Handle doesn't look very comfortable.
I, however, just learned that Estwing makes tomahawks. That's pretty cool. |

Nice looking blade, but I'm not really a fan of the handle.

The tanto version looks interesting. They make a damn good hammer, that's for sure.

How could the design people at Estwing, the preeminent name in USA made hammers, screw up the introduction of a knife line...? They just did.

Those look exactly like I'd expect some Estwing MBA who saw forged in fire once to come up with.

On the other hand, I too just learned that they have a tomahawk. |

The handle actually looks very ergonomic.
Your palm takes up a lot more room on a knife than your fingers do. |

I want an Estwing tomahawk, but the knife looks like a Klingon implement.
I used to have a connection at the Rockford, Ill plant, and could get pretty much anything they made for $15. They have a program for employees. Still have a medium axe, and a brand new hatchet with the leather handle. |

That handle is shit....no, shit is useful as it can become fertilizer....
That handle is less useful than shit. Estwing should know better. They also didn't list the steel used. Meh!! |

As I posted in the tomahawk thread, the Estwisg hawk is G2G. It's not very fancy or tacticool, but it's well made and great bang for the buck.
I'd bet that their knives are probably decent, too. Not sure about the handle, but maybe something that a 550 cord wrap would fix. |

When a knife maker doesn't list its steel, I have a problem and I own and love their 16" Campers Axe.

The steel probably varies from lot to lot, according to availability and price when the material is ordered.
The buyer has a list of suitable steels. Just hope the order is marked correctly and the heat treater can read and gives a damn. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They sell the tomahawks at Lowe's. My son bought one. I kind of like it. Then again, I was always a fan of Estwing hammers. Cleaves through most animal bits with ease (gentle taps separate deer ribs), still grippy when covered in goose oil. Love estwing hammers. So what the hell possessed them to fuck up their handle like that!? Could've saved huge money on production costs and made a far more useful tool with their traditional stacked leather or rubber handle. Put a tiny stamped part on there as a knuckle guard/finger stop. |

Yep. I probably would buy an Estwing knife for the novelty if it had a blue rubber handle and a blade shape that was moderately useful.

Everyone who is pissing on the knife, it deserves it, should go back to the Estwing website and using the contact tab to send them an email encouraging then to fix that frigging handle design. I did and it took less than 1 minute. As I have learned from listening to Tom Gresham of late, some American companies will actually respond to criticism, emails, and letters. His example was in reference to American firearms makers and some other associated companies,

I clicked and wanted to like it. Estwing is a good company so I will not speak ill of it.
We all like different things. Overall I support owning many knives. I will probably not buy this one. |
