Review: Produto maravilhoso boa empunhadura gostei muito
Review: El tamaño ideal para hacer trabajos de madera, los tamaños más chicos te quitan fuerza y los más grandes dejan de ser llevaderos en la mochila o en los viajes de camping. Buen filo y al ser de una sola pieza de acero la hace indestructible. Realmente perfecta. La Especial Edition es muy bonita pero es más un gusto, ya que no hay diferencia alguna con las versiones estándar. Vale mas por lo que realmente pagas.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by B***S on 10 December 2016*

I love this axe. At first all the reviews on here kind of made me skeptical about purchasing this fine piece. I work in the forests of British Columbia as a timber cruiser for the last 3 years, and have used the standard model of this axe most of my career. Finally I decided to go with this Special Edition model 16" Estwing Axe. I have no regrets. The blade is quite curved compared to the other model, but doesn't seem to have any flaws or weak points. I chop a lot of trees every day and it has withstand everything I chopped so far, even large frozen trees! When it first arrived I gave it a final sharpening, and it has held up great (no chipping in the blade etc.), I also did the handle side to side test while the axe was stuck deeply in a tree, flexing it in -20 celcius weather, without any bending or disformation. The black finishing, -like expected since it is a every day tool for me, is slowly wearing off in the chopping area. No big deal, because it does the job very well and meets every requirement I'm looking in a reliable tool.
