I have let on that I am a sucker for a bearded axe. I came across this one made by BeaverCraft. Ukraine. You can see from the picture it is a belt hatchet. They have a storefront on Amazon but they do not sell this bearded hatchet there so I will order it direct, if I decide to get it. I have one question, It is made from 1066 carbon steel how does that workout for Axes and Hatchets? Given all of the Russian armor left in the battlefields of Ukraine I wonder if the steel from them is being used in Beaver Craft's woodworking tools, and bushcraft knives and axes. 
They have open curved spoon carving knives. My German speaking Ukrainian Great Grandfather on the maternal side (a German settler) always carved his own wooden spoons. He died before I was born but I heard stories of him making them from the family, my Sister has the only one we have left of all of those he carved. I learned later this is a cultural thing in that region. The farmers did not have forks, and they used their belt knives to eat with and they carved their own spoons.
They have the 3 compact Hatchets they can be had either with the handle installed or just the axe head.
