Carving axe/hatchet

<< < (3/3)

Peacebow_Coos:
One of my buddies had a nor mark Swedish skinning axe that was real sharp and light, and I really liked it, but I like my double bit warren axe more, I like the weight.  Durability wise setting hatchets last forever.  The hatchet is an amazing tool, good luck

mullet:
I have a Granfors and it is really sharp. I just don't like the weight. Check into some of the high end Japanese blades.

jonathan creason:
For a carving hatchet a Vaughn roofing hatchet works fairly well.  The cheeks are pretty thin, and the weight is pretty easy to handle.  A little work with a file or grinder to reprofile the bevels and you're all set.

Personally I like using old 1930s pre-war Plumb's, they have a good weight to them, plus I love the looks of the subtle hudson bay style hatchet.  Collins are great hatchets also.  One day I would like to pick up an old Norlund, now those things are cool!
