I can see you enjoyed yourself doing this, but since you cut and then ground the peins to shape, it seems unnecessary to forge and,presumably, retemper and rehandle them. You did temper, didn’t you? I appreciate that you have your own unique hammers, but if bits fly off, they can penetrate a long way through a leather apron. Lovely sharp hatchet! If you put blacking inside the hammer’s eye, you can see where it needs paring back.
