Weapons for Survival Part II: Edged Weapons.

Sometimes you can really step in # when it comes to buying a tool.

I have personally used and abused all of the following.
For the money, they are all great.

They may not be the most extravagant or feature laden items around, but they serve the function very well.

These are the new ones I keep in my bag.

You do know what they say about opinions right?



I have used that knife for years, used and sharpened and used and sharpened..

I don't recommend things lightly...

But you of course are entitled to your opinion as well...

When it comes to axes i prefer a traditional wooden handle. If it breaks i can simply craft a new one, hammer it into the head and soak it in water so that it swells and sticks fast. You can't do that with the plastic handle axes that attach as the pictured ones do.

Personal preference i know

Actually I agree...

I only have the one axe, a Gerber and I like it as it is small, but the handle is too short..

When I go into the wilderness, I just take one of my axes I keep here at the house.. Complete with wooden handle for the same reasons you stated...
