yesteryearforge Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Just came across these two hatchets and a skinning knife that I made around 1979 - 80 during the fur boom. They were made to use so they werent taken to the finish that they would have been if i were going to sell them The hatchets are A2 tool steel the skinner is O1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candidquality Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Nice work. Didn't know there was a fur boom. Are you thinking about finishing these out now with the things you've learned in 25 years? Or are you going to hold on to them for sentimental value? Actually I think those can offically be sold as antiques now since they're over 25 years old. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 apprenticeman they are workhorses the smaller hatchet is all on piece of A2 with inlaid phenolic inserts for the handles / the skinner blade is 3/16 thick , both were made to use and use hard. i had had enough of lookers and needed a user ( couldnt find anything to suit me ) so I made my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
