SOG's Backcountry Axe features a GRN handle with solid fiberglass core, joined to the cutting head for increased handle strength. The forged head gives it increased strength and durability, while a cutout decreases friction when cutting. The flat back is perfect for hammering tasks. But the coolest part is the saw hidden in the handle, with an auto-deploying hand-guard! With two tools in one, you can clear twice the brush, twice as fast. Then stow it in its molded sheath with belt clip for safe and secure carrying.
