SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Estwing Sportsman 12" Axe with Leather Sheath is a compact, dependable tool crafted for serious outdoor work. Forged in one solid piece from hardened tool steel, this axe is built to deliver powerful performance with lasting durability. Whether you're splitting kindling at camp or clearing brush on the trail, the 2.75" cutting edge bites deep and clean with every swing. It's a reliable tool that doesn’t just do the job—it thrives in demanding environments.
At 12.375" overall and weighing just over a pound, this axe strikes a smart balance between portability and striking power. It's light enough to carry on long treks but stout enough to get real work done when you reach your destination. The full steel tang gives it unmatched strength, with no joints or weak points to fail under pressure.
The handle is made from hand-polished stacked leather, offering a traditional look that’s as functional as it is eye-catching. With black and white spacers to accent the grip, the handle not only feels good in hand, but also reflects the kind of craftsmanship that’s becoming harder to find. The natural leather offers solid grip retention even when wet, and it develops a rich patina with use, making each tool uniquely yours over time.
This axe also includes a premium leather belt sheath, offering safe and secure carry wherever you roam. Whether it's strapped to your belt or stashed in your pack, you’ll always have a dependable edge within reach.
Proudly made in the USA, the Estwing Sportsman Axe represents over a century of American toolmaking heritage. It's not just a piece of gear—it’s a working man's tool, ready for whatever the outdoors throw at you. Order it today from SMKW!
