It was found on the road some time ago. This hatchet had a major problem with the grip on the handle, so as a temporary solution, copper wire was wrapped around it to prevent the leather from constantly moving. These are nice hatchets and there are lots of them, this one has very little rust on it, and seems to be fairly old. If you know the age of the hatchet by the numbers in the video, let me know, my guess is around 40 years, but it could be older. They still make this hatchet to this day, it is a very popular model. The steel on the hatchet work-hardens very quickly so peening over the end was not as easy as it would seem. I hope you enjoy the video, and as always please Subscribe to see more and comment, I will make sure to respond to you. #Axe #Restore #Leather
