In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The Estwing Black Eagle Double Bit Axe, built for serious woodworkers and outdoor enthusiasts, combines a robust 17-inch overall design with a 16-inch steel handle that delivers a precise, controlled swing in demanding conditions. Featuring a double-bit head with two 3-inch cutting edges, this axe is designed to blend power and versatility for everything from rough brush clearing to fine firewood prep. A protective sheath is included, keeping blades guarded when not in use and making transport safer on you next job or camping trip.

Why it stands out

The Black Eagle line from Estwing is crafted for professionals who value durability and practical performance. With a steel handle and steel head, this double-bit axe minimizes play and fatigue under heavy workloads, so you can rely on consistent performance day after day. The dual cutting edges give you immediate task flexibility—flip to the edge that suits the job, whether you’re splitting, pruning, or shaping wood—without pausing to switch tools. Its compact 17-inch footprint balances reach with maneuverability, making it a trusted companion in tight spaces around a shelter, campsite, or lumber yard.

Key features

  • Double-bit head with two 3-inch cutting edges for versatile task handling
  • 16-inch steel handle built for durability and dependable energy transfer
  • Overall length: 17 inches provides balanced leverage for precise control
  • Blade material: Steel for enduring sharpness and reliability
  • Includes sheath for safe storage and transport
  • Brand: Estwing, Black Eagle line—professional-grade performance

Ideal use cases

  • Felling small-diameter trees and clearing brush on trails or work sites
  • Rough shaping and trimming logs, debarking, and preparing firewood
  • Camping and homestead tasks where quick edge-switching speeds up workflows
  • Working in confined spaces where a longer or shorter tool would be impractical

Care and maintenance

To maintain peak performance, store the axe in the included sheath when not in use, wipe blades after exposure to moisture, and apply a light protective oil to the steel components to prevent rust and preserve edge integrity. Regularly inspect the joint between head and handle for signs of wear to ensure safe operation on demanding tasks.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
