Gerber is like that one friend everybody had. He had all the chances but failed always. Now he won´t get any chance soon.

Bushcrafters: we like light axes that are narrow and easy to maneuver for carving tasks.
Gerber: you're in luck! We've got a fat, dull, heavy axe that you can't re-handle. We also cut chunks out of the cheeks so they're nearly impossible to reprofile. Can I put you down for 2?

The “tactical lever action rifle” of the axe world 😆😆😆

I love your honesty. It’s evident that you don’t just try to please the manufacturers in order to get more free stuff. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I just bought 2 of these on Blade HQ for $35 each. One for my truck and the other just to mess around with. Thanks for always keeping it real.

now we need a video comparing all three of those axes.

for bushcraft, i just want a solid steel hatchet head, that's a need. i can make new handles out of maple, oak, hickory, ash, and more.

I am soooo glad you did this review!!! I have been waiting for someone to do this. And I am glad you are doing it

@artkingofwholefoods74 10 months ago

I ordered both of these. But after reading the comments I’m gonna cancel and get the Estwing. Thanks dude.

Great unbiased review as usual.
While that edge geometry is pretty horrendous i quite like the 'survival kit' idea, though it seems it could be improved in execution... which seems to be a theme in Gerber products.

@MadManGGs 2 years ago

This the best review I’ve ever seen. Great job.

@donwaldroopoutdoors3665 4 years ago

I’ve never bought a top end axe or hatchet like gransfors but everyone I’ve got had to sharpen it

@homie-gtv322 1 year ago

I absolutely love mine. I have the large one for backyard chopping and the hatchet for hiking/camping.

I heat my home with wood and hand split all our wood and those would not hold up to my 6'3" 325lbs butt abusing them... I'll stick with my fiskers and old school fireman's axe and a hand made double bit thanks for your time and saving me and cash much appreciated

@cristianflorescu2827 4 years ago

I like the small one, but... X7 is kind a legend 😅🙋‍♂️

Nice intro 😁

@kennywheelus6857 4 years ago

I just bought a council tools Hudson axe,2lbs head,5260 spring steel,an its made to use the back of the axe head for hitting tent pegs an harder things an I have a lifetime warranty on it,I'm gonna stain m handle an get something like a leather wrap off easy for the neck to help with over strikes.

@mikeyob4271 4 years ago

Thank you for good information. I like to keep my gear light as possible.

@jimzwerlein6012 4 years ago

Great review! Thanks for your time in making this review very informative and to some great points for the work those tools will do! Keep up the great videos! Thanks again!

@Elementiu520 4 years ago

I believe the cutouts on the axe face are called Phantom Bevels they reduce the likelihood of the ax head sticking into the wood and make it easier to pull out if it does Council Tool uses similar cutouts on some of their axes
