I found this hatchet at a garage sale for $1, looked like an Estwing, no handle and beat up bad, took about 2 lbs off of it by grinding and reshaping it and soldered a little guard on then rehandled it. It has an antler and purpleheart handle with zebra wood spacers. It's 3/16" at the back and weighs 1lb. 7oz.

Thanks guys, no reference pictures, I just bought it to throw around but then I ran out of steel to make knives and started fooling with this and it turned into a project.
