Oh, those leather handles

Jordan Urquhart

Jordan Urquhart isnโ€™t shy about being an Estwing fan: โ€œIโ€™ve been in love with those leather handles since I was a little kid!โ€

His first hammer was a beat up old Estwing with a leather handle, given to him by his father. โ€œIt was in very rough shape, but the feeling of that handle was perfect,โ€ Jordan said. โ€œI have been using Estwing hammers and hatchets ever since and am a bit of a collector now.โ€

Whenever he comes across an old Estwing tool, he canโ€™t resist taking it home and restoring it. Jordan even put together a special photo of his leather handle tool collection to celebrate Estwingโ€™s 100-year anniversary.

He only has one piece of advice for Estwing: โ€œKeep making those leather handlesโ€”we love them!โ€
