Estwing Sportsman Axe Review

If your looking for a solid, easy to handle axe for chopping kindling or logs for your burner, look no further. I am aware that there are other better quality wooden handled axes, hand forged in Sweden which are excellent but you cant get one of those axes for this price !!This is a well made, extremely sharp axe that comes with a leather sheath that you can if required attach to a belt.--MAT, UK

Estwing hammers and axes are now the only tools I will use as i have tried the rest and now will only settle for the best. The one piece construction and the quality of the build means that it never lets you down. The balance is sweet particularly in the 20 ounce range. Worth the extra cost over the £5 hammer with soft faces and axes that blunt within a few strikes.--des mc anally, UK

How to use an axe?

1. Place the wood that you are going to chop in the middle a chopping block that can be the base of a tree or a sturdy table. 

2. Lower yourself onto one knee in front of the chopping block. This position can balance the body when you are swinging the axe. Generally, if you are a righty, your right knee should be on the ground. If not, your left knee should be on the ground.

3. When you are holding the axe with one hand, use the other hand to steady and position the wood.

4. Bend at the elbow to swing while keeping your wrist and hand straight. Target the same spot every time when chopping until you have cut the wood into pieces.
