Detailed Description
Broad Hatchet
A broad hatchet is the traditional choice for fast rough shaping, dimensioning & smoothing of wood - a hewing hatchet. One face is ground flat to the cutting edge, enabling the tool to be swung flush along a surface. It's made for right-handed use, convertible to left-hand by remounting the head on a new handle. Blade is 4-1/2" wide; length is 15-1/2". 2-1/2 lbs.
Choosing a Broad Axe: Left Hand or Right Hand?
Broad axes (and hatchets) are described by the side of the log they cut.
A right hand broad axe is used on the right hand side of the log (when looking down the length of the log.) Consequently, a right hand broad axe has a head that is flat on the left side and a handle that deflects to the right (away from the flat face) so that it clears the log.
A left hand broad axe is used on the left hand side of the log (when looking down the length of the log.) Consequently, a left hand broad axe has a head that is flat on the right side and a handle that deflects to the left (away from the flat face) so that it clears the log.
