Who uses the Gerber Back Paxe?

[Farnsrocket]

I got the axe/knife combo one as a gift:

It's definitely not for full sized chores, but is nice for small stuff as others have mentioned.
I keep mine in my trunk.

...there is not much it can do that a 7" - 9" fixed blade knife can't do ... and for the weight the knife is a much better balanced & versitile tool IMHO. An in-expensive, light-weight tomahawk might be better for most purposes. (a tool that is really un-abtrosive when lashed to almost any pack.) YMMV ...

I would go with the Sport Axe instead. It has pretty much the same head and is of similar weight, but the handle is longer. Have found mine very useful, when I need to travel light.

+1. I have the sport model, and it works fairly decent. I can't imagine a short handled hatchet doing much good.
