A pretty slick new tool!

I generally carry an axe in the survey rig as many of my jobs are in the woods. I just like an axe! Well, during my last jaunt it was apparent that during my most recent re-hang of my trusty axe, I didn't do such a great job. I was clearing out some branches and I noticed the head was working its way off the end of the handle. Time to find a new write off. I went around looking for a new axe for a reasonable price. Had I unlimited resources I'd surely have a new Gransfor Bruks in the truck! But then I found something cheap that I think is actually even better! Enter the SOG Tactical Tomahawk! It's just a bit longer than your average camp hatchet. One end has a cutting edge (similar to an axe bit) measuring 2.75" in length for chopping. The other side has a not so sharp point which will be great for digging up hard to find rods or control, chopping through hard ground like a pick. It also has a knurled area where the handle meets the head that is intended to be used for hammering purposes. Granted, you wont be pounding rods or stakes with this, but in a pinch it will be handy. It comes with a nylon canvas sheath that has a belt loop on it. I have yet to really take it out and put it through the paces but so far I am really impressed at what a great survey tool this could be! Is anyone else carrying one of these? I bought it from amazon for around $26-28 with free shipping through prime! Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with SOG or with any retailer related to this product. I merely found a really neat multifunction tool that I wanted to share!

And, it was your post here on this forum, that got me to thinking, and to buy it.
