Randomly spotted this axe while mooching about the web, Claims its an axe for bushcraft... what you supposed to do with it? Run at the trees?

Any ideas folks?

Looks to be a place that imports tat based on other stuff on the site.

"Perkin" are the crowd that rip off others designs, have them made cheaply on the Indian subcontinent and have an Amazon store that changes it's name monthly , are'nt they?

One of Nobles operations? Not too dissimilar

I reckon SAMON should get one and see what he make out of it......there might even be an axe hiding in there somewhere.....maybe

It looks a hybrid of Ulu knife and a pick axe. What they were thinking, i dont know.

It's for chopping money from the wallets of naive bushcrafters probably effective at it too!

Builders of serious log homes use a chisel that you actually push with your shoulder, called a "slick",
for removing bark. Either that or an even bigger chisel tip called a "spud" (supply your own handle.)
That axe appears to be a really poorly thought out compromise with a useless handle length.

Perkins = cheap foreign Garbage.

Umm.... what?!

 

[robevs73]

What a useless piece of crap!

Looks similar to the Sayoc-Winkler R&D Hawk, though that is made for combat, and not bushcraft.

Yep, pretty sure it's him.

Same rubbish either way.

Ah - the Noble art of plagiarism!

It's possible. We did have Perkins on the Noble alias list on BB, but removed it due to lack of solid evidence.

No doubt some Berk will buy it to hang on the wall claiming their reason for owning it is for Zombie Killing.
