How sharp is it?
Not very - it doesn't need to be. Sharpened and re-profiled it with a 80 grit flap disc on angle grinder and took it to polishing wheel + leather strop. The shine is just for the looks.
Good. You probably don't want a hatchet to be that sharp. You're not going to be doing anything delicate with it. Sharp blades have the edge bend or break easily.
Completely disagree! I’m into axe’s. Have been four years. Shit, anything with an edge.
I’ll tell you something straight up, a dull axe is dangerous. A dull axe glances. A sharp axe sticks.
Period.
