We just used it for the first since I purchased it as a holiday gift for my partner and the paint came off on one side revealing rust all over the axe. **Q: The picture shows a rubber perforated handle but the description says "leather grip". Which is it?** A: There are two versions of this axe, the one shown with the rubber grip and one that has a black head and leather wrapped handle. I have the leather handle one but both are excellent. I believe the one shown is $5 or $10 less then the other. **Q: Is there any difference between the blue and black axe other than the paint and price?** A: The blue has a rubber handle, theblack has the signature leather hande which is the cost difference. **Q: Does it come with a sheath? Thanks** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome camp tool *by on Reviewed in the United States May 31, 2026* This definitely makes splitting wood easier. It holds an edge well and is easy to sharpen. You’ll have no problem driving heavy duty steel tent stakes into the ground either. The black coating started wearing off after the first use. It doesn’t bother me as it’s a tool that’s meant to be used. If that’s something that bothers you may want to get the uncoated version. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great product. made in the USA. *by on Reviewed in the United States March 17, 2026* This small splitting maul is fantastic! I got the one with the rubber handle because I own a few Estwing tools and love their durability.The sharp edge on the blade penetrates the toughest wood. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yep *by on Reviewed in the United States May 27, 2026* You know that dude with a man bun who uses some ridiculous folding hatchet from Dick's Sporting Goods to split wood when camping? The guy who buys $100 hatchet that takes three swings to split a 6" pine log... Don't be that guy. This is the tool. Hatchets are for cutting, and they're pretty terrible at it. Hand saws will outperform them any day. This is a splitter. Its a sledge hammer with a blade. Its also coated in a superhuman epoxy lacquer because you can pretty much just leave it in water and the only that'll rust is the very tip of the blade. This is what you use to split logs next to the fire. You could also club a grizzly bear with it should the need arise. Blade is easy to sharpen. Split angle is perfect. Weight and balance are spot on. Best of all its an Estwing, so its an American made one-piece forged chunk of freedom steel. I've split literal cords of maple with this thing. Its a beast. Even comes with a nylon blade pouch. Buy once, never look back. ## Frequently Bought Together - ESTWING Special Edition Fireside Friend - Leather 14" Wood Splitting Maul with Forged Steel Construction & Genuine Leather Grip - ESTWING Sure Split Wedge - 5-Pound Wood Splitting Tool with Forged Steel Construction & 1-7/8" Cutting Edge - E-5 - Fiskars X27 Super Splitting Axe - 36" Wood Splitting Axe for Medium to Large Size Logs with Shock-Absorbing Handle - Split Firewood - Forged Steel Blade - Bushcraft Gear and Camping Axe --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5948670-special-edition-fireside-friend-leather-14-wood-splitting-maul-forged](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/5948670-special-edition-fireside-friend-leather-14-wood-splitting-maul-forged) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
