When it comes to steel, the Hellgate Hatchet doesn’t mess around. The quarter-inch-thick blade is carved from premium 52100 carbon steel. Cryogenically treated for maximum toughness, this steel hits that sweet spot between holding an edge and absorbing serious abuse. The Blaze Orange Cerakote coating keeps the elements at bay and protects the blade long term.

Hair Shaving Edge

While most hatchets are primarily designed to be swung, the Hellgate can do more than brute force. We gave it the same super sharp edge as our knife blades to make it even more useful.

If you find yourself without a knife, no problem. The Hellgate’s edge acts like a curved bladed knife, allowing you to open a chest cavity and field dress an entire animal.
Multi-Use Head

The butt of the head protrudes from the handle, giving you extra steel for a variety of tasks like digging rocks and dirt, pounding tent stakes, breaking up ice, and poking your fire.

This makes the Hellgate hatchet a do-it-all tool for any task on around the campfire or when you're in the backcountry.

Bulletproof G-10 Handle Scales

The Hellgate’s handle scales are made from the same G-10 material found on many of our knives. G-10 is famous for being strong, durable, and lightweight — unmatched by any natural handle material.

It can withstand any abuse without cracking or breaking, won’t absorb blood, and provides excellent grip, even when wet. We’ve also given the base of the handle a large knob that lets you lock in your grip when swinging the hatchet.

Exclusive BLAZE ORANGE MKC Open Carry Sheath 2.0

Each Hellgate comes with a USA Made, custom MKC Kydex sheath.

The Hellgate Hatchet sheath comes with a single-direction snap that prevents the knife from coming out of the sheath by accident and haptic feedback when sheathing or removing the blade.

    Very well made tool!

    This tool is awesome. It’s well balanced and super sharp. It makes shaving wood for kindling super easy. As with all MKC products it’s well made. It balances in your hand very well and the color really sticks out. The case is also very well made and keeps the hatchet secure on your belt.

    I’ll be interested to see how the knife edge holds up after a bit because of the sharpness but it would be easy enough to touch up.

    Finally!!!

    I’ve been trying to get my hands on a Hellgate for years but was never quick enough on the draw on drop dates! Managed to secure a blaze orange one with the recent drop and the wait was well worth it. Super quality product, great balance and sharp as heck (as expected with an MKC product).

    One little detail I would love to see on future models… engrave the MKC logo on the other side of the hatchet (or both sides) so when it’s in the sheath on my belt people can see the MKC brand. Gotta rep the brand!!!

    If you’re lucky enough to own one of these you will love it

    Finally snagged on of these beauties!

    I'd been holding on getting one of these hatchets and once I saw the Blaze Orange, I was ready to go! This is an amazing hatchet and I'm stoked to add it to my collection.
