Hatchet Blade Blank

Here’s a chance to try your hand at making a fully functional small hatchet. The blade is completely finished, so all your work will be on the handle. Made in high carbon steel with a brass bolster already epoxied in place. This is a backpack-sized hatchet, the head is 4-1/8” wide and the blade has a 2-5/8” cutting edge. The overall length will depend on the size you make your handle. Tang is pre-drilled for 1/8” rivets or pins. 3/16” thick.
