This is a hatchet that a friend of mine designed and wanted me to make. It is definitely different from anything that I have ever made, but I have enjoyed making it. I will have it finished tomorrow. Thanks for looking at the pictures.

Looks like something the bad guys carried in the sci fi movie Serenity :) I like it!
 
That a very cool lookin hatchet! nice lookin weld too! I dont see much splatter so was it stick or maybe tig welded? good job anyway!
 
Thanks guys, it is a Mig welder. When I asked the guy I made it for why do you want spikes on the handle he said so no one will take it out of his hand. Ill make sure I dont piss him off after I give it to him. LOL
