I have absolutely NO use for this thing, but being obsessed with hand tools, sharp tools and weapons, this seems to appeal to me.

I have 2 Estwing hammers and absolutely LOVE my Estwing Fireside Friend while camping.

Why do I want this? They have a double bit hatchet as well.

I think id want one more if it didn't have the eagle head on it.
But I don't need one anyway.
Id rather have something else I don't need, like another BFH.

Now this however is one of my favorites:

x2 I love the fireside friend. best part about having bonfires out back is getting an excuse to use it.

As for the posted axe. I want the double bit version, though I have no idea what I would do with it

I have several Estwing hammers, 20 Oz leather washer grip, a 24 Oz framing hammer and a 25 Oz framing hammer but that the spazziest hunk of **** I've so far seen for sale by an otherwise reputable company.

You lot are either 13 years old or officewallas.

Looks about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Spazzy = kind of retarded.
Officewallas = during the Briitish raj in India there were people who's job was Chawallah which meant the person who made the tea, a Punkawallah was the bloke who flapped the fans to keep the boss cool so an Officewallah is what we sometimes call someone who just works in the office. The term Pencilneck also covers it.

Basically I think that the tool is one of those ****** stupid things that people call Zombie killing tools and of very little practical use.
Stanley Fubars being very close in uselessness to them and I honestly don't know anyone I dislike enough to give them one.

Its intended to make it lighter. Tomahawks, which this basically is (weapon not a tool), are for fast slashing and throwing (note the slightly exaggerated top tip in the blade), not crashing through armor.

Not sure how well that one would balance for throwing though. Handle seems like it would be pretty heavy.

Your from across the pond, so you probably wouldn't understand the history of "cowboys and Indians" that we have over here... There are reputable historical reenactment groups that stage 'hawk throwing contests...

I'll bet if someone posted one of those big armor smashing brutes, you might have a different tune to sing... :beer:

Possibly so but as I have owned several leather washer grip Estwings for 20 odd years I know that if they are thrown about the grips break the six or so plastic washers that Estwing insist on adding to an otherwise good leather washered grip and they get rattly.

I still like the leather washered grips but even in normal use over the years I've got one thats gone rattly and needs me to replace a few washers in the grip. I bought another just the same in the meantime.
Then I spotted a really old 20 Oz Estwing with different claws than the usual in a secondhand tool sale but that needs a few washers added as well.
I'll get round to it some rainy day.
