This is more of a mid way between an axe and a hatchet.
It’s a very nice axe/hatchet. The look reminds me of a hatchet my grandfather had in his camper and used every time we went camping and fishing here in Utah. The build quality is top notch especially at this price point for something that is not just show worthy but very functional and usable. I have no doubt this will be around for me to pass on to my kids.

Superb kit piece–for urban or wilderness use
Love Estwing’s solid construction! I took the stickers off, got their residue off with Goof Off, and did a light oil. I didn’t have any need to sharpen mine–it came ‘axe sharp’ and as I don’t confuse my axe with a straight razor, that’s just right. I know some people have this thing where every cutting tool has to be ‘shaving sharp’, but there are actual reasons why the sayings are ‘shaving sharp, knife sharp, axe sharp’ to show the different edges you should sharpen each tool to. Although the two Customer Q&A answers here say it comes with a sheath, mine didn’t. (UPDATE: 1/7/16 I saw that they now sell the sheaths for their line up at their home website, I called their customer service and got a sheath for my axe for $5.60. Very happy–both with the friendly customer service rep and getting a sheath. Sure you can go get a custom one for fifty plus bucks, but if you just want a cover, this is sweet. I know, I know $5.60?! Don’t freak out, this sheath is solid. Slim fitting, quality made, four snap closure–two at the bottom tips to keep the edge from sliding down and poking you, two on extenders to keep the neck in place securely. Open all four, slide head in, tap it gently against the ground (like holding a toilet plunger) to get the head to slide all the way in so the tips don’t block the point snaps, then snap everything into place. It has a nice tight loop on the back to slide your belt through or to give an attachment point to your pack or vest. Very nicely made, better than Condor. I love the slim neat fit–most axe head sheaths are overdone in bulk, this isn’t. Sure, it isn’t a ‘fast’ insert. Don’t care. I wanted a solid sheath and got it. And you can get a matching color for your axe if you axe for it–mine is blue so I got the blue sheath sent.)Love Estwing.Don’t look at this baby and think just wood use–like the tomahawk, this axe is built to take on the urban environment. I recommend looking through the reviews under the black version for the LE review of it, definite eye opener. Entry, exit, breaching, etc. This means that not only can it do basic wilderness chores but it can also be extremely handy in disaster/chaos. Which makes it a seriously useful tool for your kit.I got the blue version because it looks LESS badass than the black. Yeah, I know, but it comes in handy sometimes to look less tactical.Get it. Then get more for your friends/family. Though, if you’re gifting to a male, go for the black version. Gave the black version of the tomahawk to my brother and am giving the black version of the double to a male friend–the black version is definitely awe inspiring. As in they instantly get this look in their eyes and start eyeballing the area for something to destroy. :)Seriously, though, this is one of the best tools for a huge area of use kit-wise.

USA made quality with accurate edges
Strong forged American made steel double blade mini axe. Excellent weight and balance. Used for camping and log splitting. Nice durable finish coating on surface. Ergonomic shock absorbing handle that minimizes vibration well. The best camping asset with effective functionality.

Review from someone that DOESN’T use it against trees…
I’ve had this particular axe (the double bit) for approximately a year now and I felt like I needed to give Estwing some love and write a review. I’m kind of a “knife/tomahawk” guy and own a couple of tomahawks however I wanted to review this for one reason. I actually use this in my line of work (ie LE work). I wanted to give a made in the US product a go and I couldn’t beat the price. Once I got it I realized this tool is pretty substantial. It looks like a mating beween a viking hand axe and something you would pick up at Lowes…so the sexy factor..yea it’s not as “tacticool” as others but this thing tears some Ass.I’ve used it mainly in raids, I’ve destroyed numerous security cameras with it, hacked my way through a trailer door with it, tore up some floor boards, destroyed a sentry brand safe with it (I’ve actually breached 8 safes with this bad boy), smashed door knobs, hacked open a 5 gallon water jug filled with illegal contraband (took me four hits, 5 gallon water bottles are thick…try to stab one with a good knife like a Ka-Bar and see what happens). Now some people knock the nylon sheath and yea I won’t lie, something with Kydex and a MOLLE attachment would be sweet, but my solution was pretty simple. I carry it on my armor carrier using a D-Cell flashlight ring, same principle like a medieval knight would of used for a hand axe. On the sheath are a couple of snap buttons. I made a loop with some 550 cord and attached it to the top of the sheath. I unbotton two of the snaps and kind of jiggle it on. Slap it my ring and I’m ready to rock. Once I need it I just slide it out the ring pull the sheath off and start wailing.The edge sharpens up fine as long as you know how to sharpen an axe. I really have abused this thing and it keeps on going. I clean it off touch up the edge a bit and thats the only maintenance. If you want it for camping I think it would be great for that, but I have a different axe for that so If you’re in the market for a tactical hawk’ and If you’re someone (ie cop, operator, mil) that actually USES tactical hawk’s for destroying stuff…then this is your gal right here.

Nice little ax.
Good solid ax. Ax head is a bit small for my taste but not so small that it prevents use. It came quite sharp but the edge was “rough”, a little time spent with a fine stone and it’s perfect. Its weight is respectable, you can feel the steel, so to speak. The handle is akin to one you’d find on a decent hammer but it’s long enough to fit both hands on should you need to. The ONLY reason (and it’s a nit picky one admittedly) that I didn’t go 5 stars is the ax head, between the blades, is rough and bumpy, reminding me of poor drop forging. A bit more grinding would have eliminated the problem so I gigged the manufacturer for laziness, lol.All in all you could do much worse than this little bugger especially for the price paid.

It’s absolutely awesome, worth every penny
Amazon Customer –
Not sure why I bought this except that its made in America and really is kinda cool to see and very strong.Still have no good practical reason for it but I like it never the lessIf the price is right for you get it…really fun to hold.Yes I own real scandanavian axes and 1920’s Canadian made puget sound clippers etc but this one is just a whimsical weird construction double bit oddity for my collection

Does its job when it comes down to light firewood duty for sure. Light and dexterous, easy enough to swing. Still haven’t test the full capabilities of this hatchet in terms of throwing or demolition, but so long as one is mindful to keep the edge sharp and intact I’m pretty sure this thing is indestructible. Looks fairly badass too so extra points on the intimation factor to boot. Cheers

Einfach grandiose Qualität. Nicht einfach zu werfen, aber bis auf den Griff, unverwüstlich. Der Griff ist für ein Wurfgerät ungeeignet, ist auch schon defekt.Dennoch würde ich sie immer wieder kaufen
C.G. –
Lieferungen war zügig und alles ist super und leicht geschärft angenommen. Das Beil wirkt sehr robust. Ich hab es zum werfen auf Holz Ziel Scheiben gekauft. Schaut auch echt schick aus, zum hacken ist es auch sehr gut geeignet, man könnte jede Seite für den gewünschten Zweck anschärfen und erspart sich somit das mitführen eines zweiten Beiles.Ich lass es aber so wie es ist, stumpf wird es von selbst, man braucht keine scharfe Axt zum werfen. Näheres kann ich euch in paar Monaten sagen
