Hunting Hatchet from 5160

[Steven Kelly]

This is the small hunting hatchet I forged from 5160 and posted last week. I did some carving on the handle to git it a little better grip. The carving goes around on both sides and is connected at the bottom. The head has a differential heat treat with the cutting edge at a 55-57 rc and the hammer face in the high 40s.
The head is 9/32" wide and 4 3/4" long, with a 2 1/4" cutting face. The handle is 8" long, dyed tiger stripped curly maple.
The total weight is 8 ounces...
The sheath is handmade from Herman Oaks leather

This hatchet is small and light and could be carried easily in a pack. But, it also has the capability to easily quarter an elk.

Price $275 + shipping
