## Description

E14A Sportsman's Axe Leather Grip - 2.3/4in Edge (1.1/4 lb)

Review: What a great little chopper! - The first thing that strikes me is its so pretty! Most hatchets are rather boring and samey! This little beauty is, well beautiful! I have a large old tree trunk in the yard so in no time I was out at it with the new buy. Its not built to take down a forest, but it came very sharp and did a fine job attacking the dead trunk. This hatchet was bought to provide tinder for either a small wood stove or an open fire when camping. I hike every where so its small size and comparatively light weight is ideal. Why pay a fortune on a GBruks mini when you can get a little cracker like this.
Review: Fantastic hand axe! - I haven't used it yet but it's got a handle and a sharp blade so I'm figuring that part will go as planned. I wanted a more traditional looking axe rather than some of the more modern ones which I'm sure do the same job, just aren't necessarily as aesthetically pleasing. As someone else commented, the handle has been lacquered so it could well be leather under there but I couldn't be sure - presumably it's far more weatherproof this way and it doesn't bother me. Someone else talked about stickers on the metal - sure there are a couple and it is slightly annoying but a dry cloth and some WD40 soon gets rid of them - there are bigger problems in the world. It's exactly what I was hoping for when I saw the link - definitely not the cheapest but it depends what you're after.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: in description it says supplied with a leather sheath.but shows a fabric one on photos ..which do you get**
A: I've purchased this item and it comes supplied (as standard) with a black nylon sheath as per the photos. Not sure why it would be listed as coming with a leather sheath.
Either way, I can recommend this hatchet very highly. It's incredibly durable and versatile, with am excellent balance.

**Q: how do i download invoices**
A: Go into your 'Orders', top right hand side of the page is 'Invoice'. Click and select from the options. Buying through Amazon means I usually get the money wire transferred before I've paid for it via my card. I have to be sure the item won't be sent back.
A point about the axe. I carry a diamond-dust pocket file to maintain the bit.

**Q: Hi, please light me, quality still poor as it was, or you make it better now? Thanks. If better display some images please.**
A: As far as I’m aware this axe has always been of good quality. That’s why I bought one!
Good grippy handle made of leather and a one piece solid steel axe that won’t break and let you down. Great item that is in my survival bag because I can depend my life upon it.

**Q: Why are you charging £68 when they are £49.99 from Estwing themselves?**
A: This is one for Amazon to answer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No Doubts very happy with purchase
*by L***1 on 12 February 2021*

After reading some of the reports of bad workmanship and finish of these Axes, I was half hearted about making this purchase through Amazon. I have just received the Axe today and I’m blown away with the quality of how nice this axe is actually finished, I am a very Persnickety person so find fault when others can’t and I can’t find any fault in workmanship to this Axes finish and quality, it simply is quality, so don’t listen to the bad reviews on this Axe supplied by Amazon as being poorly made, as yes sometimes there maybe bad product out there from time to time but for the most these Axe are sublimely finished without fault. So Don’t be put off get on and buy one, I would definitely buy another one from Amazon.👍
