A good belt axe is a good friend to have with you.Not only will it help you build a shelter,harvest materials of all types and be a good backup weapon it can also do all the basic things a knife can do.The belt axe here is what is known or refered to as a hammer poll belt axe.It has a hammer poll on one side and a cresent shaped blade on the opposite side.This is a great belt axe made by Jim Hoffman.It has a four inch cutting edge and a 13 inch handle.The hammer poll is great for cracking nuts and knapping a new edge on a gun flint.If I could only take one tool it would be this belt axe.
