Well, the tittle says it all. I'm interested in an axe, for camping and hiking. And I'm between this two:

Which one would you recommend the most? Thanks! :thumbup:
 
I have the Ontario. There's few better choices for toughness and cost effectiveness.
 
Personally, just by product reputation and quality, I'd buy the Ontario. I'd also take carbon steel over stainless.
 
I just got the schrade and its sk5. So its going to be 1075 vs sk5. Now in my use its a great tool. I have chopped split poked its been great. Now some small rolling from wailing on a nasty and I mean nasty knot. Overall though get it, 50 bucks in my pocket never cuts branches with one swing.
Now I can see how the design and addition of size weight and micarta would make the rd hawk the winner if price isn't concerned.
 
Of course without owning both My opinion on which is better doesn't mean anything get what you want.
Until I get the rd hawk that is... For science ;)
