COMBAR FoldaXe Pro
ACLIM8's COMBAR FoldaXe Pro is a Red Dot Award-winning adventurer's multi-tool that integrates the company's FoldaXe base with the knife and saw from their Pro Kit. Beautiful and compact, this new COMBAR is built to help you conquer five of the core outdoor survival tasks: chopping; splitting; hammering; cutting; and sawing.
Closed up for carry, the COMBAR FoldaXe Pro extends 15.75" long, and weighs 900 grams - just under 2 pounds. As the name suggests, the axe portion of the tool has a folding hatchet head. It's made of hardened stainless steel and, at 5" x 2.5", designed specifically for chopping campfire starter and trimming small branches. On the opposite side of the hatchet head is a hammer head, also made of hardened stainless steel. It's largely for hammering tent pegs and wooden stakes, though a textured strike zone provides enough traction and friction for tasks such as beating tree bark into fiber strips and smashing rocks when necessary.
The COMBAR FoldaXe Pro has a hollow, glass-reinforced polymer shaft that serves as the hatchet / hammer head handle, plus houses the multi-tool's survival knife and folding pruning saw. The knife is a fixed-blade, drop-point issue with a 4.53" 420HC stainless steel blade. The saw comes with a 10" 5 TPI high-carbon steel blade for wood pruning.
ACLIM8 also makes the COMBAR FoldaXe Pro survival multi-tool in a Titanium edition.
Muchas danke to Yanko Design.

Vipukirves Leveraxe
Honestly, the Vipukirves Leveraxe initially intrigued me because the guy holding it in one of the above photos is wearing black-and-white gloves that sort of make him look like he has a hook hand, and I thought perhaps...
Firearm-Mounted Axe Heads
Since The Walking Dead started again, I've been thinking I need a new zombie-decimating weapon for use in my daydreams about stuffing them with bullets and hacking off their heads. Melee Mods' Tact-Axe and Gatchet should...
Chain Link Zombie Slayer Axe
Blacksmith Stephen Heeney designed and welded this chain link axe himself. He does not recommend using it to chop wood. He recommends using it to hack the ever loving viral entrails and decaying brain matter out of zombies...
Zubin Axe Survival Staff
The Zubin is a walking stick. That can also chop firewood. Or spear a fish. Or pop my friend Cornelius in the back of the head with a slingshotted acorn. Ping! That'll teach him to walk faster than 2.7 mph. Equally appealing:...
Trucker's Friend Survival Tool
I think it would be very uncomfortable to get axed in the head with this Trucker's Friend. I guess that's why they picked a zombie to play the receiving end of the axing-someone-in-the-head demonstration. So no one would...
Apocalypse Tactical Tomahawk
This is what I have to say about the Apocalypse Tactical Tomahawk: sometimes, God does man a favor. Such as when He allows him to conceive and actualize pasties. Two nights in a row now, I've attended functions that randomly...

Gerber Downrange Tomahawk
"Ancient instrument of war." It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? So does "tomahawk" and "smashes through walls like Thor on a coke binge." Gerber's Downrange Tomahawk modernizes the traditional chopping and whacking...

Omniblade Machete Multi-Tool
Uh, I know it's called an Omniblade, but I still wonder if it's wise to hold this apocalypse-ready machete multi-tool from omni ends. For example, it seems like the Omniblade grip the dude in the photo has chosen is just...
Cole-Bar Multi-Functional Hammer
Although I enjoy calling people tools, I don't really understand how the term came to be an insult. Aren't tools generally helpful and beneficial to the cause of man, as opposed to the burdens of dead-weight idiocy implied...
Cold Steel 7" GI Tanto Knife
I say, why have a small child when you can have a knife the size of a small child instead? Seems like at least 988 people agree with me, which is how many Amazon reviews Cold Steel's GI Tanto has so far. Average rating:...
Granberg Chainsaw Mill
If someone twisted my arm put me into a Half Nelson and demanded I select some form of manual labor as my Sunday Funday activity, Granberg's Chainsaw Mill would be my first choice...

Logmatic Wedge Axe Firewood Splitters
Using the Logmatic is kind of like digging a hole. Through a tree. The un-axes, or rather, Wedge Axes, are ergonomic hand tools designed especialy for splitting firewood and kindling. Place your Logmatic's flat head on...
