Did someone say Elwell?
My Elwell 1 1/2lb hatchet which I re bevelled into a right handed side axe for hedge laying and green woodworking. Got it in return for a bacon roll and cuppa from an old boy at a hedge laying training day I did. It's fucking lovely, haft is a smidge longer than most little hatchets so you can get a good swing on it.
Haft needs a bit of a sand and refinish which I might do soon. Ideally I'd replace it with one which is offset in the belly like a proper side axe but it works just fine as it.
