Appreciation post: my grandpa's 1978 Estwing hatchet and the handle he rehung in 2004
Found it in his shed in Missoula after he passed and the original leather grip was shot, so he'd cut a new handle out of a hickory blank and pinned it back on. That handle has taken 20 years of splitting kindling and it still feels tight, no wobble, no cracks, while the cheap hatchet I got at a hardware store in 2019 loosened up in about a season. Makes me wonder if most of what fails now is the wood, the glue, or just nobody expects a tool to outlive them. What's the oldest rehung tool in your pile that's still earning its keep?
