Wasteland Hatchet⧉

The Wasteland Hatchet heavily exaggerates the improvised, post-apocalyptic nature of the basic gathering tool. The hatchet head is forged from a jagged, asymmetrical piece of dark, heavily rusted scrap iron, seemingly hammered into a crude wedge shape rather than professionally cast. The blade is secured to a thick, unrefined wooden branch using messy, tight wraps of dirty beige cloth and frayed hemp cord. The entire tool looks incredibly desperate and unreliable, capturing the essence of low-tier survival crafting and desperate scavenging.
