I saw this GTW single bevel hatchet on the bay and at $22 shipped I couldn't jump on it fast enough.
It's pretty worn, but the pictures can be a bit deceiving and I think it may still have some life left in it.




I'll know exactly just what I bought when I get it, but I think I'm fine with what I payed either way.
I've never seen another one, and lugged hatchets in general that aren't broad hatchets or half hatchet derivatives are uncommon in general.
Weight was listed at 1lb 15oz, so im thinking with the handle it probably started out as a 1-3/4lb head.
Based on the chipping I'd say the poll might be hardened.
Well I sure hope I didn't jump the gun and buy something with little to no life left in it.
