You get what you pay for. Especially if it needs to hold an edge, shoot a group, or take a curve.

Am I a wuss if I say that kinda frightens me?
Looks like a whole bunch of sharp edges.

You need to change your mind set. Sharp edges are your friends.....not your enemies.

I picked up this 2hawks "Warbeast" at the Indy 1500 last Oct for $120. (show price)... It's made from 6150 tool steel, RC 57-58, and has three very sharp edges. I sent it back to have the hear rawhide wrapped, but don't have new pics of it yet. It's a very high quality piece of work. Just my two cents.....

Any axe suggestions then? I'm not stuck on the Kami axes, they just look cool.

 

[tyler34]

whats your intended purpose? do you want an actual axe or more of a tomahawk/hatchet?

 

[turnandshoot4]

I really like the added cutting surface of their bearded axes. I'm not really a tomahawk guy. I'm sure a hatchet would work fine but I already have a hatchet. And that is no fun.

This will be a camping item. I'd like something different than the machete type of brush clearing.

For camping I'll be carrying a 5 inch fixed blade knife for slicing of veggies and whatnot.

Guess I just need to learn run one of those without lopping off my own parts.

Any one have any ideas on a nice axe?
