Title: New (to me) Estwing Hatchet
Post by: SAK Guy 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.
