The Sport Axe II, like all Gerber axes, is built with an eye to sturdy troubleshooting assistance. The Sport Axe II is the middle brother of the Gerber single hand axe series. Its handle is a bit longer than the Back Paxe II and slightly shorter than the Camp Axe II. Featuring an innovative easily-removed sheath that still maintains a slim profile and stores neatly within the handle; the Sport Axe II serves its owner with the excellence that modern technology and good steel have combined to deliver. The handle features a soft touch over-mold to keep the Sport Axe II securely and comfortably in your hands.

Buy this one, over here! Bought this axe for a family car camping trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. First, the axe is light and compact enough for my medium framed 12 y/o son to split logs endlessly (and enthusiastically). The axe really does seem to chop three times faster. It did finally get somewhat dull after a few days of abuse, but it never lost its splitting power. Overall a great buy and a good seller to deal with.
I literally have split a ½ a cord of firewood … I literally have split a ½ a cord of firewood with this Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet since my purchase back on 12-2016. The largest piece of firewood I have split with the Gereber 17.5 inch hatchet is 3 to 5 inches round at approximately 18 inches long. Some hardwoods and Fir in a variety of different shapes. The blade is still razor sharp though the blade does need a touch up when I missed a piece of wood I was splitting. I have pounded, split wood down the middle, and slammed this Gereber 17.5…
Legendary This is a great splitting axe that will handle more than you expect it to for its light weight. This is SHARP and has stayed that way for three cords of wood so far.One thing I would check before purchasing is the price of the similar fiskars axe – they are the same company and my gerber even says fiskars on it.
