I am a big fan of the traditional camp axe. Extremely practical and just a great design for so many reasons. Just add or extend the shaft several inches on Paul's hatchet and make the head a bit larger-and done. This type of axe was made somewhat famous by the Scagel camp axe many years ago, but obviously people working in the great outdoors have been using such tools for hundreds of years. I would LOVE to see one that is made with the best steel on earth-INFI. Bark River actually made one I believe for 2009 or 2010 as an updated version of the Scagel design as well. I have been doing some research to get one myself this summer-and the choices are very limited for a quality made camp axe-which is why I think Jerry should come up with an INFI made camp axe. Like seen in the Zilla and other influenced designs- how sick would a camp axe be? The BRK is actually very nice, but as tough as 1070 or whatever is- some base of 1095/1055 I think. Its just not INFI- and truth be told- as many collector/users as there are on the forums here alone... I really think this would be a big hit and people would come out of the woodwork to get a special run- INFI camp axe for their collection, backpack, safe, shed or garage.. Its been quite a # of years since an axe has been released no? What do you folks think? Would you purchase such a thing if Jerry came out with the best camp axe on earth? Summer is coming soon-and an INFI camp axe would be just the thing! :thumbup: :) Thx!
 
There have been a few INFI hand axes, just not in large numbers to date. If you do a search you'll find many threads like this one, asking Jerry to offer some variation of a hand axe/camp axe/hawk.

I'd love an infi hatchet or small axe of some sort just a tad bigger than pauls hatchet I'd think that infi would be the most ideal steel for an axe or hatchet especialy with a res-c handle but i'm just dreaming.
 
The first one would deff do it Will. Thx for posting the pics man. Have seen both before, but they are custom shop and also very rare. The megalodon whatever axe is a beauty of course-but just not practical as a camp axe. Id like some form of simple G10-black/tan maybe-on something like the first one. The first pic is a great example tho- and yeh Im sure I'm not the first to ask and start and thread like this. Shows you how many people would probably buy something like this in a production run. Here's for wishing! :)
 
Doesn't hurt to keep asking--eventually somtimes it works. :thumbup:

I've been asking for a 12-18" INFI machete for more than ten years and have yet to see one, but the Basic 11 released a year ago was a step in the right direction.
 
I think it would be sweet if they just made the head so you could throw different shafts on there for different purposes.

I would love and INFI axe or hatchet head.

I would use one. I think SR77 would be an excellent steel choice from what I have seen in use with big choppers. Something simple like a cross between the crash rat and Pauls hatchet would be great. I would use it on the fireground and camping.

Ya - I am with you on this one. That would need to be a hunk of INFI and might be more cost prohibitive.

But a SR77 would be nice and heck just make the head of metal the rest could be wood. The design part would make it interesting - :D :thumbup:

Of course my head is made of wood often enough so who knows........

Man a HAWK made out of SR-77, now that would be a beater for sure!!! Not one of the fancy breachers, just a HAWK like in -T-III's post...
 
Take the little beak off the back of the Busse Axe Will posted, give it a little more axe-like edge shape, and it'd be perfect.
 
During the wait for an infi, axe, I can attest that the crash axe is a NICE replacement in the mean time.
 
An INFI camp axe would be a sure hit. No doubt about it. Sounds like it's time for another death chant.
