I wish I still had the hatchet I took on my trapline for many years but I lost it through the ice in a muskrat swamp around ‘62 or ‘63.
It was a shingler’s hatchet with half the handle painted red. There was a nail-pulling notch in the bottom edge of the blade that was perfect for bending and twisting wire.
