Camper's Axe - 14" USA Made Black Hatchet with Tent Stake Puller & Hi-Vis Orange Shock Reduction Grip - EO-25A

Substantial weight and quite sharp. Should be perfect for my needs and a great value.

Bought this for my son after my old axe head became too loose to pound back on. This small axe is perfect size for camping, the concave wedge shape of the head makes it easier to split wood and pull the axe out, and the one piece construction seems very sturdy. The edge is easy to sharpen and can get knife style sharp. The handle is comfortable to use and does not slip when wet, but I would prefer a leather handle like the other ESTWING axes since it begins to rub by your pinky if you use this axe when it is wet. Overall, great axe for camping and making bonfires and it is a much better quality axe than the Gerber Chinese made ones which chip the edge easily.

I received this tool almost ready for use. The edge was well-shaped and the steel was coated with a thick, clear protective varnish. This is a good thing, but it could clog your wet-stone during first sharpening. I chose to remove the varnish from the edge with fine sandpaper on a flat block before sharpening with a puck-shaped wet-stone. Very little sharpening was required for use. The tool is beautiful, well-designed, comfortable in use, and the sheath is good. I recommend this brand over that other brand that is a similar color but not as well-made or well-prepared for first use.

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.

Great hatchet, solid construction, comfortable handle, it works great for busting up the small stuff. My only gripe is the sheath puts you at risk of cutting yourself when taking it off and putting it on.

Very good feel in the hand. Sturdy and well made. Great length to weight ratio.

Best hatchet ever. Had one of these hatchets I got from my dad when I was younger. Recently lost it in a house fire. Was very pleased to find the exact same hatchet all these years later on Amazon. Unbeatable hand feel, good edge retention, good balance and weight. The perfect hatchet, in my opinion.

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

Tutto quello che ci si aspetta in più arriva veramente affilata, per la fretta di dare un occhiata togliendola dal fodero quasi mi tagliavo... quindi ottimo!

Apart from the fact it has manufacturing defects such as paint bubbles and not very sharp, its an amazing axe design with good shock dampening handle.

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 takes way too much effort compared to other affordable Axes to cut through, and it's smaller than expected, very expensive too, please look somewhere else

Verarbeitung schlecht sowie Rost an manchen stellen. Ging sofort wieder zurück! Für diese. Preis habe ich mir was anderes erwartet...
