Nice , how did you clean it up. Looks great
Thanks! Mostly elbow grease...lol, I soaked it in vinegar for a day and then wire brushed it to get the rust off then with a lot of patience I started sanding it by hand using various grits of paper. The edge took the longest for it I used a combination of file, whet stone , puck, and strop. My process takes a while but I dont have to worry about over heating the edge.Nice , how did you clean it up. Looks great
Nice little hatchet. This guy will make a great camp hatchet.
Good eye.Nice hatchet! Is that a Nicholson axe file? I have wondered how they perform compared to a flat bastard or mill bastard maybe?
