This is a nice bit of kit that fits easily in the hands. This is more a survival hatchet than an axe. Likewise, this would appear to be a nice tool for a firefighter to field. I did find one negative...that of the included sheath. There is only one anemic belt loop on the backside. Likewise, the nylon doesn't make a positive contact on the blade side, meaning the axe (hatchet) wants to slip out of sheath on that end. This one screams for a proper leather sheath in my opinion. Otherwise a nicely featured compact tool that would come in handy for a first responder, or for anyone that might need its functionality. I myself quite like this one.

I :like: the looks of it!

It does look useable, with some thought put into it :tu:

That tool gets a lot of stuff right, in my opinion.
I have said several times, that if I was caught in the all too tediously mentioned lost in the woods scenario, with just a knife to fix all of life's problems with, I'd want it to be my Muela Jabali or Scorpion Knives Warthog. However, what I'd really want is my Snail Brand roofing tool. I'm sure I could improvise more solutions to more problems, with a combination hatchet, hammer and prytool, than I could with just a knife. Yes, I could pound and pry with a 5mm spined knife, but it's not the same, and real survival situations aren't always impromptu bushcrafting trips.

Amen! :tu:

I see now that there's a survival axe "Elite" out now. Curious what hte differences are.

To answer my own inquiry, the short answer is better steel in the Elite version of the tool.

looks a bit like one of those fubar, fatmax and similar entry tools
-
It looks like something I'd really like to have on my motorcycle for stealth camping in hidden places. Clearing brush, cutting firewood, etc. I'm going to end up with the elite version pretty soon, methinks.
