Hatchet

A hand-axe designed with a sharp blade to chop and split wood on one side and a hammerhead on the other. It is both a useful tool and an effective weapon in the right hands. While some hatchets found in the wasteland were purpose-made, others are makeshift tools, typically made from a salvaged claw hammer with a sharpened blade bolted, tied, taped, or otherwise affixed between the claw.

Hatchets can accept the following mods which are installed with the Repair skill:
