Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Gerber extra-large axe features a forged steel head that offers superior edge-retention, and a Polymid fiberglass handle to hold the steel head securely. This axe comes with a 3/4 encasement for safety when not in use. The extra-large axe is covered by Gerber's limited lifetime warranty.

From the Manufacturer

There's just something kind of satisfying about swinging a simple, no-nonsense axe. One that's balanced, and weighted for efficient impacts. That pretty much describes our Axes. Each one sports a forged stainless steel head. And edge retention that'll have people talking. And glass-filled nylon handles that are all but impossible to damage. Let alone break.

This review is from: Gerber 42730 Extra Large Axe (Misc.)

The blade handle is very light weight and hollowed out. And after downing a few trees the blade remained relatively sharp.

2.0 out of 5 stars Short axe
Good quality but not manly. Seems to be the length for a teenager. If looking for a small axe it is fine. If looking for a man's axe look elsewhere.
