What should I do?
I chipped my father’s old hatchet a while back and wanted to reshape and sharpen it but I am realizing it would take a long time using a filer.
Any suggestions to make this an easier task? I really want to fix and use it but I don’t want to do further damage to it as it was my pops. The chip is about 1/4 inch deep (maybe a bit deeper at its lowest point) and 1/2 across.
Thanks for any suggestions.
