Not perfect, but decent for the money
So, most folks know Estwing makes long-lasting tools. This appears no different. I put it on my postal scale and the 38 oz weight checks out, if you were wondering. Both bits arrived very sharp, so that's nice. As has been my experience with other camping tools of theirs, the finish is not the greatest. The paint was already peeling when it arrived, and I am able to pull the paint off with literally nothing more than my fingernail. I was expecting that, though, so I already planned to strip it and repaint it to match the rest of my gear. There are also divots and other imperfections in the steel, but they shouldn't affect the function. For the price, it's not a bad deal and should last for many years if use (just don't leave it exposed to the elements).

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb kit piece--for urban or wilderness use
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2013
Color: BlueStyle: AxeVerified Purchase
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.

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024
Color: BlackStyle: Heavy DutyVerified Purchase
Solid as a rock, just like their hammers. I wasn’t sure how it would hold an edge. I’ve taken it camping 3 times now and I’m impressed. After cutting down a couple of 4-5” dead wood trees for firewood, and splitting them up, one side still had a sharp edge. I always carry a puck when camping, so I honed it. Its too heavy for backpacking but an awesome, dependable tool. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review from someone that DOESN'T use it against trees...
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2014
Color: BlackStyle: Heavy DutyVerified Purchase
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.

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
