Estwing Camper's Axe

[Jeremy L]

Does anyone know if the Estwing 26" Long Handled Camper's Axe is full tang? I know the hatchet and the 16" Camper's Axe are full tang, but I'm thinking that the tang on the long handled version doesn't extend into the last 10" of the handle. Does anyone have one of these axes and know for sure?

Thanks!

Grab one at the store and try prying with the tail end of it. Highly unlikely that Estwing sells stuff that isn't full tang at least to within an inch or so of the end.

The last part of the axe is a fiberglass handle... I am not sure how far it extends down but really don't think its full based off the feel.
( yes I own one)
For what its worth I have beat the snot out of it getting roots out of the ground. I had about 25 shrubs that a customer wanted removed to make room for some drain pipe.. I had to split the stumps after I sawed them off and then I had to cut a few dozen tree roots from 2in to 5in plus the shrub roots.

I was swinging that thing into the dirt all day like I stole it and no real edge damage.. It obviously wasn't shaving hair when I was done but I have respect for how well it did...
