The only thing I'm not wild about, the way it sits in the sheath makes it a little top heavy. But I could always trade out sheathes if it bothered me that much.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Estwing
They used to make a leather washer handled knife that matched their hatchet. They always sell for more than I’m willing to pay.
I’m sure the newer offerings are decent users but don’t appeal to me looks like wise

Re: Estwing
I've had a leather handled knife in my safe for years. The handle matches the hatchets and hammers. They are a nice well made knife.____Dave

The one I was thinking of has the same end cap as the hatchet.
Re: Estwing
They make a lot of different hammers. Very specific specialized ones. Their web site is amazing.FRJ wrote:They made a heck of a hammer.
Their hatchets and axes are awesome.
Re: Estwing
I should have asked, do they make them or who does it for them? Trouble with a lot of their stacked leather hammers and hatchets is the leather dries out, cracks and can fail. watching some YouTube videos no one seems to agree how to maintain them, or what the factory puts on the leather. I priced a new Titanium hammer "not theirs" at just over $90. Nice and said to not send as much shock to your hand or wrist. Me? I only know how to bend every nail made.
Re: Estwing
I prefer the blue rubber handles on my Estwing hammers.
They seem to last forever and are gripppy and offer a little cushion and shock absorption.

Re: Estwing
Seems Estwing has added some new knives. Figured I’d add them to the thread for future reference.
Re: Estwing
Interesting that they chose to make lock back and frame lock versions with the same blades. I can’t think of anybody else who has done this in the past.
Re: Estwing
Milwaukee does that and they are really good knives and flip open quicker than an auto. And yes, they are Milwaukee red.____Dave

Re: Estwing
I would probably pay too much for a stacked leather handle because I love my 33 yr old hammer but the design of the bowie does not turn me on.
Re: Estwing
From 1932! I had no idea The Estwing knife was that old.
