Double-bit hatchet "Made in USA"

[Steve Tall]

Here's a double-bit hatchet from "MooreMaker".
14", 4140 steel, Rockwell 50. 50 bucks list.
Haven't seen any mention of it on this forum.
Anyone have experience with it?

It looks very interesting. Any idea on what the head weight is?

 

[Shotgun]

No experience but it's not a bad price if it's a quality tool.

The heads look a lot like the Marbles Double bit.

That's a great deal if it's halfway decent.:thumbup:

 

[Pipeman]

They make very decent knives. That's just what I need to finish off my nessmuk set. I could do without the red haft though. Thanks for posting this.

Best regards

I saw one reference to a (presumably total) weight of 1 pound 5 ounces.

I suppose a good burn with a torch would take care of the paint. Looks like a nice axe. I have the Marbles version.

Very interesting.

Queen and Bear MGC make Mooremaker pocket knives. I wonder who makes these? Mooremaker is just a distributor IIRC.--KV

Thanks. Please do. The weight sounds good. I wonder about the steepness of the edge but that could be modified.

I've got two of the fenching pliers the make, and one folding knife. all are of good quaility.

Man, that's a beauty! I really want one. :thumbup:

 

[savagesicslayer]

I'm very interested in one as well.I'm still searching for that perfect Nessmuk-style ax.
I'm not sweating the red handle.A little circa 1856 will take care of that in a hurry.

 

[bearhunter]

yeah, that's pretty sweet.
red handles gotta go though.
"nessmuk" was my first thought also.
thanks for the post...

Got mine ! 13.5 inches long total. 12 inches long handle. handle about hammer thickness. Same angle on both sides of 5 inch head. Angles of blades look like splitters.
not sharp. leather cover. Head shiney and has old Timey feel with the writing on it.

How well does it work? I may pick one up on Friday when I get paid.

That's what I thought from the pic. Wonder if you can thin it down?
