    These quick-change straps are giving me a lot more wear out of the Citizen these days.

    Another thumbs up for Estwing. They are made here in Illinois and I go to their factory every now and then for pick ups.

    Hard to go wrong with an Estwing, guys. I've had at least one for all 47 yrs I've been bangin' nails. I've tried a bunch of others, but still EDC an Estwing, mostly that 20 oz curved claw in the pic--old guy's hammer. I've got a 22 oz straight claw in the truck, the same in the shop, a 20 oz curved claw leather grip in the Vermont house, and a 22 oz long-reach in the shed up there too. My sons all have Estwings as does my wife.

    The only one that ever failed me was a long-reach framer that I used a lot side-swiping to break off foundation snap-ties. I was taking the spring-braces out of a frame job, straddling one and swinging the claw end to dig in under the brace to free the nails. The head broke off, stayed under the brace-end, my arm and the handle swinging fully through and right into my junk. Just eye watering.... :eek:

    Could do Knives and Hammers. I've certainly got a lot of both.

    Just got this one today, micarta feels excellent. Action is a little stiff, just need to compulsively flip it a bit!

    Great idea! I'm a carpenter by day and bow string maker by night! That makes me hurt just thinking about the estwing blow to the junk! Lol I thought they were indestructible! Start a thread i'll post up..

    Have not noticed many lamented blades on folders like that before. Very Cool!
    Also like that SAK’s blade style, may hunt one down.
