ESTWING Carpenter's Hatchet - 13" USA Made Carpenters Axe with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction Grip - E3-2H

Wanted one of these since I was a kid. My own personal Tomahawk! Seriously I needed a hammer and a hatchet, so why not get this classic tool. Of course it's as good as the brand is and I'm very happy with it. Only reason didn't get the leather shaft version is because I needed a lanyard hole. Estwing should really remedy this. The axe blade was as dull as a butter knife, but I honed it up to arm hair shaving sharpness, so I'm glad I also got the Estwing sheath which really looks cool. 👍🏼👌

I love the Estwing line of tools and this hatchet is no exception. No, it doesn't come with a sheath / cover but with a little modification you can adapt a cover purchased separately to work well for this hand ax. Around camp, this is a truly multi-use tool.... It splits wood, hammers stakes, pulls some stakes or nails with the little notch under the blade, it cracks nuts....It slices, it dices, it.....oops Anyway, seeing some of the u-tube videos of idiots splitting wood with their knives and then bitc...umm, complaining when said knife breaks because of ABUSE just makes me shake my old head and wonder why they don't buy one of these well made hatchets.

Its an Estwing, What else is there to say. This thing is built lo last 100 lifetimes. I just wish it came with a sheath.

This is a great hatchet! American made, "full tang" the grip is perfect, and after chopping into some unknown, hard, dried up tree I didn't feel any fatigue or excessive shock. Fit into my lightweight, small, nearly empty backpack without being too cumbersome or throwing the weight off balance as I walked. The photos on the listings of this product and the rigger's axe are mixed up, the carpenter's hatchet is all steel with blue on the handle only, while the riggers has blue paint up the neck of it. Riggers axe is longer and has a waffle face in the hammer while this Carpenter's Hatchet is a smooth face. All in all great product and maintains it's edge!

It's an Estwing ax, however the edge on it is terrible from factory. Not a big deal if you know how to set up an edge but something to keep in mind if you're expecting perfection out of the box. Once the edge is set it is excellent and will last you for life.

solid little axe , best part is the handle.

Great quality

Not as pictured: - The metal above the handle has a blue coating - The Estwing logo is molded into the handle, not a yellow decal like the picture shows. Pet peeves: - I'm not a fan of the safety glasses warning that's permanently molded into the handle. It feels a little patronizing. - Had three paper stickers on it in addition to the tag, and the stickers did not peel off in one piece. Quality: The metal has lots of scratches, pitting, and rough spots. I don't think this will affect the functionality, but it's not pretty. The blade is not razor sharp, but it's good enough to chop wood.

good balance

Excellent axe for axe throwing. Meets the WATL standard and it extremely accurate with the flick. Big recommend for any axe throwers!

Great product wish it was a little bigger

The new Estwing hatchet is an exact replacement for the one I lost after 50 years of use.

Just as expected. Nice little hatchet.
