Thank you for looking! Up for you consideration is a hand forged wood carving hatchet. This tool has been forged from an L7 High Carbon Steel ball peen hammer head. The razor sharp cutting edge will handle chopping, slicing, shaving and cutting wood for your smaller tasks. It has been designed to be a carving hatchet with an ergonomic handle engineered for chopping as well as chocking up on the bit for fine carving work. Behind the cutting edge is a fully hardened "scoop" bit for hogging out material and many other uses including bowl and cup making.


The handle is custom for this hatchet and has been hand made from reclaimed old growth hickory and has been finished to a warm tobacco color and sealed with oil. I chose the most advantageous grain orientation for strength and durability and the hang of the bit is dead center down the length of this tool. This hatchet comes with hand made leather protective masks for both ends of the tool.

Here are the specifications:

Steel - L7 High Carbon Steel, normalized 3 times and heat treated and tempered in a computer controlled oven for ~59 Rockwll Hardness. The tool will arrive shaving sharp.
Overall Length - 9.5"
Bit Length - 5"
Cutting Blade Width - 2.25"
Weight - 11.4 Oz. without masks

Asking SOLD US DOLLARS SHIPPED CONUS

Paypal Preferred. Other forms of payment accepted at my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/UglyDogBlades?ref=hdr_shop_menu but shipping will be additional.

Beautiful work-you don't see carving adzes very often! Beauty too, nice and shiny, for now. :D
Thanks, Neal
 
Thank you all for the interest and feedback. The hatchet has sold at My Etsy store. I haven't had a lot of traffic at my Etsy store so I do apologize for the quick sale. I like to give forum members first crack and free shipping. I was not sure what the interest would be but it looks like I will be making a few more of these. Those that PM'd me will have first dibs.
