Manufacturer Description
Axes have been around for ages. And even our award-winning axes are hardly new. But the Gator Axe is a wood-bustin' breakthrough. Because we applied our proprietary Gator textured rubber to the grip for an unprecedented level of comfort and control. Beneath that tactile rubber surface is a virtually indestructible glass-filled nylon handle. And inside that handle is a hollow area containing a magnet that can hold a knife. The axe head is engineered from forged steel, which does an outstanding job of keeping its edge.
Product Description
Axe features a forged steel head for superior edge retention and a virtually unbreakable handle. Has textured rubber for maximum grip in wet or dry conditions. Comes with a textured-handle fixed-blade 2.63in. knife that magnetically locks into the handle of the axe. Nylon sheath with belt loop. Lifetime limited warranty.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
My buddy's been packing this for a while and the standard joke is, when someone comments on the funny little hatchet he yells "YOU MAKIN' FUN OF MY HATCHET!" and pulls the knife from the handle and waves it menacingly. The rest of the joke is when you try to chop wood with it. The head is pretty heavy to make up for a lack of momentum with that short handle but it still falls far short of a standard hatchet and I estimate its chopping effectiveness is at most 1/3 of a full size hatchet. Maybe it'd be useful for butchering game and fish but if you need to do regular hatchet stuff get a regular hatchet.
