The Gerber Sport Axe is an essential part of any outdoorsman's equipment. It combines a full size hatchet head with a tough and lightweight handle. The axe head is made of forged steel, tempered to take and hold a superior cutting edge. The axe handle is made of Polyamide, a virtually unbreakable fiberglass reinforced polymer. Gerber's manufacturing process actually molds the Polyamide handle around the axe head, insuring that it will never separate or come loose from the handle under normal use. Like the rest of Gerber's axes, the Sport Axe will prove to be indispensable to backpackers, kayakers, rafters, hunters, and other outdoor enthusiasts whose activities call for functional, space-saving equipment.

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.

The Gerber Sport Axe handles whatever you throw its way whether you’re chopping firewood on a camping trip or building freeride bike trails. The stainless steel head withstands tons of abuse and weather in the woods and the nylon handle won’t splinter if you accidentally hit it on a swing. Gerber also adds a sheath to keep your other gear safe when you stash this axe in your pack.

when i first got it i didnt think the nylon handle was going to hold up against slips and slams. after about six or seven trips and watching multiple users put the beating on this axe ive been proven wrong. the handle has held up perfectly; even with direct hits. it has kept its edge and can cut through branches and small trees with a minimal amount of effort. i got the 13" version because its more compact and extremely light, but i doubt the larger version adds much more weight. all and all ive found that this is a very versatile and durable piece of equipment that has exceeded my initial expectations. | |

Good axe for long stays, or car camping. Not something I like for a weekend or a couple days out, but a week or so in one location it is worth it to me. The same as the Fiskars version, light weight, good head. Splits wood great, but not the best for bucking. | |
