The screenshot posted is now incorrect as the model has been updated to more accurately resemble an actual Hatchet. In real life, Hatchets are one-sided axes that are commonly used to hew lumber into planks of wood. Hatchets are also often carried by firefighters who use them to break open locks or other obstacles to rescue people inside burning buildings.

Possible reference to a real world tool/weapon called Hatchet.
