Hatchet Thatching

[Ernest DuBois]

Not for trimming the thatching material, it being covered in dust 'n grim with its tendency to fly in all directions upon getting chopped but very handy in placing battens 'n such.

That's a nice little hatchet.
So,is it specialised to this particular chore,or is a general all-around smaller axe?
Like,say,a number of smaller Kent-pattern axes that can be single- or double-bevelled,and are used for a great number of different jobs?
In general,this shape is what i always thought of as a German/Austrian "carpenter" hatchet,a side-hatchet(except,like Kents,not necessarily single-bevel).

All-round carpentry axe, me just taking every advantage of any excuse.

The axes having this form always single-beveled either left or right.

Sorry my knowledge of Kent pattern axes being that limited, I would call it maybe a refined Germano/Austria version, sure, why not, a bit lighter in its over-all construction.
