MTech USA MT-AXE8 Camping Axe, Black Stainless Steel, Cord Wrapped Handle, 15-Inch Overall

Very well packaged. Good fit & finish. Cord handle wrap is evenly and tightly wrapped. Came surprisingly sharp and ready for action, whatever that might be. Good size and weight. Smooth, black matte finish is flawless (until I chop something, of course). I'm almost disappointed, I never buy ANYTHING that I can't find something to bitch about. OK...if you had to do a lot of heavy chopping, the cord wrap would become uncomfortable, but I expected that and I planned to wrap over the cord with self adhesive camo tape anyhow. Overall I'm VERY pleased and I think most people who buy this tomahawk will be as well. Best 20 bucks I've spent in a long time. Oh, had to add, since sheaths are often a bone of contention. Fits OK, relatively sturdy nylon. Nothing to write home about, but it does its job. If for some reason you think you might need this for self defense....get it out now, cause it takes a while. This is definitely no quick release sheath. ;') Does have a nylon belt loop, unlike say, the CS Trench Hawk, which has a cool, cleverly designed, hard sheath but...DUH...no way to attach it to ....anything....which is not so clever.

This axe is great! This is axe is really cool looking and very sturdy. It's not for cutting trees that are wider than an average persons arm but it can be done. Idk if the the wrap is real paracord but with and without the wrap made no difference for comfort (the wrap broke after 50 or so throws at a tree). I always bring this axe with me whenever I go in the woods, the pointy side makes as a great self-defence weapon and the sheath it comes with is great, takes some practice to quick draw though. It takes a hell of a beating as as well. But this axe is overall just freaking awesome!

This tomahawk is usable right out of the box. It is sharp enough for most tasks you would want it for and it is very sturdy.The cord wrapping may come loose, but since I anticipated that I ran a bead of super glue down both edges before using it. I also prefer a sharper edge so I spent a few minutes sharpening the blade and spike. They took the sharper edge easily and seem to be holding it. I needed a hatchet for preparing firewood and clearing brush as well as trimming branches, but I also wanted a weapon. This tomahawk fits all my needs. It chops through everything I have put it to pretty easily and with just a little practice it proved to be a good throwing hatchet. The price is very reasonable. I plan on buying a couple of these as gifts. I highly recommend this tomahawk.

Well made, heavy enough for some serious work. The paracord wrapping is strong yet supple. Absorbs a lot of the shock of repeated blows. Now, we know that at this price the steel is not A+, meaning it will have to be sharpened more frequently. But— that reasonable price!! I’ll be happy to do the extra sharpening.

Cons -The Paracord handle is nothing more than shoe string and broke the first day on the two that I used. The tang looks welded at the top of handle. Noticed this when I was lacing my own REAL paracord back on the axe. Pros- Light . Nice balance. A girl can throw this one. It is sharp and sticks good. Inexpensive. Wrap this with something before use or you will end up with several pieces of string and a sharp metal handle.

Seems strong and very well-made. It is definitely sharp. It's lightweight, which is a plus for me as a 76-year-old with arthritis.

To start, the ad clearly says “the one piece 440 stainless steel construction.....” which is obviously false when you see the weld in the photo. The weld is conveniently covered by the cord wrap, until you use the axe and it breaks. Three of the four axes broke within minutes of use as a throwing axe, going into soft pine boards. I shudder to think what would happen if you were really trying to use these as an axe, cutting harder woods for a fire. The snapping weld, and head flying off, could definitely hurt someone. You can easily see the discoloration in the welds, where they were not solid, creating a weak point. Next, the metal is suspect. The grain structure is not that of any serious SS I have ever seen. Looks more like a cast of some sort. Next, the cord wrap is useless. These had a total ‘in hand time’ of less than ten minutes and the wrap was already loose enough to start falling off the handle. Finally, the use of USA in the name, for no other reason than to mislead buyers into thinking this is a quality item from the USA is disgusting at best. I normally don’t do reviews, good or bad, but the extremely poor quality, the false advertising, and the risk of injury to family or friend really irritated me. I will not purchase any M-tech product, ever again, and hope you won’t either. Save your money. In the interest of fairness, one thing in the ad is true......the axe is easily portable, especially after it breaks in half. At that point it fits nicely in a back pants pocket.

This full Tang ax is light weight and very sharp

Me gustó mucho el hacha, es resistente y el metal es duro ya que trate de sacarle más filo y me costó trabajo, tiene buen peso, equilibrio y hay que aprender a manejarla, ya que de esto depende el buen uso y duración que le podamos dar. El tejido de la empuñadura esta bastante duro y resistente. Saludos.

love it. good weight to it flys nice. perfect for a first tomahawk, but I recomend taking the paracord off and drilling a hole through the handle and make wood handles for it, after a while the paracord will come loose and in m y case snape. but it works great

Conprata per regalo un po’ per scherzo è stata un’ottima sorpresa. Solida, semplice ma leggera è molto bella e divertente da lanciare. Non saprei per tagliare o per il campeggio ma comunque la consiglio

Cumple con las expectativas, buen agarre y peso bastante ligero su balance es bastante decente es en dos piezas, costo beneficio es de las mejores.

If you buy this make sure you put welding on because it will break min do not broke , i have reweld it and now it more robust. By the way the case is crap.
