Out of curiosity, what don’t you like about the stainless? The have found mine to hold a reasonably good edge, even cutting rough corrugated cardboard, and I’ve even poked some holes in emptied spray cans with the tip with no deformation at all.

It is a tough steel for sure. I can't say I have really had a lot of hard use with it, but it has held up to box cutting and such. I strop my knives before I put them away, so it doesn't need sharpening that much. I just tend to prefer carbon steel to be honest.

Zach, the BSA official hatchet pic got lost in my Chevy Tahoe reverie. What a great item to have. Any idea how old that is?

I'm sorry Dave, he told me but I honestly can't remember.
I got it from a coworker who collected wood working tools in a trade for an old logging pick head that I found on an old property when I was doing construction work years ago. I think they are called "pickaroons" or "hookaroons" 🤔

Gotcha. I live in constant humidity, so it was an easy choice for me, but I think it performs pretty well… especially at the price. My expectations were pretty low, to be honest, but I remain impressed.
