Description
A 14-inch hand-forged hatchet light enough to swing one-handed all day and heavy enough to bite. Made for splitting kindling, limbing branches, driving tent stakes, and the run of small chopping jobs around camp or the property.
Handmade in Central Texas
Every hatchet is forged one at a time by hand at our shop in Waco. The head is heated and hammered to shape, the edge is ground and sharpened by hand, and it is hung on a hickory handle fitted to that head. You are buying a tool a person made at a forge, not one a machine stamped out by the thousand.
The hand-forged steel head
Hand-forged from high carbon steel, heated and hammered to shape one piece at a time. The weight sits forward where the work happens, so the hatchet carries the swing for you instead of making you muscle it through the wood.
The hand-ground edge
Ground and honed by hand to take and hold a working edge. Sharp enough to shave kindling and carve a point, tough enough to chop into seasoned wood without rolling over. A few passes on a stone or a file brings it back.
The hickory handle
American hickory, the wood that has handled striking tools for generations because it soaks up shock without splitting. Fourteen inches overall, sized for one hand, with enough length to choke up for close work or grip the end for a full swing.
