The hatchets are basic hand tols ll the woodworker know about and without a nice feeling hatchet , the wood cutting can be an easy theme , sometimes .
Surely you all have seen hatchets and axes in your villages , in the countryside , et.c and you think that they’re the exact same tools , but not 100% exactly the same .
See the complete post for the carving hatchets and their features , in HERE .
I have some suggestions and favorite hatchets for you and to tell you the truth the old days i picked hatchets-axes , only from their looks , but not now .
I try to be nice and beautiful , but i won’t to have first of all a nice feeling in the hand .
You can find very cheap hatchets in bazaars of 10$ , but i stongly suggest to have one or two more upgraded ones .
I’ll show you some very nice hatchets you can buy and the cheaper ones yo can find them easily in a near bazaar .
This Senkichi Satsuma Type , is a very fine hatchet in the area of the 50$ , for wood splitting and the other wood chopping jobs . The Japanese steel alloys are always in a top level and i always liked their sharp blades .
It’s a light hatchet , it’s double beveled and it’s very beautiful ( eyecatching for your surroundings ) .
Get it from Amazon here .
This Husqvarna Yankee hatchet is another fine choice for you , having a very well designed handle .
It weights 700grams , it has a hickory wood handle ( very well shaped ) and it’s a 15″ hatchet .
One thing you’re finding in the more expensive hatchets/axes , is that the head is secured in the handle with wooden and steel claws . This is very good for a hatchet’s head stability , during time .
Get it from Amazon for a little more than the 50$ .
The variety on Amazon is “endless” and see the whole hatchets “picture” , in HERE .
Some hatchet – axes accessories are very helpful and will make your hatchet’s “life” easier and you’ll maintain them correctly for a long time .
I’ve picked this leather guard from the “endless” variety of Amazon stuff and is a very good protection for your hatchet .
It’s handmade , it has the heavy – duty thickness i like much and the “old times” , rough – raw look . It’ll fit for all the hatchet handles , outhere .
Get it from Amazon here .
The same rough look and vintage approach has this canvas sheathe for your head protection . It’s “military” green colored ,it’s very cheap and the canvas is a nice alternative of the leather ones .
Get it from the Amazon Here .
Never neglect your handle’s wood and a good qaulity of beeswax passing from now and then , it’ll keep your hatchet’s handle in top condition .
This carnauba is just fine and get it from Amazon here .
Keep woodworking and remain safe and happy , till the “end of days” .
