I wouldn't call that a heavy use tool.

I'd buy an Estwing if your gonna use/ abuse it.

The Buck 757 Camp Axe was in the catalog from 2002 thru 2016. Most commonly black but also in red and yellow. A blue one has been shown here in the past but suspect it was a sample. I can't speak directly to use except to say I had a similar Fiskar version carried on the Mule for light duty trail trimming. It was replaced by the Buck Froe. I think it would be an OK choice for light camp chores such as driving tent stakes or kindling preparation.
