Another "Hatchling" is born!
« on: April 29, 2009, 04:31:00 PM »
Hatchling = Not quite a grown-up hatchet.
I actually use mine as a pelvis-popper or camp kindling splitter.
I needed to make this for a waitress here in town for her Boyfriend's birthday.
I didn't show it in the photo but I put his initials in the spine in silver wire as well.
Forged from my 1" square 5160 and fully hardened.
This was a huge amount of fun to make.
Thanks.

What are the dimensions on that beauty. I have an old hatchet that belonged to my grandfather, looks about the same size. Am planning on making models of it for his great grand children.
