iunio camping axe with bag

Initially, I was looking for a traditional hatchet (wooden handle) for an upcoming backpacking trip I was planning. But, after watching some youtube videos on "best backpacking hatchet" which had nothing but positive reviews of this camping axe, I decided to purchase one for myself. First, I have only 3 complaints for the axe. 1) For any backpacker, weight is always at the forefront of any purchase. This axe is heavy. But, I made the decision to add it to my kit because I felt the positives of the axe outweighed the negatives. Plus, I purchased it knowing that it would weigh a lot. So, this is one complaint that I was already anticipating when I was making my purchase. 2) The handle of the axe is round. So, the user is not able to easily index it and know where the cutting edge of the axe blade is. This became an issue when chopping fire wood and the axe head would dislodge and loosen/ unscrew after every swing. At first, I thought it was a defective. But, after a few swings, I realized that it was user error. After making adjustments to my grip to properly index the axe, I had no issues with the axe head. 3) After, normal use, the compass at the bottom of the handle came off exposing a needle. The first 2 issues weren't really issues at at all. And. the 3rd issue was taken care by contacting IUNIO. I have to say that dealing with IUNIO has been nothing short of AMAZING. They are a company that makes a quality product and stands behind it. I was contacted by Candy, who made sure a new piece was sent out, made sure it was received, and followed up to make sure I was satisfied. I wish IUNIO made more products for backpacking because after using their axe and multi tools, and dealing with Candy, I trust them 100%. I know that I will get a quality product, backed by a quality company. The replacement compass hasn't broken off, even after many uses. I love having the option to either pack the axe up in the included pouch or, to put the axe together and carry it on my pack. Having that option, helps me to be versatile in the field. Also, you can adjust the length of the axe handle to suit your needs. This axe has become a permanent part of my backpacking kit-regardless of the weight. I recommend it 100%. You will not be disappointed. And, you can purchase with confidence, knowing that IUNIO will stand by their product and really have their customer's satisfaction in mind.

Amazon was the shipper of this item and they really messed up the order. It's wasn't the fault of the seller at all but they still fixed Amazon's mistake! They are a great vendor/seller! I have now purchased several items from them just because I know they are a good seller! This review is for their hatchet. It's a nice hatchet but it's definitely not an axe - you can't chop logs for the fire place with it; it just doesn't have the heft. It's great for chopping smaller limbs for a camp fire or sharpening stakes and such though. It has O-rings so you can store items in the handle without them getting wet; like matches. The ferro rod works REALLY well if you know how to use one. Just be sure to get the black off the rod (like all ferro rods) or you won't get any sparks. I've used it on several "light" camping trips now (you'll see from some of the different scenes in the video) and it did fine. I'll be going down to the Everglades next week to do some "heavier" camping and I'll really put it to the test down there. All in all, I like the hatchet; it's a good multi-tool. It's light enough to carry on your belt or rucksack when you need to and conveniently small enough to keep stored in my Jeep. You will need to sharpen it before you use it though because it doesn't come very sharp. I'd definitely recommend this hatchet to my friends.

Good quality product. Feels sturdy with utility options. Comes with case. Although it comes with a tape, wish the ridges were a bit smoother as without the tape your hands will get bruised.

I received this axe to test and am very pleased with it. It breaks down into a small carry case and easily assembles for the size needed. It is weighted perfectly and adding the survival items is a nice touch. I had to try the striking stone right away and boom! We had fire! It came pre sharpened, and is ready to chop kindling Or trees right out of the box! Great job on this awesome axe!

This is nice ax for small tasks. It makes two useful 'cutters' that two people can use. The ax with a short handle and a two sided saw/knife with 2.5 inch very high quality sharp blades. So its perfect for cutting branches 2 inches in diameter for your fire or to hammer stakes into the ground for your tent, but its not designed for chopping wood to last you through the winter and its not for log cabin construction. Both the ax and the knife are good for chopping up a chicken and scaling fish or any food prep you can probably skin a deer with it too. And you can pack some salt and pepper in the handles.

I was doing research on Survival Equipment and found this product on Youtube . First, this Axe Set was a Great Purchase ( Carry Case Set ) . Quality is above average but the paint finish could be better . The All in One features are superb , quick & easy to assemble . Save yourself Money & Time Just Buy This . Best bang for Buck

Love it

Loved the ax but was relatively disappointed on my first use. Took it camping and after two swings the ax head began to twist loose. I tighted it as hard as i could and it refused to stay tight. Basically mid swing the head would turn and I couldn’t chop anything. Which led to no fire and a really sore wrist. Also the compass flew out mid swing in the woods so that’s long gone. And lastly the blade on mine was extremely dull. Overall, I really like the design, but could definitely use some improvements.

Es muy fácil de transportar, no están pequeña como para que no te sirva ni tan grande como para que te estorbe. Obviamente no vas a tirar un árbol con ella, pero si te sirve como para tirar ramas para hacer una fogata, los aditamentos que trae también son muy prácticos y funcionan a la perfección. (Vienen con un poco de filo, pero es recomendable sacarle un poco más antes de usar y llevar una piedra por si pierde el filo) en un principio me sorprendió porque el estuche se ve muy pequeño, pero al armarla sorprenden las dimensiones . 100 de 100

Apenas la recibi pero no he tenido oportunidad de usarla en campoi la bolsa y la forma en que se guarda es muy conveniente y puede estar permanentemente en el vehiculo igual para ayudar en diversas situaciones el material se vie bien pero habra de ver con el paso del tiempo que resistan las roscas y que el filo se mantenga bien buen producto en general
