I love all things Estwing... except this wedge. It's perhaps my copy, but it's too soft. You don't want a struck tool to be too hard or it will dangerously chip, but too soft and the head mushrooms easily and the tool dulls quickly. That has been my experience with this wedge.

This is about what I paid for it 15 years ago, I'm slightly tempted to buy one just to see if mine was poorly heat treated.

I purchased one a month ago and after little use on some red oak the tip has mushroomed out already.

Thank you for reporting back. I guess I'll stick to Estwing tools that do the striking and skip the ones that take the striking. I have a fireside friend, but I'm looking for an excuse to buy the timber titan. I don't know why they don't make a full size maul.
