Axe To Hatchet Conversion, True Temper Dayton Michigan Axe
Published: 11 years ago
Best in 720HD
Edge Length: 4.5 inches
Overall Length: 22.25 inches (originally 36 inches)
Steel: Drop forged carbon steel (believe it is 1055)
Handle: Hickory Wood
Weight: 5.7 pounds
This is a True Temper Single Bit Dayton Axe ($35) with the handle cut down to make it more portable. The result is a heavy, but extremely powerful hatchet. The weight of the axe head is 3.5 pounds. The wrap is Slazenger racquet tape. I used a hacksaw to cut the handle. This is a very hard hitting axe/hatchet for it's length. It would be useful for rescue or breaching inside buildings, or for demolition work.
