## Description

Product description ESEE GIBSON AXE The made in the U.S.A. Gibson Axe was designed by James Gibson as a small, compact axe that will easily fit in a backpack. Gibson’s stated goal was a comfortable using tool that could do most camp chores, as well as being used as a carving axe. The Viking bearded head allows for close up work and the finger grooves / textured scales along with the swell on the end provides an excellent gripping surface when chopping. Care/Maintenance: ESEE carbon steel knives are made from 1095 steel. 1095 is a top choice for professional cutlery designed for hard use, it will rust and stain if not properly cared for – especially on the cutting edge and around the laser engraving. It is the user's responsibility to keep the blades properly lubricated and cleaned. We suggest using a dry film rust inhibitor such as AWT EXTREME FORCE or AWT NATURES EXTREME.

Review: Small, well made bushcraft axe - I gave 5 stars because this is exactly what I expected & wanted. With that said, let me get to some useful info. The cutting edge is 3 inches. The factory grind is balanced for chopping and cutting. The handle provides a sure grip but may not be the most comfortable for some people. The axe is pretty light weight and easy to handle making ideal for hiking or just a morning out exploring. The Esee axe is designed more for fine to light work in my opinion. Its not a one handed destroyer. Ive used the axe to chop Mesquite branches (up to 2 inches thick) and the job was pretty quick and effortless. Pruning the branches was easy. Where I was impressed was its carving ability. It did perform better than expected. I was able to make a stop cut and carve a 7 notch. I live in the rural desert so most things you would cut/chop are smaller and dryer than other places. Making this the perfect tool for my outdoor use. I would rate this axe very well for camp chores, bushcraft and light work. Perfect hiking companion. Pair this axe with a Swiss Army Knife and you have all you need... I would rate it low in being a medium to large hatchet replacement. The size and weight keep it from medium to heavy types of work.
Review: This axe means business, not just looks. - The ESEE Knives James Gibson Camping Bushcraft Axe is absolutely amazing. It came razor sharp out of the box and feels like a serious tool the moment you put it to work. I spent time testing it in the Alaska bush, and performance-wise it flat out outperformed my Buck 106 Compadre Camp Axe and even my Wrango titanium axe, and that’s saying something. Not in weight, obviously… this thing has some honest heft to it. The balance, bite, and control are excellent, and it inspires confidence every swing. It chews through wood with authority and feels purpose built, not gimmicky. I haven’t put it to work on a moose yet, but that’ll be the final test to earn a permanent spot in my pack. That said, it’s definitely coming with me on the next hunt. Outstanding craftsmanship, incredible performance, and made right here in the USA. ESEE continues to prove why they’re one of the best in the game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tool, compact and very capable design.
*by D***S on January 7, 2022*

The design is balanced for multi purpose use and becomes apparent with actual field use. This is a good tool for use in place of a large belt knife. This is not a good tool to process large amounts of firewood or build a log cabin. The utility of this axe will depend on your expectations, experience and intended use. My use has been for general camp tasks, carving, saw brace, processing pitchwood, feeding a stick stove, making kindling inside a hot tent (the size is a benefit) and as a companion to a large axe or small knife and saw. The flaked flint or knapped pattern on the handle will be a like it or hate it thing. Personally I love the texture and tactile feedback from it. The designer Mr. Gibson has a few interview videos explaining the design and purpose of this axe. The balanced rocker, angled head, thumb push and shorter handle scales to eliminate damage when splitting. The videos are good for study if considering this axe. This was my first ESEE and is one of my favorite axes I own. Made in USA with quality materials and a lifetime warranty from an established company.
