OP sse Campfire Ranger S Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 18,666	While back a bud gave this to me. It's an A.G. Russell "Pocket Safety Axe", made in Taiwan. It's only about 10.5" long, so really doesn't even function as a hatchet. Plus, it seems like it would be better with a belt sheath. Kinda looks like a toy, except a kid could get hurt. I guess it's supposed to be a copy of a Marbles safety axe. From the website it sells for 80 bucks. The write-up looks pretty impressive quality-wise. They even did this short video. Still not sure the point.
