This is just what I've been looking for to add to my backpacking kit. I needed a hammer for my tent pegs, an axe for fire wood, and a large knife for making tinder, and doing camp tasks. The overall weight is perfect to replace a small saw and a large knife: it has the power and blade length to accomplish the common tasks of setting up camp, while having the edge control to cut food, whittle sticks, and make the small items required to support comfort in the outdoors. I've waited for several years for the opportunity to obtain this small axe, and it is exactly what I have been hoping for.
