I know it's nothing overly special but I was thinking about thinning out the edge with a hollow chisel grind and getting it pretty sharp... anyone have successful modifications to these TT dynamics?
Is it black paint or rustreformer?It's a fine hatchet. Those have great steel and good temper at both ends. I'm not sure what you have in mind with the hollow grind. That will be sticky and less durable under heavy work. I put a shallow concave bevel on TT claw hatchet and have found it to be an excellent all-around hatchet.
