Whats the difference between this and the estwing carpenters hachet?

The riggers axe has a milled hammer face and a longer handle. The axe head may weigh a little more also.

Does it include sheath or some type of edge cover? If not what is the recommended option on sale here for that purpose?

I ordered the Style N Craft 94-027 Camper's Axe Head Sheath with mine. Works like a charm.

does it come with a sheath

The Hardcore carpenter hatchet sheath fits perfectly. I keep mine razor sharp.

Does it have a smooth face? I want to be able to pound metal tent stakes without destroying them, which a milled face would do.

It has a milled face. I think the carpenters hatchet has a smooth face but the handle is not as long
