Carving axe/hatchet

<< < (2/3) > >>

HoBow:
I use my hatchet quite a bit- between yard work, kindling fire wood, splitting smoking wood, wood reduction for staves and other wood projects etc.  it doesn't stay sharp as long as it should and it's showing it's age from heavy use and sometimes abuse.  This is part of why I would be more comfortable spending money on a nice one as it would get used a lot.  I spent a lot of money on a draw knife 15 years ago and my go-to is a $10 antique shop find. Most old hatchets I've found are junk- I guess because of what all they can be used for.   

Tracker0721:
Well... can’t go wrong with gransfors bruks!

HoBow:
Yeah- but they are definitely on the high end of what I would be willing to spend.  I've been looking at the hults bruk.  A little cheaper but gets really good reviews.  The almike is the size I'm looking at. . 

upstatenybowyer:
Hey HoBow, you didn't grow up in Pittsford, NY did ya? I'm asking cause I know a guy who made bows and uses that same handle... HoBow.

HoBow:
Not me- grew up in Kentucky.  Sounds like an imposter 😜
