My first hatchet, from when I was just kid, glommed from my dad, wobbly handle and all.
A 12 year old Friskee
A $1. bargain store that I re-hung. It's a sweety

Dancan, nice job on the hatchet haft! Here's a little guy I made at work when the cook asked me to see if I could find him some good wood to cook with on the pit.I was using a wedge and 4lb. hammer to split it with but this made it much better. It's cut from 1/2" plate. I heated the edge and drew it out to a finer edge and finished sharpening with a good pipeliner file. That's a good one I'm thinking Nicholson still makes in the US, mine is anyway.
I guess I have a fairly decent eye, I cut it out just by eye, didn't even draw it first, and it is well balanced. The edge is nowhere as hard as a Swedish or Kelly or other good axe, but I would trust this one over any chineese made crap.View attachment 276047
I also had a drawknife that I made from a paint scraper, very good steel in that, but I think my grandson made off with it, he really liked it.

Speaking of edged tools, here's some of my axes that have not seen any action except for one.

Thanks, and yes the far right is the Ray Mears | Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. That second axe from the left is the Fire Fighter Flathead Axe, it has a six (6) pound head.

Yes, read that review before getting the mine. Here's a video you may have seen showing the use of this axe the wrong (right) way.

The eight (8) pound head with the NUPLA HP Fiberglass handle is a beast of an axe and I'm a thinkin'. Hmmm. . .
Estwings are not indestructible .
