Thread: Tuatahi axe project - small axe / hatchet for hunting, tramping, fishing etc

Regret, the axes we were provided with as a forestry woodsman, hand sharpened & it took all of a half a dozen files & a heap of hours to achieve the right shape so as not to jam, finished with a oil stone. They knocked over 6 year old pines, thinning in a couple of blows, awesome fun. Was a traditional blast from the past, all of us enjoyed it. Offered to buy these axes at the time but 99% of us were, so impoverished at the time they were beyond reach. Looking back, hence the regret.
