Each head is ground at 30°, the angle the maker considers best for this carbon steel, and every hatchet is tested by slicing paper before it goes out. The handle is European ash, shaped for close carving work and oiled with linseed (never varnished) for a firm grip that will not slip.

It arrives genuinely sharp, which is why it comes with a welted leather sheath that protects the edge in storage and transport, and protects you from it. The maker considers the sheath part of the tool and does not sell it separately. Carbon steel takes a keen edge and is easy to touch up, but it will rust if put away wet; a wipe of oil keeps it bright.
