Camp Companion Signature First Edition

Over all fit and finish is high. Still need to set it to work.

Would I Buy It Again: Yes

Is it A Safe Queen: Yes

First Impressions:
A) Attention to detail in the manufacturing process - Very High

B) Seems to be Investment Cast (I’m thinking that’s why the Corporal talks about it being x-ray’ed)

C) Very nice large hammer head face

D) Very nice blade shape (Shaving Sharp)

E) Very high attention to detail attaching handle to axe head

Recommendations for 2nd Generation:
I personally think the Axe manufacturing community is heading in the right direction by having the axe poll hardened. What I’m not seeing, is allowing the handle to be replaced in the field. If the handle could be replaced in the field and the investment casting can take a beating (Didn’t see any Hardcore Hammer video of their product taking a beating in the FAQ section) you would have an awesome product.

i saw Hardcore Hammers in the Indianapolis NRA convention and nearly bought one of the camp axes on the spot. The workmanship is evident in the casting, the finish, the handle, and how they are mated. FWIW, I like to care for my equipment although I do use it in rough conditions. Yet I still have the first axe I got when I was 9 years old. I expect my grandchildren to get this axe you made.
