I love a compact bolt gun with irons

Nice group of quality tools, should last a few generations!

Wow, another survival Hatchet, you’re gonna live forever at this rate

I wouldn't count on it. I'm 75 years old.

Is there any kind of guarantee on Survival Hatchets?

Do they work in normal situations like chopping wood or only life/ death stuff?

Nothing in life is guaranteed. The hatchets do work well in normal situations and one could save your life. For example, you're asleep in bed and you wake up and someone is on top of you choking you. You reach down beside the bed and grab your hatchet and Crack his skull. It's possible. The fact is, there is no telling how times throughout history a Hatchet or tomahawk has been used to good effect to survive.

What if they had a Survival Hatchet as well?

Cool. I quite fancy a Survival Hatchet, do I have to buy one or can I just call a normal Hatchet I already have a “Survival” Hatchet?

This is more my speed



Now if it was practical I'd love to go with this for survival.

But a 4lb double bit just isn't the easiest thing to bring along.

Great pic W! Very "Thunder Ranch", and I am sure that hatchet will work well in any scenario.

You can do anything you like. That's the great thing i like about being a US citizen. Living here 75 years and serving in the US army 4 years in the 60's to protect those freedoms makes me relish that freedom even more.

Steel handles ain't good for using nor carrying.

You need to tell Estwing that, there's no telling how many they have sold since 1923 when they went into business making steel handle hachets and other tools.

If you have a rifle with ammo, a pistol with ammo, navigation gear, knife and hatchet -- you're not in much of a survival situation.

My favored survival gear is a working truck with plenty of gas and a good road.

I struggle to go past a fiskars. The light weight and the sharpness are hard to beat.

Steel handle hitting apparatuses were made for construction sites for durability. Occasional use, not prolonged and with gloves. They are not for outdoor escapades. It's a great tool for the garage.

I had 3 and moved on. They seem soft. Easy to roll the edge and needs sharpening quite often.

Nobody said they weren't functional.
They're sold to people who want a tool they can use and abuse without care.
People who don't mind a tool that delivers extra shock to their elbow and isn't as nice to use for extended periods.


For a survival situation you hope to never be in the Estwing is probably a great choice, it won't be as nice to use but I'll get the job done and you will survive.
