Title: I got the Estwing sharpened sledge hammer
Post by: Syph007 on August 06, 2017, 05:39:05 AM: They call it the fireside friend. :D Its ridiculously heavy for carrying or backpacking but damn it splits wood well. :D

This my 5th Estwing. Probably the least practical, but it does double as a hitting and splitting tool!

Glad to hear they work as well as I imagined :tu: :salute:

To assist with boarding other boats during your time as a canal pirate??

:D :D :D

I had a multifuel stove and a woodburning range with full oven. Most of my "log bothering" activities were to feed those two hungry beasts :D

Ah to be young again. I borrowed my dad's estwing hatchet back then for fort making too. He never cared as long as I put it back where I found it. :)
