Estwing Camper's Axe - 14" Hatchet with Forged Steel Construction & Shock Reduction Grip - EO-25A

El acero se siente de calidad y el mango es increíble, se nota que amortigua muy bien los golpes y no se resbala para nada.

It’s exactly what you need. It is heavy in a pack out however the hatchet can take a beating and it comes sharp and can be used as a hammer. Shape is good, I wanted the other version with the wood handle but it was to expensive. This is exactly the same but with a rubber shock absorbent handle. Feels durable and feels strong and comfortable in hand. Great price point, great product.

Produto de altíssima qualidade. Veio extremamente afiada e com uma bainha linda. Cabo encurvado para frente. Achei sensacional a pegada e o balanço. Indico de olhos fechados.

I have destroyed 3 other inexpensive small hatchets just splitting 12 inch oak for my grill and that's why I purchased this one because it's solid all the way through. I'm an old man so I use a 2 lb hammer to drive this hatchet to make small firewood for grilling, probably about 3/4 to 1 1/2 inches by 12 inches. All red and post oak with no bark. The hammer has eventually destroyed every hatchet I've used. Not this one... keeps a good edge and you can hardly tell that I've even used a hammer on it at all. Also it has very little to no vibration transfer through the handle. No doubt I could chop down a small tree but I use it for splitting small firewood and it's the best I've had. Side note...if you cook with charcoal... try cooking with oak only, no charcoal... you food will taste so much better... just saying

I’ve seen several reviews mentioning issues with the sheath—people struggling to open it and potentially injuring themselves when trying to remove the axe. Thanks to those reviews, I was extra careful when handling it. I discovered a simple solution: just rotate the sheath along the arc (as shown in the attached picture) and it slides in and out easily. Given the number of negative reviews about the sheath, I would suggest that the manufacturer add this picture to the product label, which would resolve the issue for good. As for the blade, it’s not razor-sharp, but that’s typical for most affordable axes on the market. I haven’t used it extensively yet, so I can’t comment on the steel quality at this point. However, the axe’s overall construction—made in the US—along with its shape, handle, and blade symmetry, is excellent. I’m giving it 5 stars for being a solid, well-made product from the US.
