As you know, I've been researching camp axes, and the Gerber/Fiskars are very highly rated for durability. If I ever get mine, I'll let 'ya know how she does.I'll be getting a splitting axe, but they also have chopping axes. I figure I could always use the splitting axe to chop in a pinch, but you can't really use the chopping axes for splitting.
I actually hated to post my review of it, because I used it very little, but I guess it is like the Aluminum baseball bat versus wood, Wood dont vibrate as much, plus the plastic is not to my liking.Yes Norton is great, but I wish I could get my first bike back. A 64 BSA shooting star .
Not to mention the riding around with 2 wrenches and a file constantly in your pocket
