Why a hatchet, though?
We believe every woodworker should have a hatchet in their kit. Hatchets are most effective for roughing out larger carvings and architectural work, however they'll do great for any project where you need to remove a lot of wood quickly in the early stages. Where it would ordinarily take hours with a knife to remove the excess wood, you can clear it off with a hatchet in just a few minutes. After that, you can go in with your smaller tools to hone in on the details. Bonus points: your hatchet can also be used to section the log you’ll be working with!
As always with tools by Pfeil, this hatchet is made of the highest grade, hardened steel. It will arrive polished and ground to a razor sharp edge, ready to use.
