This is the best axe/hatchet I’ve ever used! Just like the title says, it’s the greatest! When I received it, it was in perfect condition. I’ve used it many times and have been impressed every time. It splits hardwood as well as softer woods like pine. Works great to limb a tree or split wood. Its a nice heavy duty, well made, strong piece. The sheath is very nice as well, great material and durable. It also has belt slits cut into it so you can wear it on your belt. I would recommend this to anyone.
Nice axe. Perfect for car camping. Nice axe. It’s probably too big and heavy for a backpacking axe, but for car camping and motorcycle camping (why I bought it), it is far better than the cheap camping hatchets you’ve seen. This thing is solidly built, well-balanced, and comes with a sharp edge. Note that the head design doesn’t flare quickly like a true splitting axe. The blade stays thin for a bit before widening. Smarter axe purists can probably explain better, but from what I’ve read, this head design enables better/deeper…
An axe to last a lifetime The attached image shows the Estwing E44A that I purchased over 8 years ago, along with the one I just purchase. As you can see these axes hold up under wear quite well. I simply wanted another. Since I purchased the original you can see that the sheath’s have been changed from leathre to nylon. I’m assuming this is a cost savings effort but the nylon appears to be stout and well made, so I’m not terribly upset by this.
