And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Dunno about the double bit… I’ve bought a single bit Eastwing hatchet when I drove up here in 95. Use it all winter splitting woodstove kindling & the rest of the year for campwood & such. Still holds an edge like new after almost 30 years of hard use. Highly recommend the brand.
I re-ground one side now. It works really good Cutting small sticks down to size. Left the other side as is just sharpened it that works great for splitting up the small stuff for the fire.
Isn't that a double bit hatchet?
ReplyDeleteDuh
DeleteKeep one of those in my pickup with my emergency stuff. Used a few times to clear smaller tree debris off the road. Works.
ReplyDeleteYeap… more of a hatchet than an axe….I guess a hand axe….more like a fighting tomahawk…

ReplyDeleteIMHO that is something that a Viking would carry in his belt.
ReplyDelete-y- es hecho in USA!!
ReplyDeleteHandle is too short to be an axe, but too long for a hatchet. I have one. Still a handy thing though.
ReplyDeleteThe weight and balance is pretty good. It isn't a splitting or a felling axe, but it can do most jobs fairly well.
Useful or not. If it’s Estwing, it’ll last!

Home Depot use to carry Estwing but no more. and that's a shame.
ReplyDeleteMfg. description has them listed at just a c-hair over 17" and about 2.5 lb.
ReplyDeleteUsed an Estwing drywall hammer for a decade or so. Good tool.
ReplyDeleteanother great mayhem tool for the days ahead...
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on the video of someone bouncing that thing off a chuck of wood into their forehead.
ReplyDeleteSomeone throwing that item, your result is the easy bet.
