No Vaughan love? USA made and used by a heck of a lot of contractors. If you swing hammers for a living you're mad to use a metal shaft model. Not that this applies to the OP, and Vaughan makes full metal hammers as well, but just saying there are more excellent options out there than Estwing.
Imho, more important than brand is type of hammer. He won't need a waffle faced framing hammer, for example. A trim hammer less than 20 oz, either rip or curve claw, would be ideal. Something like this would be great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IWOLLI/

Not for nothing, and not to jinx you, but they sell (decent) replacement hafts on Amazon.

And knock on wood; I may have a spare, but I haven't yet busted the haft on my own
Nah you just need to fit a handle to it
Fiberglass have more flex indeed.
Infact on my chopping axe i use wood handles because the hit is better and stronger, but the chopping axe handle is 3 feet long. On a throwing axe handle, less than 20 inches, the difference in flexing is not even noticeable.
If you like the shape, in the US you can find the Bacho model,it's almost identical but much more expensive than mine.
