Thanks, doglegg, but unfortunately grinding system is not very fast. Its power is only 1 EP (Eustace power) :?

I don't know, Floyd. 3-4 years ago, at a meeting of knife makers, a man gave me two scales. Then he told me what a wood is, but I forgot. ::dang::

No. I think it's kind of ash wood (Fraxinus).

This hatchet is from flea market. The gypsy asked for 5 levа, but eventually agreed to 2 (about 1.50$). An old Bulgarian production from the 60's - 70's, it has a stamped price 3.50 лв - visible in the picture. Called tourist hatchets. Кnocking it with a wrench rings like a bell. I'm glad I brought it back to life.

Very nice restoration Eustace! ::tu::
Besides being a tourist hatchet, is there a special use for that hatchet? I love the blade shape, very unique at least our eyes here.

Делчо, sorry for the late reply, but the last days have been very busy. The shape is typical of Bulgarian axes. This shape has been widespread throughout Europe since the early Middle Ages, but is now used only in the Balkans. It may also have been spread by Bulgarians when our country extended from the Danube springs to China :D I had an ax of this shape of the blade, that was at least 300 years old but unfortunately I sold it :

Interestingly, I also saw Japanese axes with this blade shape.
