The NAX - Knife, Axe, Machete combo...

THE NAX 2.0

The latest in revolutionary extreme outdoor and survival gear to emerge from the Gear Up Center....

THE NAX 2.0 combines the dynamic qualities of a kukri knife, machete, and hatchet in one single solid piece of precision forged steel. Co-Designed with Clayton Cowart and practical/tactical design suggestions from Special Forces Soldiers, Expert Preppers, and Survival Gear Aficionados were taken into consideration during the development of the NAX 2.0 in order to provide you with the most versatile cutting instrument available on the survival gear market.


Featuring a professional, zero ground edge, the NAX is comprised of the finest grade 4130 chromoly steel, the NAX is heat treated to above +48 HRC Rockwell Hardness to provide users with the sturdiest possible edged tool to wield when faced with the toughest of conditions and environments. The NAX will never let you down in any extreme survival application that calls for the very best tool for cutting, chopping, and clearing. The ergonomically grooved forward grip enables users to exact fine cutting, slicing, and skinning maneuvers, while the 550 paracord wrapped handle provides a comfortable grip for heavy duty two-handed chopping, and every precision cutting application in between.

Probably only useful for cutting down the ugly tree that spawned it

 

[Toddy]

That looks like a sore hand in the making, tbh.
What is the fascination for something a Klingon would be ashamed to use ??

[Man of Tanith]

Whats an expert prepper?

 

[mountainm]

Isn't 48 HRC Rockwell really soft?

And what is a "skinning maneuver"

 

[Hibrion]

what is a "skinning maneuver"

I think that's what they do to your wallet after conning you into buying one of these!

The first that that jumped into my mind when I saw this was Klingons.

 

[mrcharly]

And what is a "skinning maneuver"

It's when you take a swing at a log with this thing, hit the log, have the ugly-thing-a-klingon-would-be-ashamed-of fly out of your hand and spin past your head, taking your ear with it. Or it would, if the steel were hard enough to penetrate skin.

$149 and it has a string wrapped handle, a fool and his money are easily parted

 

[whats wrong with you all]

I reckon that you would do more damage to your self with that spade than any rampant zombies
Whats the fascination with wrapping crap tools up in string anyway?

 

[mountainm]

According to wikipedia - re hardness of tools

• Axes: about HRC 45-55

LOL - it's so you can set snares and traps and build shelters then get blisters when you need to use the tool, the handle of which you just removed...

 

[Toddy]

Does that look like a dodgy weld to you ?

Archaeologist preferred trowel is drop forged for a blooming good reason

[ozzy1977]

I doubt the quality of the weld is really an issue as most will never get used, I reckon the loony prepper/zombie world apocalypse brigade still use normal tools that work
