Small Hatchet

[D.BRODESS]

Here is a small axe i finished up last weekend. Still have to order some leather for a sheath.
Its A-2 Cryo 58-59Rc, just over 9 inches long.It has osage spacer and 100+ year old white oak,with stainless guard. I used sulfuric acid for the finish,it looks like an old blue finish.
It will be up for sale when I complete the sheath.View attachment 7377

I love small hatchets!!
I have an old one by Craftsman



It makes me laugh that there was time when you gave a CHILD a hatchet as a gift huh1

I bet that would make a wicked thrower, Mr. Brodess!!!

Hey! Thanks guys for the kind words, I started making these to clean up small game.I make 3 models,this is model 2, and one is more traditional looking, and the other is tactical looking,that I handle in canvas micarta.I also take custom orders,And am about to send three out for heat treat,for a customer. i like to keep them under 10".
i just carry them in a fanny pack.
I ended up trading this one for a vintage fred bear recurve bow! this weekend.
But should have another finished in a couple of weeks.If anyone is interested.
