The Gerber Bushcraft Axe – Coyote is a compact survival and bushcraft axe designed for general wilderness use. It features a 175 mm stainless steel blade and a steel head mounted on a 666 mm fiberglass handle, combining corrosion resistance with impact strength.

Intended for chopping, splitting, camp tasks and other outdoor jobs, this axe provides a balanced combination of reach, cutting power and durability. Keep out of reach of children.
Advantages
The stainless steel blade offers corrosion resistance and maintains a sharp edge for field use, while the steel head provides additional mass for efficient chopping and splitting. The fiberglass handle delivers strength and reduced weight compared with all-metal constructions, resisting environmental wear and vibration. The included protective cap and holster improve safety during transport and storage, and the hanger hole enables easy, space-saving suspension when not in use.

How to use
Use the Gerber Bushcraft Axe for controlled chopping and splitting by maintaining a secure two-handed grip on the fiberglass handle. Position the blade on the target wood and apply steady, guided strikes; for splitting, start with smaller cuts and work progressively to larger strokes. When felling or cutting larger timber is required, assess the wood and use appropriate techniques to avoid binding or kickback. After use, clean the stainless steel blade, dry thoroughly and apply corrosion-inhibiting oil if stored for long periods. Always replace the protective cap and stow the axe in its holster during transport.
Usage recommendations
To prolong service life and ensure safe operation, keep the blade sharpened with an appropriate file or stone, inspect the head-to-handle connection before each use, wear suitable protective equipment (gloves and eye protection) when chopping, and store the axe out of the reach of children in a dry place with the protective cap fitted.
