Great axe with great balance! It works very well clearing small trees and branches along fence lines. I wouldn’t abuse it by trying to split fire wood though. The axe head is a bit small for that.

went on a week long canoe trip and cleared over 3km of blowdown with ease, single chopping 4" trees all day long, bashed a few good chunks out of it going into some rocks but it was use error and easily fixed with a file on the trail, overall the length sleek full tang handle makes for the Best Adventure Axe ive ever had the pleasure of using 10/10 would reccomend

… ein hohles Rohr als Stihl prellt stark beim Hacken. Habe auch die kurze Handaxt; diese ist massiv. Da prellt nix. Würde mir das Teil nicht nochmals kaufen.

Fantastica

Una hacha de primera calidad es una sola pieza forjada, buen equilibrio al cortar y sobre todo bien afilada la recomiendo totalmente

I got the Estwing E-45A Campers axe a couple days ago and I am very pleased with what I received. The axe was on backorder for a couple weeks but I was informed of the status of my order several times during my wait. I am very glad I purchased this axe. I have used a half axe about this size about 45 years ago and found them very handy when camping and at Boy Scout Camp. Full sized axes were just too big for most scouts. If they used them they worked themselves to death and would stop. Then you couldn't get them to help again. Of course this was when scouts could use axes and sheath knives. I still have a couple full size axes but wanted to see if these were still as easy to use as I remember. This is a great tool and is of the highest quality.First, the sheath is old school and made of beautiful thick tooled leather. The sheath is heavily stitched and has strong rivets and double snaps. The fit is snug and a very safe way to transport the axe. It is well tanned but was a little dry so the first thing I did was to wipe it down with neatsfoot oil. I recently saved a old leather sheath for a 18 " machete that had been in a shed for twenty years with neatsfoot oil it took weeks but it is restored to almost perfect condition. You don't see much neatsfoot oil around today.The axe blade is beautiful and just the right size for my uses now. The edge was rolled a little when I checked it but with a few licks across a steel that was cleared up. I can use this thing without killing myself. I can even use it with one hand if need be. The stainless was very smooth and well brushed to a medium shine. The shaft appear to go all the way through the handle. I can't guarantie that it goes all the way through the handle but if is like several of my other Estwing tools it does. The grip is designed to absorb vibrations and does so very well. If it last as well as my others I will be passing this down to my grandson with the other Estwing tools.I would not carry this if I was backpacking but think it will be the best general camp tool that you can have if you like an evening fire. Now if I was in a Zombie invasion I think this would just about be the perfect tool/weapon. It has enough wight to pierce a skull but not so much weight to cause you to over swing wasting time and energy.I would recommend this axe from this dealer in a skinny minute and if I needed another I would have no second thoughts about its quality. I Highly Recommend This Axe--------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
