Drop-forged American steel head with a polished cutting edge, mounted on a 14-inch fiberglass handle that absorbs shock and won’t crack like wood. Sheathed leather edge guard for safe carry. The 4-inch cutting blade splits kindling cleanly, clears trail brush, drives tent stakes, and does light limbing on small camp wood.
The car-camping axe. Used at deer camp, by Boy Scouts, hunting cabin tool kits, and as the trunk axe for ice-storm power outages. Pairs with Estwing’s bigger 26-inch chopping axes for full firewood-prep duty.
Estwing forges hand tools in Rockford, Illinois — operating since 1923.
