Only because I watched this video tonight and was unaware of this type of hatchet/ax, do I offer this up. The Francisca throwing ax.
I think it could be used for other things besides what it was originally crafted for...and they are still available.
Start just a tad before the 30:00 mark.

+1 on the Estwing recommendation, I've had mine for years, well 2 actually. One Hatchet sized and another with a longer handle for camp chores and splitting elk sternums & pelvis' Never let me down and really holds an edge. They didn't break the bank either.
GHB, light camping, small trees.
Estwing, I forgot about those, got a hammer of theirs, love it.
I have a couple of Gerber copies.
Dang scary thing, not quite what I'm looking for.
More research needed on my part.

I saw a really nice hatchet hanging on the wall at a Stihl dealer last time I was in to buy a chainsaw. I bought it on impulse. Haven’t used it much but so far it seems OK.

Estwing is what I have.
Plus an old US Army issue from the tool kit of a Deuce and a Half truck. (Shhhh!!! Don't tell the government, they might want it back :tango_face_smile: )
Fiskars makes a great one as well.
Anyone who doesn't live in a townhouse in the big city might find Bailey's a great place to shop. I do!!
Especially those who understand such terms as logdog, peavey, etc. (Calling your name @Slippy )
https://www.baileysonline.com Geared to the professional, there are great products for homesteaders and partimers, too. Check out their hatchets and axes.

That is an interesting website! I enjoyed looking around there. I learned that a "bark spud" is a thing! I have long wanted one of the Swedish axes, but have never been able to pull the trigger on one.

Slippy at a minimum should spray some WD-40 on his Estwing stuff....:vs_wave:
