Axes have been around for ages. And even our award-winning axes are hardly new. But the Gator Axe is a wood-busting' 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.

This axe is compact, and it works. It's solid, and sharp enough. The knife in the handle is functional, and unobtrusive. The sheath is excellent in every respect, except that it won't accommodate a very wide belt.The main problem that I see is that the handle is so short that you can't get much leverage on a swing. It's small, but the trade-off in function is a bit too much. It absolutely does work in a pinch. If you really need a hatchet though, I'd go for one of the models with a full-sized handle. Otherwise, one of those manual chain saws might be a better choice of a light tool for cutting firewood.
