## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a particular reason this is made from carbon steel instead of stainless? Won't this axe rust once the powder coat wears off?**
A: Carbon steels tend to be tougher and easier to sharpen. Even stainless steels rust, it just takes more for them to do so. You will need to properly care for the axe either way so they use a steel that can take the beating far better. Outdoors tools aren't meant to just sit somewhere for a year. A light coat of mineral oil every so often will be fine. Or you can just give it a patina once the coating wears.

**Q: Is the head wide enough for splitting or narrow for chopping?**
A: It's a short axe, useful for felling small trees for firewood or building an emergency shelter.; however axes can also split wood. The wedge of a hatchet is wider, which is why they're better for splitting wood, and lousy at felling trees for firewood or building shelters. Even though I grew up shooting and hunting, raising livestock, using knives and axes, I never used a hatchet until in my 40s. Then I bought an Eastwing short axe, and enjoyed the increased functionality.

**Q: Had anyone used this axe for throwing? Like axe throwing for sport**
A: Not by any means an experienced axe thrower by any means. But there is a local, indoor, axe throwing experience place that uses these EXACT axes as the base model. They let you pay an extra $5 for a different selection of axes. But as far as throwing these go, I was able to pick it up fairly quickly using this axe (well balanced). There are for sure better axes to use for competitive axe throwing that don't have bouncy rubber parts.

**Q: Does the axe ship having already been sharpened or will I need to sharpen it when it arrives?**
A: Came sharp enough to split small logs (12-16 inch) without much effort. I personally sharpened it to shaving sharpness and it's a nice, practical piece to show off.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light and durable
*by G***E on February 23, 2024*

Bought this for my son after my old axe head became too loose to pound back on. This small axe is perfect size for camping, the concave wedge shape of the head makes it easier to split wood and pull the axe out, and the one piece construction seems very sturdy. The edge is easy to sharpen and can get knife style sharp.The handle is comfortable to use and does not slip when wet, but I would prefer a leather handle like the other ESTWING axes since it begins to rub by your pinky if you use this axe when it is wet.Overall, great axe for camping and making bonfires and it is a much better quality axe than the Gerber Chinese made ones which chip the edge easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Know the limits.
*by B***Y on February 23, 2024*

I know I keep saying to know the limits in my reviews but it is true.This little camping ax, or hatchet, is very sturdy and I know I'll never need another one just as long as I do right by it; if I do not push the limits.The weight is good. The metal/steel, whichever type it is, is very hard and sturdy. It is quite sharp out of the box. I enjoy it as one big molded piece of steel. It will certainly be on my side and I think I'll never need another one if I take care of it properly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best hand axe on Amazon, IMO
*by C***R on July 21, 2018*

An axe that was passed down through the generations finally gave up the ghost when I tried to use the wooden handle as a lever to split a small tree stump. I carefully researched the various axes on Amazon for a modern replacement and chose this one. I was not disappointed. Here are the pros:1. Very sharp edge, beautifully polished2. One piece forge steel shaft - no more broken wooden handles3. Impact absorbing rubber handle, forget the leather stuff4. Sheath fits like a glove. It's designed to attach to your belt. Since the fit of the axe is tight it does take a bit of effort to remove the axe but once it's in there it's snug for walking or hiking.5. Good heft, not a light axe.I opted for the all black model, it's the cheapest. As my 60-year old axe with wooden handle lasted a while, imagine how long this Estwing one will!
