Soo I have noticed I was severely lacking in the hatchet department
And I came across a good deal on a stihl forestry hatchet.
Like for $25 new

So I have brought it home and spent the last couple hours sanding the laquer and paint off the handle and just beginning to put a real edge on the head.

Gonna scorch and linseed oil the handle this weekend.

Y'all had decent experiences with the head? Decent steel? Or did I just jump the gun on a relatively good price?
 
Interesting! I've been a big fan of German made STIHL Chain Saws for years and still own and use a couple of them. This is the first time I've heard of STIHL having axes or hatchets. I'm assuming that they got them from a tool company that makes axes? Or does STIHL make their own axes or hatchets?

Also I would think it would be a German tool company that might make their axes?
