The Doubledown is unlike any other tool on the market. It combines the features of a knife, machete and hatchet all in one compact package. During development we obsessed over durability, knowing that it needs to withstand years of impact while still delivering finesse. The Doubledown is designed for 3 essential functions: chopping, splitting, and core knife work. For splitting tasks, we added jimping to the spine of the blade so that when batoning, maximum energy is transferred straight into the wood. Whether you''re chopping brush or small trees, the extended length of the Doubledown optimizes force and impact. For core knife work, choking up on the handle gives complete control over the slightly recurve blade The Quad-lock system is both safe and intuitive, with a built-in stop for added safety. This hybrid tool is proudly made in the USA, and ready for the outdoors.
