Hi, I've been lurking a while, on with my first post.
I think most people feel a light hawk head is augmented by a longer handle. However, a few folks have made mini-axes out of their trail hawks.
If you shortened the trail hawk handle to 10 or 12 inches, how do you think it would compare to the GB mini hatchet? It will be a few ounces heavier than the GB mini, but at 1/12th the price. Reviews of the mini say it is great as a fire prep tool for making kindling and carving feather sticks. I think a Trail Hawk on a short haft should also be up to the task. Opinions?
Thanks in advance.
