More Hatchets

[cyc79]

I've always been a fan of iltis oxhead axes,so I started looking to see if they make hatchets.Turns out they do make a few different ones.For those of you who like all steel hatchets like the estwing but would like better steel, they make one similar but with a black rubber handle.How durable their handle material would be I don't know,as I think estwing's nylon vinyl handle is tough to beat.Another model has a tubular steel handle that I think I would stay away from.There's also a few different wood handle hatchets,one of which I'm trying to buy but not having much luck.I found the one I want in Texas but was told they no longer ship to Canada.If anyone knows of a source I'd appreciate it.Thanks.

Looks like this place has them and ships to Canada:

I've no experience with this vendor, so use your own discretion. I found them quickly with a Google search for "iltis oxhead hatchet", so I'm sure there are others to choose from.

Thanks Blue Sky,but the one I'm looking for has a wood handle.The head looks the same though.

Oops, I mis-read and thought you wanted the steel handle, sorry. If I run across a wooden one, I'll post it.
