[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6648550, member: 15700"] The axe can be used almost exactly the same way an ulu knife is used. Have you processed a game animal with an ulu knife or axe? I have, with both. Also, not sure what you mean by a hand axe doesn't have a hammer side. Have even seen a hand axe? The opposite side of the blade is wide and flat--perfect for hammering. So far you seem to be making some claims that are objectively not true. I'd be curious to know your experience in these fields. Also, in the Caribbean they didn't use knives per se. They used panga blades, which....wait for it...have a long and heavy weighted tip that is more axe-like than it is knife like. And the reason I brought up that documentary is because in it, they use their axes for everything you just got done saying you can't really use an axe easily with. I assume they know what a knife is, so why do you think they use an axe for everything you said an axe is bad for? These are people who do this every day as part of their life. I assume the are experts. But it seems clearly you aren't willing to take my word for it despite my experience. I posed the same question to the Bushcrafter/Survival G+ group (over 12,000 members), and so far roughly 2/3 agree the axe is the better choice. [/QUOTE]
