Thank you for looking! Up for you consideration is a hand forged wood carving hatchet. This tool has been forged from an L6 High Carbon Steel ball peen hammer head. The razor sharp cutting edge will handle chopping, slicing, shaving and cutting wood for your smaller tasks. It has been designed to be a carving hatchet with an ergonomic handle engineered for chopping as well as chocking up on the bit for fine carving work. Behind the cutting edge is a fully hardened "gouge" bit for hogging out material and many other uses including bowl and cup making.
The handle is custom for this hatchet and has been hand made from reclaimed old growth hickory and has been finished to a warm tobacco color and sealed with oil. I chose the most advantageous grain orientation for strength and durability and the hang of the bit is dead center down the length of this tool. This hatchet comes with hand made leather protective masks for both ends of the tool.
