Combat Ready EDA ? Any earthly use ?

Purchased one for sapling work a few years ago. Initially fun to use, but too big to function as an edc and I found any heavy fixed blade or light hatchet did better with saplings. Now it sits in my collection and it’s unlikely it will see more use

Kinda what I was afraid of . It just looks too small and light for a good chopper , yet too bulky to pocket much .
 
Want to laugh at it, but similar was tried years ago -

Those were meant as small hunter's hatchets, usually used with a baton on joints, etc.....

Here's someone using this new one for chopping -

Thanks for your reply and the video :
Action starts ~ 8:20 min . Apparently this thing is really very poor at wood chopping , but I guess it's supposed to be more like a folding fighting mini-hawk ? I'm not a hawk guy , but I think they are supposed to be more slice and slash than chop . Still most of my larger fighting knives would have done more damage to that wood than this "EDA " . My CS Trail Master would have done MUCH better . Even my big folding Rajah would have been superior by far.:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 
It does look like the wave device functions pretty well alongside that design, but I don't see all that much practical purpose for it other than scaring the hell out of people. :rolleyes:

Do you think it would replace a combat ready SAK in my pocket? ;)

Replace your SAK, your wallet, your phone, your keys, your car, even most of your friends. The Combat Ready folding hatchet can do anything and everything!
 
It's for any time your Ninjavitis flares up. Take it up, wield it, pose in front of the mirror looking dangerous. Feel sanity return, put it back in the box with the other knife-like objects, and go back to carrying a sensible knife.

It’s made by Rogovets Knives.

Nixelplix Nixelplix what is that folding pick called and where can I get it!?

Google "combat ready folding pick" and you should be able to find one.

I'm actually impressed by that folding pick, it's one of those things you'll probably never use, but I respect that they tried to tacticalise an old strange design. Here's what it's based on (Afghani Lohar) -

This is awesome! I didn't know it was an old design.
 
I have to say I actually own the folding axe and folding pick detailed in this thread. The axe is sorta lame, but I'm sure it could have its uses.
The pick is really fun, you can just flick it out and it opens one handed.

These are both things I have purchased in my quest to find a collapsible/folding tactical tomahawk like the one I read about in some William Gibson novel. A very silly quest, I know.
