It was half off with an instore coupon at Duluth TP. Made by Adler as a "canoe axe" do yall think it worth worth having in the kayak?

Probably better than trying to find a sharp rock when you need to cut something.

No experience with that model. Could be a winner, could be junk chineesium.

If it's cheap enough you wouldn't worry if ya lost it in the drink, go for it.

Looks nice!

You get what you pay for normally.
There are many different types of axe heads and handle combinations for many different applications.

Where was it made?

It looks good, but not for $100 bucks, or even 50...but I've been called cheap...

OK, made in Germany. It's worth the 50...

Absolutely

If it has a 24 inch handle and a 2 to 2 1/2 lb head it is likely a good bush axe for light splitting and general bush work. Like this one i've had for 30 years or so.

Canoe axe? Does it float?

No but it could double as a small paddle in case of emergency.

As long as you do not put ti thru the bottom!

You need to get two if you are using it for a Kayak tape them together at the handles ... If ya had a Canoe, one of them will do ya

Looks like it would be ok for the price. Not fond of the grain direction in the handle.

Only ax head that I heard of floating is in the Bible

nice ,

I've got a cheap Chinese hatchet with that shape head. It was a good beavering hatchet. I could choke up on the eye and peel sticks with it. Unfortunately the chinaman didn't put a standard eye on it and when the bamboo(?) handle finally wore out I retired until I can carve out a good hickory handle.

Well, you've gone and done it now Leftlane.
Admitting to being in a kayak has cost you your cowboy card. Maybe okay in Kansas but not in Texas.

" If you're gonna play in Texas, ya can't do it in a kayak. "

on the light side for a 19" stick but it's a sharp metal thingy that'll do what ya need, when ya need it. I like the rhineland pattern in 3lb+. that's a good price a new Adler.

Your kayak pals are fine I'm sure, but the gang of gals doing yoga on their paddle boards around the crab pots look like they had a major upgrade... bunch of tanned and toned bods... I'd take a picture for you but don't want to be the creepy guy in the dirty boat....

Why do you need a hatchet in the kayak, I thought you could open carry?

Now if you want to catch some of them high altitude western cats, just haul that miniature hackax up here come November and build your self forty or fifty cubbies and walk throughs, guard them with some #3s an 650s an then you can answer your self whether you did good.

Pointy side out
