Believe me when I tell you that this is an instrument. Don't waste your money on a Chinese ax or hatchet. I can split enough wood for a nights campfire with this and it is still razor sharp. I take along a 2lb hammer in my camp gear and use this for a wedge on larger wood. The handle feels natural in your hand. Quality stuff that you can hand down from generation to generation. You'll love it.

The rivets in the handle are loose and rattle My only complaint

I've bought a few cheap foreign-made axes and hatchets over the years...and they simply do not feel good in the hands. Estwing (Made in the USA) makes a series of handsome looking hand axes that are well balanced and feel great when doing heavy chopping. Buying anything else is just a waste of your money. Estwing offer the absolute best value for your money if you want something that will last.

Very balanced, applies to all normal use of camping and outdoor activities. Very robust and of reasonable, easy to put on a backpack weight and size. It seems indestructible. The realilado is simple because the steel is not too hard, keeping the edge if not abused. The cover is sufficient for protection and is only necessary to review the edge a bit before using it. Is well sharpened, but missing remove tiny burrs and settle.

This hatchet/axe is PERFECT! One solid piece of quality steel and made in the USA. Very comfortable to hold and use. Perfectly weighted to fit comfortably in your hand and get the job done. You can't buy better quality than an Estwing. This will last forever. I'm SO glad I bought this.....you will be, too! I am a small woman and wanted a good quality camping hatchet that I could actually use without breaking my arm off. THIS IS IT! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
