Caring for Axes and Hatchets

Here’s a handy one-page reference that highlights care and sharpening of axes and hatchets.

A good quality new hatchet will cost more than lower quality tools, but they are worth the investment. Many highly touted hatchets and axes on the market are upwards of seventy to a hundred dollars, and I suppose they are probably worth the cost but they seem over-priced to me; there are some excellent tools that will do the same work for less than $40.00. If you’d like to see my choices for camping tools see this post.
