Product Description
Handy and easy on the eyes, the 682M trekking axe from FOX Knives is a beast in the field. Weighing nearly 14 ounces, it’s heavy enough to chop through hard woods and thick brush, but not so heavy that you can’t generate power Read More

I was merely following the drop and had hit the remind me button and massdrop just charged me for this overpriced ax!! I'm pretty ticked off. I was merely curious to see if enough people joined the drop to make this happen.

Strange design... never seen anything like it. The flat blade would probably make it a good chopper, but I'm guessing it would be terrible at splitting. In terms of durability, I suppose if you understand it's limitations and don't try to do too much with it, it would be fine. Might make a solid addition to a bugout bag as a fire prep / wood processing tool, particularly due to its weight. But I don't know if I would want to trust my life to it. And handle replacement might be a challenge. I'll just stick with my small machete.

From the Fox Knives website for the 682M Trekking Axe: Blade stainless steel 1.4116 Hardness HRC 56-58 Handle sassafrass wood Blade length        14 cm     5.51 ” Overall length       35 cm    13.77 ” Thickness         3,5 mm    0.14 ” Weight            440 g     15.52 oz According to Amazon the Fox Knives 682/M Trekking 09FX005 Axe:
  • Blade head is composed of Sandvik 12C27 high-grade steel for maximum durability.
  • Handle is made of sassafras wood
  • Blade-length: 5.5 inches. Total length: 13.8 inches. Weight: 13.8 ounces
-------------------------------------------------- 56-58 HRC seems about right or maybe a little hard for an axe. Much will depend on the shape of the axe head and what kind of grind it has to say how tough/brittle (totally different than hardness) it is. Axes are supposed to be relatively blunt, for lack of a better word, compared to a knife blade if you intend to chop with them. It's not a knife on the end of a stick and it shouldn't be at such an angle as to make it "hair-popping" sharp if you want to do any real work with it.

'ats not an axe, this is an axe!

Very aesthetically pleasing piece, but not necessary or advisable to put up with mystery "stainless" steel at this price point

This looks like a balloon axe you win at the Fair.

Might be good as an Ulu if you remove the handle! Then again not at that price. Get a real hatchet.

I don't know a whole lot about axes and hatchets....but I'm wondering if this is just marketing to the wrong crowd? I agree it doesn't look like it'll do much heavy chopping, but how about as a small hatchet for carvers? Splitting small pieces, rough stock removal?
I've seen similar looking ones marketed for that going for more than this, but I don't know the specifics of what makes one good for that or not.
Just a thought.

KavikMorakniv makes an axe, that makes these axes obsolete. Pick up a morakniv axe, for light chopping or heavy cutting it's all you will ever need.

TortoiseThunderHmmmm.... Plastic handle with multiple reviewers stating the handle is chipping away where it joins the head? No thanks, not a risk I'm eager to take

If you want good looks and outstanding performance go for the Granfors Bruks. It will last a lifetime and your grandkids will love the heirloom down the line 😄
