Camping axe features

A camping axe is a versatile tool that you can easily use with just one hand. These axes are compact and lightweight. A camping axe makes splitting wood quick and easy, and you'll always have a hammer at hand. You can leave your bushcraft knife and hammer at home; the camping axe can do it all!

Types of camping axe

There are different types of camping axe. For example, there are axes with wooden handles for a traditional look and axes with plastic handles for a more modern look. Each material comes with its own pros and cons, so choose the material you like best. Many axes with a plastic handle are manufactured with the latest technology in order to better withstand heavy use. Moreover, plastic handles are often more lightweight than wooden handles. If you're interested in an axe with a plastic handle, make sure to check out the Fiskars X series. Some axe heads have a flattened back, so they can also be used as a hammer should the need arise.

How to sharpen

A camping axe performs best when it is suitably sharp, however, camping axes are not always super-sharp upon delivery. Fortunately, axes are easy to sharpen. Check out our guide on how to maintain an axe to learn more.

How is a camping axe different from a regular hand axe?

Camping axes and regular hand axes have a lot in common. A regular hand axe can certainly come in handy on your camping trips as well. However, camping axes are designed to be more lightweight, making them more portable and easier to travel with. Camping axes are also designed with versatility in mind; use them to create feather sticks, to carve tent pegs or to chop up some kindling.
