It combines a light weight with an ultra - sharp blade that holds its edge well. Its size is ideal for chopping kindling and splitting small logs. The axe's hardened forged steel blade has a low - friction surface coating. This allows it to cut through wood three times deeper than average, enabling faster chopping and maximum efficiency.

It offers a great grip and excellent hand control. Perfectly balanced in terms of exertion to weight, this nimble little axe swings smoothly and easily.

Using your Gerber Pack Axe II 9 is easy. When you're out camping or in the yard, hold the handle firmly with a good grip. Swing the axe with a smooth motion to chop kindling or split small logs. The light weight makes it easy to handle, but still gives you enough power for the job. Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always wear safety gear like gloves and eye protection when using the axe. Be careful not to overstrike, as the shock - absorbing handle helps, but you still want to use it safely. Make sure your cutting area is clear of people and obstacles. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade clean to remove any wood chips or debris. You can use a dry cloth. If the blade gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. The low - friction surface coating helps keep the blade in good condition, but if it starts to dull over time, you can sharpen it using a suitable sharpening tool. Store the axe in a dry place, and when not in use, put the sheath on to protect the blade and keep it safe.
