Really? Why?
The Estwing, by the way, is a really nice looking hatchet, seeing that the base metal runs well into the handle. I've always considered the hatchets with an all-wood handle to be more dangerous than the new composite ones, as most of the ones I've owned in the past had the blade drop due to the wood shrinking. In one case, I even had a blade fly off mid-swing.

That's a good idea, but... that ain't camping.
