Crating up the keen kutter carpenter's hatchet

Time to say goodbye to the keen kutter carpenter's hatchet.

after a final hone and last protective shine,

i prepared the hatchet before closing the crate.

first a quick bit cover. the tool is very sharp and will slice through the packaging during transport.

then comes the bubble wrap.

i want to make sure that there is no rattling inside the crate.

from here on out all marks made on the tool will not be made by me

but

by the new owner creating a visual history of use.
