The Hatchet Head is the steel blade of a Hatchet, separated from its handle. It is a part for rebuilding the tool and a small piece of steel for smelting.
Fitted to a Medium Handle with the Assemble Medium Implement recipe, it becomes a Hatchet again. That recipe needs Maintenance level 1. A blacksmith can forge a new head with Blacksmithing level 4, and studying one teaches the Forge Axe Head recipe.
Most heads come from taking a worn Hatchet apart. The rest are forged. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
The Assemble Medium Implement recipe joins the head to a Medium Handle. A hammer, club hammer or mallet and a sharp knife are needed, and both are kept. The result is a Hatchet. The same recipe also rebuilds hammers, the Hand Axe and the Smithing Hammer from their heads.
The head can be sharpened on its own. The Sharpen Blade, Sharpen Blade Poorly with File and Sharpen Blade with Grindstone recipes all accept it.
The Research Craft option teaches Forge Axe Head. That recipe makes the larger head for a full Axe.
A spare head is small steel scrap. Smelt Steel From Small Steel Item turns it into one Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace. Smelt Small Steel Item melts it into a crucible of steel, also at an Advanced Furnace.
How to Get Hatchet Head
The Dismantle Medium Implement recipe takes a Hatchet apart with a hammer, club hammer or mallet. The tool is kept, and no skill is needed.
The Forge Hatchet Head recipe makes a new head at a Simple Forge or better. It takes four charcoal and one Steel Chunk (Pierced). A ball peen hammer, tongs and a metalworking punch are needed and kept. The recipe needs Blacksmithing level 4 and must be learned first.
