Good present or a 15 y/o kid who I've already bought a tactical hatchet and machete for in past christmas'?

Absolutely, from a guy who loves my swords I'm sure he would appreciate them very much
1886975
Yes the sheath it comes in isn't the best and the grip on the hand can come undone but the sword overall won't break and are made pretty well
1886976
Very much so. The swords are extremely sharp, though. So much so that the tips can easily puncture the sheath, if you take the little plastic pieces off.

I think so, they're pretry sharp though so that's really all id watch out for but other wise your 15 year old will probably think it's an awesome gift

Not very well. It doesn't even preform it's primary function as a tamahawk. Ur better off getting an actual hatchet/pocket axe

In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter. It is very well built, with all the extra's that you get with the bow set it is well worth the price. I bought this set for my 5 year old grandson, it is almost a little advanced for his age. I would say it would be perfect for your 9 year oldgirl. She would have lots of years of use before having to advance to a more complex bow. Matter of fact, I like using this bow myself. It ismost definitely not a toy. It's a powerful little bow. Bear makes a very high quality archery bow and equipment. I hope I didn't overly answer yourquestion. However, I believe your child would have years of use and enjoyment with this bow set............... In my open honest opinion, buy it for you daughter.

I would reccomend it , a lot of junk and toys out there, this is a good entry level and good quality for the price range, I think the pull distance is adjustable on this one that is why I bought this one , there are smaller ones out there but that 11 year old will start growing fast trust me, he should be lucky to get one, remember to lay down the saftey rules first, hugo's online had the best price last year, a straw hay bale wrapped in a plastic bag makes a good cheap target

In my opinion, I put that on my Christmas list,so I would want one and I'm a 8 year old girl and I'm not joking,I mean it. You could open it before Christmas if you want,and they are not meant to be touched.

Mcmorty, as you probably realise a farmer would have heaps of different tools at his disposal, but the Leatherman 300 Supertool has several very commonly used tools in one handy tool he can keep on his belt. So, although I personally don't hold Christmas as significant I would say any farmer would love one for Christmas. Longtime Leatherman Owner

If you're serious about this excursion, get a real knife. I love my Leatherman, but it's not very useful in the wilderness. The saw takes forever to go through a 1-inch stick and the knife can't be batoned so if you were planing on using it for anything like that, look elsewhere. Although I do recommend having a multitool at all times because you never know when it's gonna come in handy.

No, those run around $150+. This is still pretty good if your looking for something for the kids though, it's cheaper, lights up and has sound effects and is pretty durable. It has a fixed blade. If your a collector though this might not interest you.

It really is an awesome knife he would love it. Theres a few different blade options you'd have to choose from. Personally I did the one without any serration and I did the curved edge one instead of the tanto blade style. Honestly I would do the non serrated curved one but thats up to you haha. Also they have it in a tan color like a desert tan so maybe that would be cool for someone in the military, or olive green. I did the black and love it. I could go on and on about it but for the money, its the best pocket knife i've ever owned :D. If you do let me know how he liked it!?

I would recommend getting the drill which comes with a battery ( maybe two ) and the charger. That way you have a nice drill/charger, and believe me he will be happy.

For the price I would recommend it for his first crossbow. You have crossbows and you have compound crossbows. It depends on how much you want to spend and your range. Also, keep in mind the replacement strings for the Barnett crossbows are more than double the cost verses the Inferno Fury.

I would suggest getting her the bamboo to start, as it is cheaper and if she really enjoys it it will teach her the small learning curve as well as the care for a tablet. If she keeps up with it, the investment of only about a hundred bucks (which is still a lot to me, mind you) will seem small, and when next birthday comes around, you could grab her a bigger better version. Truly, if she does spend a lot of time doing it, this is completely preference here, I would maybe get her the intuos 4 and let her really step into the world of using an intuos. That is from the point of view of someone who was a 13 year old who would love to have had the "big guns" to play with. It may not be ery realistic, though. Something to note is that the pen tips, the "nibs" on the new intuos, are made of a black plastic material that wears down. The new drawing surface of the intuos 4 is slightly rough, so that it feels like paper. When you use the nibs on this surface, it grinds them down quickly, and you are stuck buying replacements like blades for shavers. The previous intuos 3 versions did not have this problem. The intuos 3 surface is smooth, and the tips last forever. A thirteen year old may not be quite ready for an intuos 4 that requires a bit of finesse to use in said circumstance, as worn down nibs apparently can damage your drawing surface, leading to buying replacements for that. Get her a decent bamboo and if she sticks with it, upgra

I would have loved having this as a kid. Truth be told, it is a bit to heavy duty for that age. With the hand and half blade (polypropylene as well), I shattered my knuckle while sparring. Give him a few more years to understand and respect the blade. Hope this helps.

My ten and five year old share it. Its ok for target practice in the back yard. It will hurt. I shot my ten year old and he cried, he shot me and I apologized, I didnt think it would sting as much as it did. The sting only lasted about 3 seconds. If your ten year old wants to us it to train to hunt then I suggest something more powerful as this is more of a toy. A good toy none the less.

There are a lot of reviews on this axe so i can only speak from the axe i received. The hatchet side was sharp right out of the box and will make quick work of anything really; of course i sharpened it after the first test because that is just what i do. The spike side however was pretty blunt, I would recommend sharpening that side if you can/are not happy with it; it did work right out of the box just not to my standards. I personally would recommend wrapping it with a longer piece of paracord, if you do a youtube search "how to wrap paracord on a tomahawk" and you can choose what method works best for you.

Personally, I think this is more for toddlers. It's too big to fit in the pocket. My 3 year old has one and loves it. But it's sole purpose is to teach him responsibility before moving up to the real thing. Depending on the 5 year old, I would go with either a real pocket knife or a smaller wood one (also a play knife but probably one step up from this one).

My advise is to go to a range where they rent bows. Have him try out a few of those to see what his ideal draw weight would be. He would need something that isn't so light that it's too easy, unless he is just starting to learn. Also he would need something that isn't too hard to pull. But starting out at 40 is a bad idea.
