Hank 2.0

The name Hank was inspired by a good friend and dedicated league member when I ran a venue.  Hank was the first of our league members to start dragging in carpenter hatchets for competition and over the space of 3-4 months brought in 4-5 variants.  In my opinion, all of them suffered from the same significant flaw; a small-ish blade.  Hank was loosing points simply for having a 3inch blade, so I created my take on a classic and named it in his honor. The Hank 1.0 is one of my more popular models but still not perfect, the shallow belly lost points from the curvature when buried deep, and the bit length was short the full 4" due to shrinkage during casting. With the new IATF rules excluding polls in overall length measurements, I decided to update the design to address ALL the issues and thus the Hank 2.0. It started by flattening out the bottom of the beard to prevent lost points due to penetration. Then I stretched the blade a bit to accommodate IATF rules. Combined this really jumped
