The other extra included in the purchase was the sharpening stone. Well worth the money paid for the product. This is for our new farm and it very well built. I have not tried it yet but cannot wait to.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2019Style: AxeColor: BlackVerified PurchaseGut hook is pretty good (will need frequent sharpening), axe is perfect for splitting sternum and pelvis. Solid tool.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2016Style: AxeColor: BlackVerified Purchase*The following review provides somewhat explicit details of the intended use of the Estwing Sportsman Hunter's Axe while field dressing large game.
I had the recent good fortune to be able to try the Estwing Hunter's Axe while field dressing a mature buck. The gut hook made quick work of the hide once I got the angle right. I noticed that if I tried to force the gut hook through the hide by tugging on it, it would load up with hair and I'd have to start over. Slow and steady definitely worked best here! The gut hook performed flawlessly when moving through the muscles of the abdominal wall because there was no hair to contend with.
I also used the gut hook on the cartilage between the ribs and sternum to open up the chest cavity. It only took about three or four solid pulls to advance from the bottom to the top of the rib cage. The handle was very easy to grip and any wet blood that I had on my hands did not seem to impair the purchase of my hand on the handle. Next, I used the axe side to split the pelvic bone. One solid strike and I was through without any over-penetration of the blade into the bladder, colon, etc.
Both the axe and gut hook arrived reasonably sharp out of the box. I used a fixed-blade knife for detailed work inside of the chest and abdominal cavity (cutting the trachea, diaphragm, etc), but the axe was sharp enough to cut through muscle and connective tissue to expose the pelvic bone with relative ease. Overall, I am impressed with how this tool performed in the field and I am very happy with my purchase.
The only reason that I deducted one star from this review is due to the poor quality of the factory sheath. The axe states on the handle that it is proudly made in the USA. The inside of the sheath is stamped "Made in Taiwan." The lining of the sheath is thin, cheap, pleather-like material that will not hold up to rigorous use. Also, being made of Cordura-like fabric, I feel like there is no way to get it completely clean after re-sheathing the used axe in the field. The axe was too cumbersome to carry in-hand while trying to drag the deer out of the woods…re-sheathing seemed like the only logical way to go.
The pocket with the sharpening stone is a nice feature for emergency purposes. However, I maintain my blades at home prior to heading out. I can't foresee an instance where I would utilize this in the field, unless I were to drop the axe on a rock or were away on a hunting trip for an extended period of time.
One personal touch that I added was a simple lanyard made from highly reflective 550 cord. This axe is "full tang" and comes pre-drilled for a lanyard at the base of the handle. If I accidentally drop this all-black, non-reflective axe in the woods, I can hopefully retrace my steps with a flashlight and have a better chance of recovering it thanks to the lanyard.
If I could offer one suggestion to Estwing with regard to this axe, it would be to provide a solid Kydex sheath that could be easily hand-washed for sanitary reasons. This would make it a PERFECT tool for field dressing large game. Currently (as of 01/2016), I am unable to find anyone offering an aftermarket Kydex sheath option for sale.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016Style: AxeColor: BlackThese things are REALLY solid and have a great weight to them. I have not had a chance yet to take this camping, but I tested the strength and durability on some scrap lumber and I'm impressed. Out of the package this thing is pretty sharp, and it also includes a sharpening stone and a case. The case fits the axe perfectly and does not budge once snapped shut. The sharpening stone also fits nicely in the pocket on the outside so you never have to be without the means to sharpen it. The gut hook does not have a sharp point to it like I thought it would, but the rest of the hook does have a fairly fine edge to it. The black coating on the axe is not going to last forever, as it has already begun rubbing off in a few spots, but that's not a downside for me as I prefer my tools to have a worn look to them.
