   This axe is one for the tools you should have in your collection just because it’s awesome. It feels solid and has a nice heft in your hand, but feels very well balanced. You can tell that you can do some damage with this axe just from its weight. There’s also a cutout in the head of the axe that helps reduce weight but this tool still feels great in your hands. The rubber handle is a nice anti vibrational touch and allows for a lot of grip. The blade itself is very sharp. I tried doing a few test chops on a live, couple inch thick branch I needed to get rid of outside, and it only took a handful of low effort whacks (mostly using just the weight of the axe itself) to sever the branch. Very easy to use. I haven’t had a chance to test the gut hook end of the axe but judging be the blade, it’s bound to cut well. Another great thing is the axe comes with a sheath that buttons closed nicely and has hang points to hang it. Included in this sheath is a nice little pouch for a sharpening stone. It’s a nice accessory to have and there are some instructions that tell you how to sharpen the blade after soaking the stone in water, etc. This axe is just a a great all around package.

   The size and grip were great for short-term use and seems well made. It is also very easy to keep clean and stow with other gear. The grip could have had a bit more padding to make it more comfortable to use over a longer period of time but it was not a huge ordeal for the limited use I could apply it to. It is something I can see keeping in camping gear.

   Estwing made a hit with this axe. I really like how sturdy this axe is. Estwing as a company makes some the finest tools you can buy. This hunters axe is no exception. It cleans up very nice. The axe came with its own sharpening stone. It came very sharp and it makes short work of separating joints of bigger game. Estwing really did come with some good here.

   To me, Estwing was always the construction hammer and hatchet company. I would have never thought of them for hunting tools, but they’re definitely a name I trust! The quality of this hunters axe is exactly what you would expect from Estwing, outstanding! It’s well balanced, feels solid, lightweight, and sturdy. The grip is comfortable in your hand and the factory edge is actually pretty sharp. This would be perfect for getting through that pesky breastplate and the gut hook is convenient as well and with the extra leverage from the handle, it likely very easy to pull through even the toughest hides. This will definitely be coming with me to the ranch this year!

   Although I have not been able to test it out yet it appears to be well made, durable and of excellent quality. I would reccomend this item to any hunter, fisher or survivalist. The grip fits my hand well and would be great for the zombie apocalypse! The axe is well balanced in my hand and does not feel like a burden while using it.It comes with belt pouch and sharpening stone.
