how would you compair this to the SOG axe?

The SOG axe ' blade is much smaller, and offers less room for cuts. I would say that the sheath is much sturdier with the United Cutlery axe.

Same Quality as S.O.G. The metal is good (Heavier than SOG) but unlike the SOG version there is no protective metal collar. It all depends on what you are looking for. I wanted an ax that could really take the abuse and so far the UC gear is just as tough as the SOG gear. I also have K-BAR gear and I am very pleased with it but you pay a little more for the K-BAR.

I don't think that's a good idea. notice how well the handle is attached to the head.i doubt you would be able to the same. I have tried this on other axes with indifferent success. it will become loose.

I do not know but if you are going to use this for anything other than light duty i would look at the Swiss multi-tool or the Leatherman because they are much better built. The SOG that i have is broken! The case is the best part. SOG has some neat features but it will not hold up if you are really going to use it!

Works only for thinner axes. I tried on a maul and a large axe and the blade edge is not able to engage the 'sharpening elements' except for the upper and lower corners.

NOPE! I lost my first Klaw hatchet to a similar trick. Unless you can figure out a good way to reinforce it, don't even try. If you want a sturdy NERF melee weapon, I recommend the Warlock Axe. Now get back out there, soldier!

No, it is a solid figure with moving appendages. More of a desk statuette than anything. If it will be played with, the axe doesn't really stay in the hand too well nor for too long.

I plan on buying whatever razor I like and modifying its handle if need be with some duck tape (a few or many turns to make it fatter and stick in there securely). I wouldn't worry too much about getting something "compatible" if you are a fix-it type. Also, such surely beats paying 72 bucks for their "warhammer" model which seems about as effective at everything as this one.

That's exactly what I have, and it works perfectly. Carries the weight really well. Obviously not a CC weapon but a beast to be shown off.

It's a little axe remember. It seems like it would last a while as long as whatever you plan on using it for isn't to big! I have not used it yet. Hope that helps.

No large enough for a typical axe. I had to cut mine to get it to fit. The material isn't the greatest. If looking for something longer than a once a year camping trip i would pass. My blade length is just over 8 inches and it didn't fit.

Well I can't speak for the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Knife because I have never owned one. But I can tell you the SOG is an amazing knife, I don't regret the purchase at all. In fact I have 2 of these and 2 of the "pup" versions of this knife.

If the pieces of wood were greater than 6' in diameter (or width if they're triangular) i would go with the X27. Smaller wood would be fine with this axe but up to about 2" only. If the wood is smaller than 2" and not too knotty, then I would look into a knife for wood processing via that method; I use a Spyderco Schempp Rock for "batoning".

In my humble opinion, I would say the Schrade SCAXE2L is a fantastic choice for a survival axe. It is very well built with a very comfortable handle, and comes with a fire striker in the handle and sharpening stone. Alas, it can be used as an effective hammer as well.

Not likely, its a lot smaller than the picture makes it out to be. That, and it will most likely break the first time you use it, also, the "axe head" is virtually useless. Its just slightly bigger than a hatchet, it has multi tool look, but all the options it has for use are the minimal requirement to call it a tool for its purpose. I use it as a splitting wedge for firewood now, its ok for that. Money better spent on a sog double sided axe for entry purposes, a knife with a dulled tip for cutting seatbelts with window punch of course. A 24" set of channel locks will work that coupling of yours, homedepot.

I used some hand files to get mine to approximately 25 degrees with a convex edge, and it works just fine. This website has good general axe grinding instructions. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/recreational_trails/publications/fs_publications/99232823/page15.cfm

No, the handle is too long and the head is too light. It's a great hawk, best of the genre for the money, but it won't throw well. SOG makes one that is much easier to throw, made for that in fact and it is made of one piece of steel so it will stand up to the type of use it gets when someone is learning.
