Great Hatchets. I inherited mine from my Father. It has processed a lot of smaller wood at out Camps as well as processed a lot of Game over the Years. We did change it a bit of course. We wrapped the Shank below the Head with some Hockey Tape to make it easier to hold and we reprofiled the edge.
My gf found one at the thrift store a few months back I can't tell you how cool that was she did that. It's not the classic like yours but still super nice. Now you make me want to go to the back yard and test it out. Great review!
Mine was passed down to me when my father died. It is now more than 50 years old and still completely usable. The stacked leather grip loosened a bit over the decades so I've recently overwrapped it with tennis racket grip tape. You really don't find many products that last like this little hatchet. I have fond childhood memories associated with it. I'll pass it on to my son as my dad did for me.
My favorite camping and survival hatchet is the very similar Ochsenkopf OX 270 made in Solingen, Germany. The handle is made of (100% waterproof) rubber instrad of leather layers and it has no nail-puller, but exept this it it looks pretty much the same. Very tough axe! You can strike it in an 8" dia. 16" long oakwood log, flip it all over and hammer it upside down (axe-back ahead) on the "anvil-log" to split the firewood. An absolute reliable companion, 100% recommended!
Looks like a very good hatchet indeed. I do the same thing my friend I buy something lay it down somewhere and then forget I have it and find it six months later LOL. Thanks for sharing brother.
Estwing hatchets and hammers are one of the best. The leather grip feels good but my 22oz framing hammer is rubber. Nice to find stuff you forgot about huh ? Pretty nice being sharp enough to cut curls, and not bad on the crosscut.
22oz is a heavy framing hammer for belt carry! Yes it is always nice to find stuff you forget about my wife calls it Justin museum lol. It curls very well!
Say Heah my Friend, I believe it's (E S T W I N G) and not E A S T - W I N G. Anyhow, I also got a Nylon Sheath for mine because it fits my belts better. Infact I have (2) of them, one with the Leather Sheath. Infact that one I had for a while and the sheath is leather and American made. I agree with you, It's a awesome Hatchet. I also just made another Afternoon Delight Trio, I included my Spyderco Puukku, and my EZ KUT WOW Folding Saw. With this Trio, I can get by with my makeshift Haversack, Oh, my Flexcut Carving Jack and my Gerber Multi Tool. Dilly Dilly.,,.p
i woudnt buy one today, poorly made now , lots of broken hatchets from this company....doesnt pay to cheapen your materials for the sake of extra profits
When I was a kid growing up, this was THE hatchet you had to have for camping ad hunting. I'm glad to see they are still around!
Me too they are still going strong!
Excellent hatchet for desert brush!🏜️🪓... Excellent post...🍺
Thanks
Covered it handle-to-head with electrician's splicing tape. The best hatchet.

Great looking hatchet. Would look great on the side of my pack. Love the handle. From what I have heard their failure rate is pretty small. Fun video.
It sure would. I do not see it failing it is solid!

Nice hatchet. I am going to keep my eye open for one. Thank you for the video, Justin and Jana
They are sweet for around the camp or yard to heavey to pack carry

The Ochsenkopf is a solid axe too for the price.

Thanks Grant!
I've see these hatchet before at lowes or home depot Looks nice.
They are sweet thanks
Great video,thanks for sharing,
Thanks it is a keeper!
Used to own an Estwing framers hammer. Best hammer I ever owned! Great product! Goggles for the "safety sallies" are a must, lol!
They are a good one but i carry the Stiletto 16oz Framing Hammer milled Face. Safety sallies get your goggles out lol
Don't forget to check out part 2 of my video from yesterday, the "James Bay Trapper knife ", it's worth your while!
Done deal i sent you a pm for it as well and shared it. Have a good weekend Craig
Never used it but knows it's a great hatchet. Tell ya what, it is a good hatchet. I have one, used it, and its great.

That's a really nice looking hatchet i like the leather sheath cool test and review ✌️️
It works well thanks
that's a great hatchet,they should prove out great as the hammers do.take care
Outstanding company and tools
Nice hatchet, when I make shavings with my axe I grab the axe itself and not the handle.
Maybe that works for you also better , Take care !
Most of the time i use a hatchet or a axe when carving wood by the handle it has more snap and control for me
Hard to beat a Estwing! She will drive a pole barn spike! LOL!! If you are good!! :)
The hand is sore after driving pole barn spike all day lol:)
Damn right brother, safety first! Nothin worse than wood chips in the eyes!
It is not fun at all! Lots of new younger guys and girls have been watching i thought it was time to put that out there. Be safe not sorry!
All of us, all ages need a good reminder every now and then. Thanks brother!
I agree stay safe and have a good day!
thats a really nice looking hatchet
Thanks it works well!
Nice! Hell of a lot better than my old coghlans axe :)
I have the collection of hatchets and axe thanks
Just bought one today. Intend to implement it into my backpack & gear.
Awesome they are a good solid axe. It is heavy for the pack but will work for the short trips
I keep it under my bed for home defense
This is Great for HD
@@guns4funcajanajustin I agree bro. Thanks. And good luck on your channel here
great review! cool music.
I used to sell Estwing tools, and we had a box full of broken ones, mostly hammers.
It must of only been the Rubber Mallet or the California Framing Hammer. LMAO
thix axe is very rock solid i have this still stay sharp
They stay sharp for a long time i sharpened mine once.

Estwing it is i spoke to soon. A puukko knife will go with the Estwing and a saw. A perfect camp tool set up.
Have you replied to every f'n video on the internet?
i have the same one cept mine doesnt have the nail puller or the nice leather sheath.. good review bro!
Cool deal thank bro!
Thank you very much. Good test. My ax brother gave me this ax and sent it to Ukraine!
Thanks my friend!
It's Not EASTWING it's ESTwing! The. Leather sheath is not tooled, its stamped! If you're going to do a review at least get the name right!
It's not EASTwing it's ESTwing.
Yep we know
Nice review.
estwing made in america enough said
If that hatchet weighs 1.9 ounces it's worthless.
One point nine ounces...bs One pound nine ounces maybe.
That is too sharp 😬
It is razor sharp
1.9 ounces...?
The whole hatchet weighs I thing the newer ones might be 1.6lb somthing like that
How good is it for splitting kindling? My old kindling axe broke and I need a new one.
It work very well for kindling small logs at the camp it makes a perfect home building hatchet as well
@@guns4funcajanajustin thanks man
nice hatchet brother, god bless yi, whyd uou go back to old intro
Thanks! Lots of my videos are filmed months ahead of time not all but most. I will use the new one full time soon.
Oh I got ya
Knuckle bump! Did you get my sticker yet. And a pm is privite message
Nah not yet
Looks nice but doesn't compare to gransfors or even fiskars.
I own those as well. The Gransfors Bruks and the fiskars are my go to axe's
weird , a notch for pulling nails ..on a hatch . I have this hatch but no notch , I like it better without it no need.
I like a notch ever time i get one so i can use it in the woods and at work
What's is your favorite axe or hatchet
It is the Gränsfors Bruk hands down!
I had the same one, lent it out, never got it back
That sucks!
" I'll do a review" then you go on to say " I've never used it"
It is always used!
And says EAST-wing instead of EST-wing. Can’t even say the name right, but knows enough to review it. 🤣
i woudnt buy one today, poorly made now , lots of broken hatchets from this company....doesnt pay to cheapen your materials for the sake of extra profits
Some companys do that but i sure cant say they did
