![]() ![]() When I wasn’t actively using the axe, I replaced the sheath to keep it clean and corrosion-free. ![]() Additionally, the edge came hand-sharpened and with a ballistic nylon sheath to protect it. The shock-reduction grip reduced vibration and impact on my hands so I could split for longer without becoming exhausted. The weight is distributed towards the head, which embedded oomph in each swing without added effort on the user’s end. Additionally, the smaller size makes this device easy to use for my roommate, who is even smaller than I am, and my somewhat diminutive self. We have a backyard fire pit at our house, and this 14-inch axe has become our go-to for preparing firewood during our weekly fires. But you’re probably more worried about firewood, right?Īs far as this Estwing model goes, it truly is a fireside friend and the best axe for splitting firewood and other small bits of wood. The Fireside Friend gets a 10/10 for pinata destruction. It’s all in the name of product testing and fun. Should we have given a blindfolded and already drunk person an axe? Debatable. Once smashed, the pinata rained tiny liquor bottles down on nearly a dozen already drunk adults. Some guests were concerned about her injuring herself with the axe, but what is fun without a bit of risk? Plus, it’s a splitting axe and not as sharp as chopping axes. ![]() She proceeded to swing at the pinata until it tumbled in pieces to its untimely death. She picked weapon number two, which happened to be the Estwing Axe. When it was time to smash the thing to smithereens, while blindfolded, we allowed Moriah a choice of weapons. Then, the party commenced we ate food and had drinks. We filled it with tiny liquor bottles, and other “adult” treats. To celebrate, and because we are all adults around here, we ordered a pinata from a local store. More importantly, it was my roommate’s last day working for someone else before she embarked on her self-employed dreams. The Estwing Fireside Friend Axe conveniently arrived on the day of my Cinco de Mayo Party backyard party. Multiple Amazon reviews mention the Estwing Fireside Friend Axe’s propensity for the slaughter of the undead, but I’ve found a few other uses for it, too. Plus, should a zombie apocalypse arrive, you’ve got a close-range weapon too. An axe is a multi-functional tool that does a lot more than chop and split. Whether you have a backyard fire pit, a wood-burning stove for heat, or need to split wood here and there, you will need an axe for chopping wood. True to Its Name: The Estwing Fireside Friend Axe ![]()
