Senior Survival Axe. Made in the USA
This is the best axe for all seniors. Light weight, easy to swing. Solid made axe and soft grip handle. I would recommend this fine axe to all senior outdoors men and outdoors woman. The handle is long enough to get both hands on it for a good swing. Excellent campfire axe. Made in the USA. The riveted nylon sheath protecting the axe head has a sewn strap so it can be worn on a belt. Light weight for back packing trips.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Head bends on impact. Soft steel that can't be hardened. Disappointing!!
The seller was AWESOME but Estwing apparently no longer makes a quality product. I had an Estwing axe 20 years ago that I used to cut down trees and rarely had to sharpen it. These new ones are a soft steel that can't be hardened (I tried in my forge). Everyone is complaining about the axe bending and the edge chipping or rolling. They are 100% correct. I'm just cutting little bushes and the edge dulls after just a few cuts. A whack at the base of the trunk of a 2" bush bent the head and twisted it. Such a shame. Estwing makes great hammers and used to make great axes. I hope they go back to hardening their axes again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Axe for the Woodsman and Woodswoman
I am a Canadian Canoe Guide in the summer and have led trips in northern Ontario for nearly 20 years. An axe in my pack is always one of my important tools from clearing portages to camp firewood, my axe gets used every day. I recently switched to an Estwing 26 inch Camper Axe because over the years, my wooden handled axes ended up rotting over time from sitting in water at the bottom of the canoe. The Estwing's all steel handle is an outstanding design, super durable and is my go-to tool. The only complaints that I have, is that the head is a bit thin for splitting wood and can bury deep in softer wood, and when the axe is old and worn as mine is, it is hard to see when you put it down in the woods to gather an armload of firewood. Also I wish it were about 3 inches shorter because when I have it on the side of my pack and I roll my canoe up to my shoulder, the handle catches the gunnel and often bumps up against the inside of the canoe when I carry it. The first two complaints are easy to remedy by just not using it to split and by putting some bright tape on the handle - mine is a bit worn and all of the blue came off. I recently bought the same exact Estwing for my wife who is also a northwoods canoe guide and she loves it. She and I have used Gransfors axes for years and she finally retired her shorter handles Gransfors for the Estwing. I would highly recommend this axe for backwoods travel and when I am not on trail, it lives under the seat of my 4x4 - ready for action. Sno DawgVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great quality, easy to use
This is a great quality axe and is small enough to fit in the back of my jeep or even a frame pack for camp outs or work around the yard. I highly recommend this for a lightweight cutting/splitting ax. It’s great for a splitting small logs. It is not designed to split larger logs, so I carry a small log splitting mail & wedge for the bigger logs. For cutting wood and cutting logs into shorter lengths, or cutting branches off of a fallen tree, this is a great tool.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Lightweight with great features
I love my new axe, it is light and comfortable to use. I am a small older woman and I had no problem using it to chop tree stumps in my back yard! I like that the portion of the handle near the head is steel, so If I miscalculate my aim, I will not break it, as could happen if the whole handle was wood.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Passed expectations
I knew buying the axe that it was going to be well made and durable, but I was very impressed when I put it to use after it was delivered. Being the grown kid I am and wanting to play with my new "toy", I went out and starting chopping on a few things (cedar,oak,blackjack,brush) and after about 30/45 mins I was amazed to the edge was still sharp and spared almost untouched. Definitely a good reliable tool, definitely buying another.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

This is my 3rd East wing E45A axe.
I keep one in my truck for emergencies, I keep 1 in my camping equipment and I keep 1 on my 4 Wheeler for the woods. They are a great investment they are super tough and they hold a very good edge and it's hard to destroy them. Buy one you will be pleased. Thanks FrankVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
