    Estwing campers axe 26″

    The axe appears to be well built. I like the long handle. The grip is comfortable and will be nice when you work up a sweat chopping. The reason I gave it 4 stars is the head came chipped in a few spots. If I buy a new axe I like to be the one to put the chips in it. On a positive it is fairly sharp out of the box. The sheath is very durable with the ability to loop it through a belt

    Met overall expectations, but steel quality is yet to be tested during extended use

    This axe is well-made and is generally what one would expect from an Estwing tool. I have an Estwing framing hammer that I bought more than 40 years ago, so that’s what influenced my decision to buy this axe. The main attraction was the single-piece construction (axe head and handle formed out of one piece of metal). The axe came reasonably sharp, but required some touch-up prior to use. It is lightweight, yet long and heavy enough to allow for efficient chopping. My only concern is that the axe slipped once and hit into the dirt, deforming the blade edge slightly. Although no axe should be pounded into soil, I questioned the hardness/quality of the steel. Overall good quality, but time will tell after more use.

    Still Testing…(Updated 5-4-15)

    So far I have only used it around the house. I will update after my next camping trip. The axe would not easily split seasoned blocks of pine. Axe is MUCH lighter then I expected which is good and bad. Good for carrying, bad for splitting blocks of wood. Decent sized axe not too big and not a small hatchet. Construction seems well made as expected. Lowest importance is the looks. But the axe looks amazing. I do not own nor have I used the blue one to compare. They suckered me into this one simply for the blacked out style. I would have bought the blue one if the metal head of the axe was blue instead of unfinished though.**Update** I took this axe out on my camping trip over the weekend. The axe performed well in the few different things I used it for. I used it to create two posts for my tarp. The axe cut the small 1 to 1.5 in diameter branch in one swing as well as stripped off the smaller branches with no effort at all. I found a larger branch of roughly 4″ in diameter and used this axe to chop it down to small logs for the fire. The axe made fairly quick work of the log and would have performed better if I was a better lumberjack Lol. Of the blows that landed in the same area it was quickly chopped up usually 4 or 5 hits in the same area in alternating angles cut the branch enough to split it from the rest very easily. The axe also split blocks of pine I brought with me rather easily. The axe was a good investment in my eyes and still maintained its edge even after a weekend of me using it. For this I am giving it four stars. I will update this over time and adjust as needed.

    Quality isn’t on par with other Estwing tools.

    Axe just doesn’t have that solid-in-the-hand feel that Estwing has most of it’s tools. handle feels like hollow aluminum. Swings well and is very light which is what you want in a campers axe. Just has the feel of more of a toy than a workers axe. Great beginner axe for teenager I think.

    Half axe but not half assed…

    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——————————————————————————–.
