Hey guys, I could really use your input here, I’m no blade expert.
I need to replace my 30-y/o estwing hand axe, and I’m at a loss in finding a replacement. I found and purchased the current version of the same hand axe I already had, but it is not the same. The balance, the finish, the handle, even he grind just feels…off…like, cheaper feeling , if that makes sense.
I have seen some really expensive hand axes online, and I wouldn't mind paying extra for a high-quality hand-forged American-made piece, but I don’t want to overspend for ego or buy an expensive collector’s item when I plan to use it in the field.
What suggestions does INGO have? Is there a standout hand axe I should know about?
Thanks in advance for reading my thread!
