The Sportsman’s Axe: They don’t leave home without it
Kamal & Kate Nguyen
We received this heartwarming message from a pair of loyal Estwing fans.
Dear Estwing Family,
Congratulations on your 100th anniversary! I’m not at all surprised that your company has thrived for one century, as the quality of your products will surely last a lifetime.
My wife and I are both travel nurses and have a passion for camping and the outdoors. While preparing for our most recent nursing destination, the beautiful state of Maine, we discovered we needed a reliable camping axe.
My father-in-law, who’s a farmer, hunter and jack of all trades, highly recommended I invest in an Estwing axe. Of all his experiences, he recalls his most favorite axe was the blue handle Estwing axe he used during his first elk hunting trip in Montana. He promised I wouldn’t be disappointed in any of your products because of their weight, the quality of the steel and the iconic Estwing handles.
“As nurses that travel the country every three months, we try to pack lightly and only bring the necessities—our Estwing axe is one of those necessities.”
Based on his recommendation, I looked no further and purchased the carbon steel E24A sportsman’s axe for our camping adventures. The 13.5-inch length is perfect for our needs and makes it extremely easy to pack and carry. The leather handle is aesthetically pleasing and is just beautifully constructed. Furthermore, this axe is not too heavy yet not too light, making it feel perfect in your hands for safe chopping. As nurses that travel the country every three months, we try to pack lightly and only bring the necessities—our Estwing axe is one of those necessities.
Unfortunately, my father-in-law recently lost his beloved Estwing axe. So, for Christmas, my wife and I purchased the very same axe and engraved his ranch logo onto the steel. The look of surprise on his face was priceless!
We could not be more pleased with the sportsman’s axe. It’s a true American product and an heirloom that I will proudly pass down to my future children. Thank you so much for your dedication to quality, legacy and customer satisfaction.
