Fixing A Loose Hatchet Head 👉 Hanging a Hatchet

In this video, I demonstrate how I fixed a hatchet that came across my sharpening bench. The hatchet head was loose on the handle. This is a very unsafe situation and can lead to serious injury if the head flies off during use.
I showed how I removed the head from the handle. How I corrected the handle to accept the head again, and how I installed the head back on the handle.

What kinda prices do you charge for something like this, and then standard pricing for knives etc? What kind of time range does a typical western chef knife take? What's your Japanese knife sharpening equipment?

[@capnmatt41]

Hi Scott, I'm not sure that I charged extra for this, but generally I charge $10 for sharpening a hatchet and match the handle fee for installing it. Meaning that if a new handle cost $20 I charge another $20 to install it.
Standard pricing is on my website: americanedgesharpening.com/pages/pricing
I don't have specific equipment dedicated to Japanese knives.
