Huntah: Initially, I was looking for a traditional hatchet (wooden handle) for an upcoming backpacking trip I was planning. But, after watching some youtube videos on "best backpacking hatchet" which had nothing but positive reviews of this camping axe, I decided to purchase one for myself.
First, I have only 3 complaints for the axe. 1) For any backpacker, weight is always at the forefront of any purchase. This axe is heavy. But, I made the decision to add it to my kit because I felt the positives of the axe outweighed the negatives. Plus, I purchased it knowing that it would weigh a lot. So, this is one complaint that I was already anticipating when I was making my purchase. 2) The handle of the axe is round. So, the user is not able to easily index it and know where the cutting edge of the axe blade is. This became an issue when chopping fire wood and the axe head would dislodge and loosen/ unscrew after every swing. At first, I thought it was a defective. But, after a few swings, I realized that it was user error. After making adjustments to my grip to properly index the axe, I had no issues with the axe head. 3) After, normal use, the compass at the bottom of the handle came off...

Albert J.: I would describe this more as a hatchet than an axe, as its maximum overall length is 16.1”, but that's more of a quibble than a defect. It's also described as foldable; while it doesn't fold, it does disassemble.

Starting off, let's discuss the material, finish and workmanship. Both the axe head [steel] and the handle(s) [aluminum] are a uniform, gloss black. The axe blade is securely attached to the axe head through its tang by two heavy bolts, which keep the blade absolutely secure. The threads –both male and female-- are smooth and clean: no burrs, feathering or other defects. They smoothly assemble and disassemble . . . in the case of the uppermost threads –the ones securing the axe head/axe body to the larger extension rod-- they “smoothly assemble and disassemble” a bit too much, as a few have already noted. An easy fix is applying a bit of Permatex/Locktite threadlocker to the first extension handle before firmly screwing them together.* Each of the male threaded ends have a rubber O-ring included; a nice touch, as that assures waterproofing the interior of the handle. I would recommend lubricating the other threads, either with WD-40 or equivalent, or...

Steve Perez: It is a very nice axe, I gave it three stars because there are two allen screws holding the head of the axe on and after only using it two times one of the screws came loose and I literally had to stop what I was doing and search for the screw that fell out in the woods. I got lucky and found it, if not would have been interesting. Maybe they were not tightened down during manufacturing but that's on them not me. Also the compass at the base also came off again after two uses. So all in all the axe looks really nice and love all the options but I plan on using this thing and its questionable on how it's going to hold up. Will see but I'm skeptical.

**Update** Soon after I submitted this review the company contacted me and explained the process and took responsibilty for the issues I was having with this Axe. They sent me a new Axe and have been very helpful. In my opinion it goes a long way for a company to not only read your reviews but also respond so quickly. I was impressed by their commiment to their product and wanting to satisfy the customer. I am currently testing out the new axe as well as a survival shovel from them. So far impressed with both and the shovel is...
