Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I'm a Boy Scout leader, and once you spend five hours in a far away hospital Emergency Room with a lad who was injured by unsafe blade use, you don't want it to happen again. You won't encounter any loose hatchet heads on this baby because the head and shaft are forged of one piece of fine steel. Its effective handle design of leather washers over a steel shaft is safe, comfortable, and cushioned. There also is a `hammer' tool at the `pal'l of the hatchet, and a nail puller notch at the `back' of the blade The Estwing hatchet is not heavy, nor is it designed for heavy work. The Boy Scouts of America recommend any piece of wood larger than the diameter of your arm be sawn instead of chopped with an axe or hatchet. The boys in our Scout Troop are forever borrowing my personal Estwing to cut kindling because it is light and well-balanced. . It is less likely to cause arm fatigue from extended use than a heavier, wooden-handled hatchet. Its blade is thinner than most hatchets and its head is tapered, making it very easy to sharpen. My Diafold Double Sided, Fine-Coarse (DMFWFC)sharpener makes quick work of any dull blade, the Estwing's notwithstanding. I really, really like this tool. It is great for Outdooors use and also comes in handy on construction/destruction projects around the house. Take good care of it, and your grand kids will be using it on their childrens' campouts.
