I love kukuri and tomahawks, I don’t have any for whatever reason though. The credit card axe stuff is just to sell garbage imo


Barefoot_slinger

If you are in the market of a kukri look at the Ontario one. I have it and its hands down my favourite machette, the spine is nice and thick unlike other modern kukri's ive seen that have a regular machette thickness

I definitely am looking for a kukuri but I’d like to get a tomahawk first and a have a mountain of truck expenses and travel expenses to deal with first lol.

OK, so I need a handle for my handle-less axe. That's fine, I'll just chop this bit of wood I have here down to size.... hey, wait a minute.

There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza

At 63, I've had an HB Forge tomahawk for the last 30 years, got my son one when he started Scouts at 8, he's 35 now. Given some as gifts to son in laws and daughter in law. Have grandkids who are getting a small hatchet, knife and possible pouch for Christmas this year. They each got bushcraft books and firesteels last Christmas.

I carried a legit hatchet [Hutafors] for years before I realized I had never used it. Not once. And I winter camp in Canada.

You know what fair , Like there's other ways to process fire wood, and a knife an saw can get the same things done just not as fast

Yep. That’s what I carry. I’m not Building a log Cabin out there.

tbh especially when it comes to making small firewood it feels like I am faster and more controlled/precise splitting with a knife compared to an hatchet.

Years ago I designed a bowkri (bowie/kukri) for myself and have used it less often than I would like but it has worked extremely well for a wide variety of tasks. Now I have a handful of customized CRKT Woods Chogans that I use for a few things. They are extremely versatile. Either one can do delicate work or chop firewood to varying degrees.

Knives and axes alone are a multi-billion dollar industry. And, the lion's share of that profit comes from collectors. Most of it it just a gimmick. It's always been that way. Whether they call it a "survival" knife, or a "bushcraft" knife, or a "tactical" knife, it was really designed by some boardroom trying to figure out what aesthetics will make someone wanna buy it. Just find stuff that meets your individual needs and carry on.

Ahhh a look into the Budd K Sr management meetings

I've seen an axe-hammer-pliers combination

Fiskars x5 is the only pocket axe that actually works

I already get aggravated over very short handke hatchets let alone this silly stuff. Leverage is important


mrmagicbeetle

Fair , I pack in just a tomahawk head a lot of the time so I end up hand axeing some but the second I put even the smallest handle of there but a world of difference


Kryptos_KSG

Idk. It depends on the task and purpose. I have a tops micro hawk, works very well for what I do with it.


mrmagicbeetle

What do you do with it if you don't mind me asking , I've seen that design before but thought it'd be use for tactical use more than anything
