Many years ago Craftsman offered a small lightweight axe similar to this and it stays in my hunting pack.  The situation usually dictates how much field dressing I do, but it has come in handy to split deer pelvis and sternum by batoning.

This seems like a essential tool to have in your pack or on your person for the just in case. A shoulder strap like others have commented seems like a good idea.

Looks like a great tool to have when in the field. I like the shoulder sheath very nice!

Should be great for blind building and walking thru the woods days.

This looks like a winner, what is the thickness? I rarely carry much more than a medium knife, but something like this which could serve several functions in a lightweight package would definitely find a place in my pack..

I like it.

Looks good. Maybe a sheath to go along with it?

Looks like a great blind builder, treestand trimmer, and pelvis splitter. I would put a small simple edge guard on it, and carry it in my haversack. Great work Fred and Teresa!

I gotta X2 this one 'cause I was thinking the exact same thing (great minds think alike!).  Just a small leather piece to cover the edge, and throw it in my pack and carry it on up the mountain.  Really good looking item!

Very nice Axe and thank you so much for your generosity.    

Looks awesome !  

Looks like a great addition to any hunters kit.

I like it! Looks like a great item to carry for all kinds of situations.

Like it.

Great idea from Fred G. and Teresa! No doubt this will be another quality product from these two.
As far as a sheath idea-a buffalo leather would be nice.

Looks like a must have...........

Haven't read the others comments so I may duplicate someones thought already shared.

Didn't see any other pic's put the one view.

Very nice traditional looks and I'm sure it would be a very complimentary tool to have while hunting and around camp.

Not able to tell how wide or thick the back of the hatchet is , but it looks thin.  I would want to have enough material in this area to provide strength and power to drive in hammering operations.

Also the spine in the handle shaft look thin, but again its hard to tell.

I would ensure those areas are sufficiently beefed up to handle the task it may be used in.

Overall a fine looking hatchet and one that would be proudly carried.

That looks awesome! Would be very handy and I can think of multiple uses. Great job!

Looks very nice. What is the approximate weight?

Teresa told me it is less than a pound.    

Pretty Cool!
