I give you the Pirate Forge Heirloom Hatchet! I cant begin to describe my love for a well made hatchet.  A tool with sooo many uses.  Im happy to bring the first ever Hatchet to you all!  Just like the blades Pirate Forge is known for these hatchets are absolute performance.  Due to the intricate one at a time in house heat treat these things take and hold a super sharp edge. (As seen in the social media videos). Aside from the performace these things also have top notch constuction and looks!  Forged from Carbon Steel with some nice eye drifts I finish up with a hand/hammer drift on top of my swage block.  After the lengthy heat cycles and hardening they go for over 6 hours of tempering.  I then free hand grind some performance bevels then laser engrave the large Pirate Forge Grail Mark and "Pirate Forge" on the opposite side. The blade as well as the back hammer face are taken to a gorgeous polished finish.  The entire axe is heat treated to a durable tight grain making even the back hammer face just as much of a high performance tool as the edge. I hang the hatchet heads on a free hand shaped American Hickory handle with a hammer forged copper lanyard pin.  When hanging the head a use marine grade epoxy not only as a lubricant but for the rock solid and water tight seal.  It is finished off with a top swedge.  Im telling yall these things are soo nice!  Each hatchet comes with a Left or Right handed belt loop carry Sheath.  The leather sheath is also made in house and features heavy veg tanned leather, forged copper rivets, and black stitching. The sheaths are just as nice and unique as the hatchets.  Select right or left handed belt loop carry at checkout.  These Hatchets will be made in the order that they are received. Im only taking 10 orders at this time.  All Hatchets will be completed and shipped by January 31, 2025.
