That's a nice one Cap. I have always been a "hatchet" man when it comes to large deer (muley) and especially elk. I used an original #9 Marbles for many years until it's value exceeded the use. I still have a newer Marbles #9 but their handle material doesn't hold up like the old one. I have broken 3 handles over the past 4 years with just normal butchering on elk. I finally went with a Gerber hatchet that has a man-made handle material, but I'm not fond of the lighter weight or shorter handle. I like the looks of your Reeve hatchet.
