This is a hand forged replica of the original Horace Kephart Mini- Hatchet. These are very similar to the origional custom ultralight hatchet that Horace Kephart loved so much 100 years ago. They are very compact and have an irresistable , jewellike quality about them.

Here is Kephart's description from his classic book "Woodcraft" (p.32):

"Among my most valued possessions is a tiny Colclesser tomahawk, of 8-ounce head and 2-1/2 inch bit, which, with hickory handle and home-made sheath, weighs only three-quarters of a pound. I seldom go anywhere in the woods (unless in marching order with a heavier axe) without this little trick. It is all that is needed to put up a satisfactory shelter wherever there is hemlock or balsam, or bark that will peel, while for other services I use it oftener that I do my jackknife"
