 Gerber Sport Axe = Fiskars Handy Axe - $30 Jan 03, 2007
By aceyx
I have the Fiskars version of this axe and am writing this review to tell you how to save your money. The Gerber-branded version of this axe bears the Fiskars stamp molded into the polyamide near the non-edge side of the head. Go to your local outdoor store and check it out if you don't believe me.
Picked up the Fiskars version at Lowe's for $20, and couldn't be more pleased. Excellent for making tinder, could be great for other things but I've only had it for a day. The only difference with the Gerber is that it does not come with the ballistic sheath (comes with a hard plastic safety cover/handle) but Gerber will send you the sheath if you ask nicely. It seems to fit well in the ice axe loops in my pack so I will probably just tape the blade if I take it camping.
My review only achieves four stars because the handle is rather slippery. Pick up a roll of hockey tape and wrap from the butt of the handle up, and you're still paying half price.

 Superb little axe Oct 31, 2010
By Evans75
Pros:
-Durable! After a camping trip or two of hard use, there is still no sign of any loosening, chipping, cracking, or any other damage.
-Excellent balance let me use it for larger jobs then it's size would suggest.
-Good steel, kept it's edge well.
-Good sheath design (opens from the top) protects the edge and has no chance of it working loose during normal use.
Cons:
-Handle material doesn't grip very well. I would recommend either roughening the surface with sandpaper or wrapping it with grip or sport tape.
There isn't much more to be said. It's simple, solid, rugged, and functional.

GREAT AX FOR THE MONEY Mar 02, 2009
By EDWARD J. GILSON Jr.
I own this ax and the Gerber splitter and I am very pleased with them. The handles are indestructible and the ax heads are easily sharpened. I also consider it a plus that neither is made in China. No one wants quality control issues with axes.

Gerber Axe Jun 27, 2007
By Tanya R. Graham

The axe is a great size and works great. The only thing that I can think to say is that the metal is a little soft. It doesn't seem to slow it down though. It is durable and a great size. I love it!!
nice Apr 25, 2012
By Kevin Schrader
I bought this for my husband a couple years ago. It has held up VERY nicely and have not had to sharpen it yet, although it could probably use it. I even use it every once in a while so i know it must be sharp if i can cut though a piece of wood.
