New (to me) Estwing Hatchet
on: September 10, 2016, 05:03:26 AM
I had one before the fire so for 25 bucks I went for it...it still had the tags on it. Looks like it sat in a trunk or closet for the last 10-15 years. Lacquer finish on the grip is cracked and one of the plastic spacers has shrunk. These Estwings are good camp axes...had a Sedimentary rock hammer by them as well. It's about 13" overall.

:cheers:  I like them because you don't have to worry about broken handles. I have an old Douglass Carpenter's ax that helped build my house and went on every deer hunt/camping trip for the last 35+ years. It's still solid and sharp.  :2tu:

Better you have it than it sitting in someone else's trunk for another 20 years and never get used as it should be. :tu:

Very nice.
Myself, I use a spade more than a hatchet.

Was just looking at the Les Stroud hatchet that Chako picked up. Think you got a better deal.   :tu:
