Hi all,

I have a rather unique/unusual Mini Hatchet Head needing a handle (Sorry I am unable to post photos at this time). This mini Hatchet Head looks rather like a vintage PLUMB

"Boy Scout" Hatchet (the PLUMB weights 18.65 ounces). The Mini Hatchet Head (when placed side by side) next to the PLUMB looks noticeably smaller. There are no I.D. makings on the Mini Hatchet Head.

The Mini Head specs are as follows :

* 2.5" Blade Face

*a FLAT (non rounded) 1.5" Poll

* 3/4" THICK (measured width of Poll)

*4.5" O.A.L.



The "Eye hole" I think is rather unique for a "Hatchet" in that the "Eye hole" is "Oval" shaped for a Handle identical to the shape and size of a vintage "Stanley Rock Hammer".

The Mini Hatchet Head "Eye hole" measures (1.25"L and 1/2" W). My being NOT good at Fractions/Measurements/Conversions etc. let me ask, might this (suggested by Handle Company) size model handle be a good/close match for my Mini Hatchet Head ?




The "Mini Hatchet Head" weighs in at 13.05 ounces and for such a small "Hatchet" the Head, I think it is rather THICK! In fact, it measures thicker than the PLUMB "Boy Scout" Hatchet.

Regardless, it is a pretty cool (albeit) STOUT lil' Beefy Hatchet Head! I can't help but wonder which Company might of made this lil' 13 ounce "Hatchet" Head and why is it so thick ? (measures OVER a 1/2" thick width at/near the "Eye hole").

Thanks for any insight help/suggestions/recommendations you may offer.

Your mini eye length is 0.03 inches LONGER than the referenced handle, so a 0.03 inch gap to fill out lengthwise in the eye. For comparison eight sheets of every day copy paper add up to about 0.032 inches thick.

Thank you Bob for your help. So, might this Handle be "do-able ?" That is to say, is there a way to "fill that gap" with ? for a secure fit ? Thanks Bob.
