Show me your blades

looks cool,but as so often,looks decive...and I don't wan't invest in something bad any more

Jontte, I have no experience with it, but two things are deal breakers for me. One, it's a Gerber, and two, the price.

Have you seen the "Trucker's Friend?" A fraction of the price and looks very useful

ive actually had this happen to me before, was a cheap wanna-be buck looken knife that I mistook for a buck, damn thing closed on be chopped into half the topside of my thumb and 1st finger.....what was worse than that was the cheap hospital care....4 1/2 hours to be seen by triage, I ended up walking out.

The down range tomahawk is a good deal. I dislike Gerber but so far the Hawks their making have passed my tests. The only problem I have with it is it comes very dull. Outside of that I have some Firefighter friends who carry this as their breaching back up tool after I sharpen it of coarse.

guessed,there was someone who had some experience of that gadget

If its sharp my hands find their way to it!! lol

The truckers friend is definitely the better deal out of the 2. Priced around 60.00 and made of much better materials cast tool steel and then tempered. The only catch is its not as easy to carry as the Down Range Tomahawk. The Down Range Tomahawk Is made with 420hc Stainless steel but apparently the temper was done right on these because they have held up pretty well to the abuse we put them threw.

Ouch, Gerber DRT $170 on Amazon but has decent reviews though I think I will keep my H&B shawnee tomahawks for a little bit longer. At that price Lisa will be the first to use the DRT and it wont be pretty!

here the DRT is "only" 199 euros....will wait for awhile...

This stays behind the seat of the truck and have one for the pack, perhaps one of the best field axe or as some like to call it 'bushcraft' axe, husqvarna carpenter's axe is a little over 2lbs handle around 19 1/2"

looks just like it works,the way it should..

My favorites gransfors bruks, husqvarna and wetterling though fiskars (your part of the the country) replaced my wetterling's as my favorite splitting axe, I think they call it the fiskars super splitter

have to write a letter to father x-mas..I think I have been nice this year..

not even overly expensive ... is it easy to sharpen??

the fiskars and the gerber camp axe brand are easy to sharpen (w/file) when you get a fiskars axe sharpen it first or you will role the bit a strange thing with fiskars it appears to be tempered the same from the bit to the butt unusual for a axe, it is a little softer then the rest of my axes, every quality axe I worked with was tempered differently from the face back 2-2.5 inches leaving the rest a little softer perhaps that's why the head lacks an eye and the way the head mounts never the less the fiskar axe is a damn good splitting axe.

FYI, hit square on the bit and not on the toe or heal because its a little softer you may roll the ends on hard wood or a knot I never had that problem just something I heard at the chain shop.

I'd actually pulled a couple out to sharpen just before I saw this thread.

Nice!! Be careful with the M48 tomahawk we've had the handles snap off at the worst times. use on flesh only....

Yeah. They don't work well against car windows either. Idiot in a cage dammed near put me into the medium.
