About Camillus Camtrax 3-in-1 Hatchet, Hammer, and Folding Saw
Overall Feedback:
72% positive
68% praised the sharp and durable blade, while 32% found it needed frequent sharpening
The product has a limitation of only entering wood up to three inches due to the part where the handle and blade connect, which makes making kindling problematic.
The blade is dull and the steel is poor.
I received the axe blunt and had to put in a lot of work to sharpen it.
I found that the blade quality is not good enough to bevel through wood. It took me about 20 minutes to saw through a 4-inch hard-ish wood dead tree, whereas I could do it in 5 minutes with my folding saw.

The product appears to be of high quality and well made.
The saw stows well in the handle and has a decent length, but you can feel it on your fingers when holding the axe.
I need an axe with a bevel blade that can saw through wood quickly. The current one took me 20 minutes to saw through a 4-inch hard-ish wood dead tree, which is slower than my folding saw.
I noticed that the axe has inadequate weight at the head, resulting in a puny swing.

Conceptually, the product is not terrible but the execution is a bit disappointing.
I found that the blade needs to be able to bevel through wood and it took me 20 minutes to saw through a 4 inch hard-ish wood dead tree. This shows that the maintenance of the blade is difficult and time-consuming.
