  Anyone have one?  I'm asking about a really small headed hatchet, a Mini axe.  Head is maybe 2.5 inches long. Maybe 10-12oz weight?  If you do have on, what do you use it on/for?  I've read forestry personnel use them for "Tree sounding"
  They are definitely too small to fell a tree of any size, but a sapling, but could do it with enough time.
  Perhaps hacking up a fish?
Just curious....

I have a tomahawk (Cold Steel Pipe Hawk).  Are you talking something like that?  Small head, although heavier than the 10-12 oz you're looking for.

  Allen, what do you use your hawk for? Light axe duty?  I guess if its sharp enough it could process fish, say, if you forgot a knife.

It serves the purpose that a camp hatchet does, with the added benefit that I get to throw it (badly, like Sean).  Yeah, it could probably process fish in a pinch.  It would probably work better if you reground the edge, but you'd be trading off slicing vs. chopping.
