Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I picked up this shingle hatchet recently, marked Norvell Sharpleigh Hardware Co, Diamond Edge. I think it's their #2 size from the handle mark. Around 13" long and pretty good condition.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
There are some great classic hatchets on this thread, here's a modern day hatchet. I split a stack of kindling using an axe, then thought a hatchet would be a better tool. So I bought this Bear 400 as my new American made blade of the month. It's small but stout with a one piece head/handle. I'm looking forward to more splitting chores this weekend.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Is that made by the Bear & Son knife company out of Jacksonville, AL? Looks like a great user, sweet handle.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Yes, Redrider, it's from our friends in Jacksonville. I just bought it new but the stamp is Bear MGC with six stars which, if I remember correctly, means 2004 production. I can't find it in the 2012 catalog so it may be out of production - I hope not as it's a good tool.

Always thought the details of the feathers were neat in this half/hatchet

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Surprising how similar the Dunlap ( a brand name used by Sears Roebuck and Co ) is to this E C Simmons Keen Kutter hewing hatchet that has a head length of 6 3/8" x 4 13/16" cutting edge

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Here's 2 Marbles Safety Axes that I have. The one on the right has a left facing hook on the "A" in the word "MARBLES" meaning it was made pre-1930s. The newer boxed Safety Axe was made in the early 2000's. Both are No. 5 unflanged Hawks. I just can't get enough of Marbles outdoor products.

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
Toolboy,
that is a great hatchet and in beautiful condition.
I didn't think of Dunlap being a Sears name. What I like is that my hatchet could have been made by Simmons.
I like that term; hewing hatchet.
Do you have a collection of tools that you could post on "pictures of miscellaneous stuff & things"?

Re: Anyone Collect Axes & Hatchets?
I purchased this (with a handle) True Temper Flint Edge at an estate sale over the weekend and she was in some rough shape.
The handle busted after a couple swings so I ordered a replacement from Amazon!
In the mean time, her she is......

Great videos, Mike.
Here's a Hibbard that I'm assuming/hopeing is a first cousin to the knife.
