Swiss Military Surplus Small Swiss Axe 15.75″ Overall, 1.6 Pound Head – M4328
January 25, 2018 - Comment
If you can handle the weight, an axe is one of those tools you’d trade many others for in a survival situation. It can perform all the duties of a good saw, large fixed blade, and a small survival knife. If sharpened correctly it can also feather a stick and create some extremely fine kindling. This is one of those axes that can do all this and more. The 13 inches hardwood ash handle has a straight profile and the 3.5 inches blade axe head is superbly attached – that sucker isn’t going anywhere. Swiss made, so you know the stainless steel will perform as well as any for both edge retention and corrosion resistance. It has an extremely nice feeling whether you’re holding an inch away from the head or an inch away from the butt end – it’s just very well balanced. Of course, it’s got a hammer pommel on the other side of the axe for banging in tent pegs and the entire package weighs 2.25 pounds without a sheath.

Five Stars Good product
The Swiss are certainly above normal on product! SHTF type of product with reliability! reliability will be what you want and the Swiss know how to make it.
Its not perfect but it’s rock and roll Incredibly solid feeling axe but it’s not perfect. It’s a fixer upper or at least mine was. Completely dull out of box with alot discoloration on the blade. That being said the steel is decent as it took a bit to get an edge on it. I used a dual sided King stone because that’s what I had and this was my first hatchet so this was a learning experience. The head profile is more of a splitter than chopper but if you have the patience and skill maybe you can alter that. The handle grain orientation…
