My impression of Estwing is that it's meme-tier "Unbreakable, All-American, What My Grandpappy Had"-shit. For their hammers, supposedly the metal+leather handle allows vibrations to propagate through it something ridiculous which will fuck your arm/hand in the end and the fact that it's lacquered will probably give you blisters. Dunno if the same applies to axes but I'd guess so.
Get mad, amerimutts.
