I've had several of these axes and they hold up well and last a long time. It's probably one of the best of its kind available -- very tough. This particular one is only 12" long, but I was getting it for my step-daughter for her camping, some light chopping and driving tent stakes. For my use, I've got a larger one by the same company..

Everything is great except that the handle’s curvature works against you when using the hatchet head backwards as a hammer to drive in a wedge during logging. It would be lighter with a wooden handle but would not last as long.

I still have my Dad's Estwing hammer he bought in1955. All you need to do is sand and varnish the handle when the finish wears off. Never break a handle, because there isn't one, it is all drop forged, one piece. Take care of it and it should last at least three generations!

I own several Estwing hatchets/axes. Let me say that they only cost about $10 to $15 more than the foreign-made stuff - only the quality is about 300 percent better in the Estwing products. Don't waste your money on the Asian-made junk; Estwing is the best.

Like this very much. Wanted a older version with a leather sheath. Found a new old stock one. Very pleased with purchase.
