For about a year and a half in '96-'97, we sold our original "Goose Wing" ax. Sadly, we lost the U.S. maker and have been without until now. Our principal Italian maker is now making it for us.
If you are looking for a really great little Axe at an even greater price, here is the one. Buck has given us a camp/hunter's axe with a 3" cutting edge, 13-1/4" length and a weight of 1 lb. 2.6 oz.
The material of this super light and handy little axe is high carbon stainless cutlery steel from the most modern of Sweden's steel mills. The European Ash handle is shaped to enable you to work hour after hour making the most of the 5-1/2" cutting edge of this remarkable tool.
The Gerber Back Paxe is a small kindling splitter or game axe made in Finland by the parent company, Fiskars and has to be handled to be appreciated.
Small enough to attach to your belt or backpack, yet sturdy enough for any job. Made from one piece drop forged construction with Kraton handles for a sure grip in any condition. A 3-1/2" cutting edge allows for plenty of working area.
Originally a stone-headed hatchet, the steel-headed tomahawk arrived with the French fur trappers as trade goods and quickly became a prized possession of the American Indian. Many designs were in use, varying from the simple hatchet to the elaborately decorated multi-use pieces. The most recognizable is the Pipe Hawk which combined an effective tool or weapon with a means of indulging the Indian's love of tobacco.
SOG's modern battle/throwing ax evokes its origins from medieval times, which some might consider to be the present. Whether used as a target ax, SWAT tool or universal backup; it is very effective. The pike in the back is upswept for better target penetration.
Based on the Vietnam Tomahawk, the new Fusion Tactical Tomahawk is an extreme evolution of the original, which was considered one of the more unusual weapons of its day. Today there is a real need for a versatile tool for breaching operations, excavation, obstacle removal, extraction, and other utility applications.
