Hardness for Hatchet?

[Fellhoelter]

Making a little hatchet out of D2.

What hardness should I gun for?

 

[LRB]

Were it me, I would shoot for around 50 Rc. Not over 55 Rc.

They came out about 55.

Not a traditional Hatchet. This one's going on a gator hunt next week...

Thanks guys, this came out pretty good for what it is.

It's scary pointy at the bottom of the beard, and chopped through a 2x4 pretty quick for as short as it is.
Overall length is only 10"
