This is a hatchet/pack axe forged from a bar of 1045 with a Cutting bit of 5160 forge welded in..The poll on this hatchet has been heat treated just like a regular hammer..The head is 7 1/4' long with a 3 1/2" wide cutting bit.. Etched patina..
The haft is curly maple, stained with Aqua Fortis. Rubbed down with boiled linseed oil then finished with wax.The haft is 18 1/2" long with a swelled end.The sheath is made from 8/9 oz leather with brass snap and is hand sewn.
*Just for laughs I included a pic of the head just after upsetting the bar and welding in the cutting bit. Laying on the board the handle was made from**
