A couple of months ago, I finally broke down and bought myself an Estwing camp hatchet with the stacked leather handle. I always wanted one; it's not expensive, about $28, but I never felt i had the dough to spare on previous trips to Fleet Farm.

Meanwhile, Conchita found a Plumb shingling hatchet at a garage sale. It needs a new haft and a little light cleaning. The thread on renewing chopping tools gave me a little impetus, so there's a project in the works.

Between those two and my Condor Golok machete, I feel pretty well fixed for choppers at the moment. That doesn't even count the splitting maul and a couple of old axes in the garage.
