It’s sad that power tools just completely lack the character and charisma (and oftentimes, quality) of a well-designed hand tool… This is a Kent pattern axe. (Or hewing hatchet, or broad axe.) This year has been a good education in handling more hand tools that I have not used much before.
japan has the best hand tools, i like the saws the most and there axes.

Yep lived in Japan for 7 years- had kitchen redone and carpenters did it all with hand equipment- was amazing to see the detail they could get with simple hand tooks and the fits of everything was exacting – that kind of craftmanship would have been impossible in the mass produced kitchens available in builders square etc.
