Using your Gerber II 9 - inch Pack Axe is straightforward. For chopping kindling, hold the axe firmly by the handle and swing it down onto the wood. When splitting small logs, aim for the center of the log. The low - friction coated blade will help you cut through quickly. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always wear protective gear like gloves and safety glasses when using the axe. Make sure there's no one in the area where you're swinging. When not in use, keep the sheath on to protect the blade and prevent injuries. To maintain your axe, clean the blade after each use with a dry cloth. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. You can sharpen the blade using a sharpening stone when it starts to lose its edge. Store your axe in a dry place to keep it in good condition.
