The Gerber Camp 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 PolyamideT, a virtually unbreakable fiberglass reinforced polymer. Gerber's manufacturing process actually molds the PolyamideT 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 Camp Axe will prove to be indispensable to backpackers, kayakers, rafters, hunters, and other outdoor enthusiasts whose activities call for functional, space-saving equipment.
The 17in Gerber Camp Axe takes on a weekend’s worth of firewood chopping in mere minutes, so you can concentrate on marshmallows. A stainless steel head chops like a champ and won’t rust like crazy if you forget to bring this axe inside when you’re done working. Gerber made the shaft with a burly nylon material to keep it from splintering if you accidentally hit it on a swing.

The Best!! | |
| Rating: |  |
This axe is simply awesome....It is extremely sharp, lightweight, and durable. You can cut through 4 to 5 in. logs with relative ease. The heavy steel axes can wear you out after chopping for a while...they are more for blunt force and cause you to use more energy...This just cuts right through wood. This size is prefct for getting most firewood, but I plan to get the full size Gerber axe eventually to see how it is at splitting logs. | |

Best Camp Axe I Have Owned! | |

This thing is awesome! It is really light and solid. Chopped through wood like a mule eating an apple. I was really surprised how well it did on larger pieces of wood. I kept having to "up the ante" to see how thick I could go. Still made precise and deep cuts allowing me to easily chop through things much thicker than I thought. Not good for splitting logs, but will chop through them, no problem. | |

This axe is super lightweight considering its size. The handle is strong and the blade is super sharp. Slipped cutting a log and nicked myself. But it works great and good to have when out camping. | |

This is very good for car camping. Works well for splitting logs for kindling and for also chopping off branches. | |
