Product Tested: Wetterlings 20" hunting ax
Price paid, where purchased: $35 Ebay
Similar products tried: Estwing, Plumb,
How long/where tested: 1 year
Rating: 1 to 5 5
Summary: I prefer an ax to a saw for backpacking due to it's versatility. I've carried many types and weights over the years. This ax has the best of both worlds, made of Swedish handforged steel and a Rockwell hardness of 58 it holds an edge like nothing I've ever used. The strong 20" Hickory handle gives power in the swing. It has a 1.5lb head that makes it very light to carry, with an overall weight of only 2lbs,7oz. It has a flat pole on the back to drive stakes with and fits very nicely inside the compression straps of my pack.
