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. grin

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.

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


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Yeah I get that I guess. This one is light weight but has enough handle to make me think it could get some work done.

I have an Estwing (all steel construction) about the same size and shape and this new one is probably 25% lighter.

Normal retail would have been $100 with tax.

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

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

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.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

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

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

Very similar BC TC- here is the link with some specs. At half off it costs the same as my fav Estwing: Not quite as heavy but with enough handle to get some momentum into a swing

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


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I used her to split and ready some pecan wood for a small smoker- the little gal liked that work for sure.
If I knew I had a big job, I'd still load the 3# Estwing but I do think this little model will be good to keep in the front of a kayak where it can be got at quickly.

Thank you for all the replys
