Plumb Right Handed Broad Hatchet

John Morris

By John Morris

A couple weeks ago we did a tool inventory at my day job and we got rid of a few things, or gave them away, I salvaged this beautiful Plumb right handed hatchet, just begging for a nice restoration. She's an old hatchet used by our surveyors over the last 40 years, still has some survey orange paint on the handle. The handle is not conducive for a carving hatchet, I may make one and fit it to the head. But I really see a lot of potential in this single bevel right handed hatchet, I love it.

I am sure you have some scrap that could make a beautiful handle.

    I do, I also spent some time today putting a nice shiny edge on this hatchet, it's a good tool.

    Nice . I have a BSA Plumb hatchet on which the original purple handle and the plastic molded in the eye, broke last summer. After 60 years guess the wood was just not up to the pounding. I found a handle when we went to Missouri and just have not gotten around to fitting it.
