Old Bridgeport Hatchet

[David LaPell]

I bought this old Bridgeport hatchet back in October and before my surgery I decided to redo the handle so I could see it when I was working in the woods. I also gave the metal a coat of flat black to give it some resistance to everything else. I can tell you this thing is heavy and very sharp and is better quality than anything I have found for the money. Has a nice leather sheath too.

Looks pretty darn nice.

Very nice!! They made several of those that were marked with the BSA insignia, and they fetch a tidy sum when you can find them. I'm a sucker for old hatchets and axes, and that there is a nice one!
