Which axe should I buy?
I’m looking for a good, mid-sized camp axe for under $40. I am considering Gerber, Buck, Snow & Neilley, Wetterlings, Estwing, and others. What, in your opinion, is the best axe for the money. Feel free to mention any reasonably priced brand.
check out Fiskars, if you think they look like the gerber its because they make the gerber axes, but they cost less and you can usually find them at home depot or any hardware store. I have the little gerber back paxe in my hunting pack, its a great little hatchet, I found out about the fiskars after I got the gerber, could have saved myself $10-$15.
I grew up with estwings, both hammers and axes. they are pretty tough, as long as you don’t lose them they’ll give you 20+ years of service. I still have one I got from my father, she’s rusty but always works. the gerber feels better in the hand but only time will tell if it will hold up.

Axes $44.98 Axes traces the intimate relationship between the texts published by Willa Cather and William Faulkner between 1922 and 1962. When those texts are juxtaposed and examined carefully, the two writers seem intensely conscious of, and responsive to, each other’s work. In fact, both at some point appear to have caricatured or parodied the other in print. Judging by the texts they left behind, they titillated, offended, exhilarated, and—especially—energized each other. Some readers may conclude that for forty years they helped create each other—the rival geniuses and axes of American fiction in the twentieth century. At the end of their lives, Cather planned a story to appear posthumously as advice to Faulkner about life and literary style; he planned his last novel to answer her in spirit and published it a month before his death. This groundbreaking study is provocative and sure to ignite the imaginations of literary critics and devoted readers of each author. |
