4.0 out of 5 stars Gerber Sport Axe = Fiskars Handy Axe - $30, January 3, 2007

This review is from: Gerber 45907 Sport Axe with Sheath (Lawn & Patio)

I have the Fiskars version of this axe and am writing this review to tell you how to save your money. The Gerber-branded version of this axe bears the Fiskars stamp molded into the polyamide near the non-edge side of the head. Go to your local outdoor store and check it out if you don't believe me.

Picked up the Fiskars version at Lowe's for $20, and couldn't be more pleased. Excellent for making tinder, could be great for other things but I've only had it for a day. The only difference with the Gerber is that it does not come with the ballistic sheath (comes with a hard plastic safety cover/handle) but Gerber will send you the sheath if you ask nicely. It seems to fit well in the ice axe loops in my pack so I will probably just tape the blade if I take it camping.

My review only achieves four stars because the handle is rather slippery. Pick up a roll of hockey tape and wrap from the butt of the handle up, and you're still paying half price.

This review is from: Gerber 45907 Sport Axe with Sheath (Lawn & Patio)

Pros:

-Durable! After a camping trip or two of hard use, there is still no sign of any loosening, chipping, cracking, or any other damage.

-Excellent balance let me use it for larger jobs then it's size would suggest.

-Good steel, kept it's edge well.

-Good sheath design (opens from the top) protects the edge and has no chance of it working loose during normal use.

Cons:

-Handle material doesn't grip very well. I would recommend either roughening the surface with sandpaper or wrapping it with grip or sport tape.

There isn't much more to be said. It's simple, solid, rugged, and functional.

I own this ax and the Gerber splitter and I am very pleased with them. The handles are indestructible and the ax heads are easily sharpened. I also consider it a plus that neither is made in China. No one wants quality control issues with axes.
