Been feeling rather bad as of late , got my fishing equipment out and put new braided lines of different test , 100lbs on my #6 penn , I'm using for catfishing, 65 for 309s and 209s , put 25 on my ice fishing gear, ill use here at home in mountain streams , got new edges on knives , hachets , axes , time to get my noise makes out and check for rust . Thinking about getting a 6 inch slide for my old 45 and order a 460rowland barrel and compensator for it . Be able to run 45s 45 super , 460rowland. So I'll be ready when I feel better

The saw positioned in a right angle is for high position sawing.

I wish I'd seen this before I bought all I got , it would work well in a hunting bag , sometimes just need both for butchering wild hogs and deer , out in the field. But I use to quarter them up with a sharp hachet and large case pocket knife

My preferred tool for batonning. Lol. I really enjoy this axe/saw combo. It saves so much trouble. Between it and my SCHF52 & Mora, I’m good for camp or survival.

I agree, I would never carry an axe on my belt, a tomahawk or hatchet sure, those are much smaller and lighter but I still wish they would use a system on their sheaths to attach the axe to the outside of a backpack or rucksack. I use a Gator combo axe/knife, but would gladly take that SCAXE9 Combo also mounted to my pack. I like the idea of a saw blade in the handle. You cover 2 needs with 1 combo tool.

I got one coming. I didn't even realize it was out. Been looking forward to it.

Hey there bryan ! I think paul bunion would be proud of ya . Just pickin have a good un

This may be a 6 year old video. But thank you for your videos it is still relevant. And your videos have been a big contribution to the decisions I'm making for my camping gear. From years of hiatus from high adventure scout camping.

Survival On Purpose I think people would be interesting with only the saw part by itself too

Great channel Brian, thoroughly enjoying your videos as I go through them

I dang near didn't trust it till you showed how well balanced it was.

Hahaha that slow mo flip made me laugh, Awesome video!

I believe I saw that one when schrade showed to pmp101 at the shot show, I like it, a lot better than the one zippo came out with last yr and got a lot of bad reviews on it

Interesting set-up. Like the axe part, But not sure as U also mentioned only if the blade is locked out on full position. Thanks 4 sharing another with us here, Bryan B Well Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada ATB Terry " GOD BLESS "

Neat concept:) A good axe /saw to keep in your truck/suv in case you break down:) or for hunting large game to use it to process. Axes and saws are used all the time to butcher up moose here. I like it. BUT I got to axed you:) how much:) ha ha

I was impressed when I saw the Schrade 2015 products and immediately ordered this Axe. Unfortunately after chopping down about 10 dead Arbutus trees (I live in western Canada), within a two week period of ownership, the head broke off right where it meets the handle. I found it vibrated quite a bit when chopping also. Great idea, the head & saw were nice and sharp but the handle's composition needs better design for impact resistance. I requested a refund, not a replacement. Thanks for reviewing, I hope it servers you better than it did I. Cheers!

I would love to see it torture tested in cold weather

Great camera work Bryan, can't wait for your next video.

great video mate. awesome and clear review. thanks.

Your video was really good and I really like hatchets and some day I wish I could find something like it

Good review man, appreciated.

Looks like it's a very nice axe offering from Schrade thanks for sharing.

You put all your axe in one basket with this tool! 🤗 I just bought me one..hope I like it

Im impressed I'm getting it.

Another great video, cheers, Mate!

Hmm Interesting I'm 50/50 on it I would have it as a backup to my ax and separate saw for sure but as my primary not so much. Great review thanks!

LOVE THAT AXE

I'm Uncle just gave me one of these for the holidays. Excited af

Thanks for your honesty and response. I used to love Schrade until I bought the Bolo and the handle broke a 1/2 inch into the handle right out of the box. I thought I probably just got a defect but when I contacted Schrade to tell them what happened, they basically told me I was out of luck. That said, I haven't had issues with the other gear I have. Unfortunate because I'll never buy anything from Taylor Brands for their lack of customer service. Thanks again Brian.

Loose one tool you loose both....i like separate cutting tools just to be safe.

I was really impressed with my new schf36. I took it to my father in laws house, he had some small bushes or should I say small trees about as thick, maybe a tad thicker then the wood you was chopping and I cut most of them down had a few that I got most of the way through, but that was because they were growing between the chain link fence, the knife did really well and still had a razer sharp edge on it

I like this. Its pretty cool! I agree the sheath needs a little more work.

schrade, i can only say good things about all their products that i have purchased... Great review

Definitely a candidate for an extended use trial. At 6:10 I thought you were going to say "Crouching Bryan, Hidden Saw Blade" Great review. Thanks Bryan!

I like the looks of this combo for sure. Even if it's not a primary tool, having it in your truck or trunk would definitely be helpful should the need arise.

Good review

I hadn't thought about using the hammer end as a battoning surface. That makes a lot of sense, particularly in those situations such as you described. I wonder if gripping the saw around the axe part (with the sheath) on would provide more balance and keep that weight under control. In the end, this may be the axe for me.

Have you tried to see if you can but a different saw blade maybe one that cuts both ways instead of just on the pull?

love at first sight.

Interesting concept for an axe. I wonder about the handle being weakened by the saw groove. Good video Bryan!

I like it!

Don't like this tool at all... sort of reminds me why the combo knife/back scratcher never caught on lol. In my early twenties a wise old friend asked if I would help harvest some firewood. "Sure", I replied. I really didn't have any experience but how complicated could it be? About 5 minutes in he stopped me and offered some of the best axe safety advise that was ever yelled to me (in a nice, comforting sort of way). He said, "Always swing the axe as if you were trying to drive the head into the ground if it passes through the target". Yup, it requires more bending and some not so cool looking stances (like your trying to pas a turd) but your lower parts are worth it. Another excellent video Bryan!

Bryan, Well I admit that I was at first kinda sceptical as "one tool" options like this usually as you said wind up being classified as a trade off (compromise) But, the axe sure appeared to bite very deep, and the saw seemed to work great in the straight out position....with the "L" shape position being resevred for upright limbing. Splitting (batoning) and ferro rod work all seemed to also go very well. Like anything of this nature, it would simply require a little time to get used to it when using the saw with the counter weight of the axe head at the rear. But all in all, I'm rather impressed. I would in the long run, do something about that sheath. Probably as Swissarmyzippo said, a kydex sheath, which would be the icing on the cake here. The long term useage will be the true test of course....but all in all...at present, I would give it four stars as a truck & base camp tool. Higher with a new sheath. Not bad at all. Love Schrade Saturdays. Thanks Bryan for another honest straight up review! Stay well.

Great little camping axe and love the innovative idea. But for bigger projects I'll stick with 1 axe and 1 saw lol.

I just came across this axe on sale here in Alberta Canada for $40 CAD (= $30.40USD). It looks like to me that the axe is quite good indeed and the saw seems to be a good backup choice in case one's main saw breaks or goes missing, or forgotten (do I forget things? naaaa). At that price, if you needed an axe this size, would you still recommend it? You don't have to send me your's because it would probably cost $30USD to ship it to me.

is this a pull saw or does it cut both ways

Nice review. Im gonna pick this one up someday. Glad I held off on buying the regular Schrade axe.

Not only is the axe design stolen from Fiskars but also the concept of having a saw in the axe from Gerber (which are part of Fiskars Group). Not the first thing Schrade copied, I like brands with OWN original ideas better ! (That does not mean Schrade products are bad, just sayin) Sorry, but that "test" was silly, you could atleast chop more than twice on a bigger log or something,

To all the nay sayers. I bet you wouldn't complain if that's all you had in a survival situation. I think the angled position would be better used at shoulder or over the head use. As far as some of the over priced axes, you can drive a Cadillac or an old beater you still git to the same place. I have compared the Schràde to a wetterling and the Schrader performed! better. The Schrader seem to bite very well and I only paid 1/3 the price. Brian I love yer Chanel and I look quite often to see if you have another video published. Keep up the good work.

that slow mo.

Is it polar vortex proof?

It's a PULL saw

Which took more physical effort, sawing that branch or hacking with the axe?

Still got that weak steel

I just picked one up over the weekend. All I gotta say is it's a hard worker and you can't hurt it no matter how hard you use it. I used it for two hours with no hot spots and no gloves and my son used it for 30 minutes and his 12 year old hands didn't get any hot spots. They must have made a change or y'all got girly hands. The saw works better than expected as well.

I like the item; I don't like the sheath. Schrade needs to step it up when it comes to their sheaths. Make them out of leather or, any other, material. Just my rant

Bryan, thank for the video. When I was an Assisted Scout Master, the BSA recommended batoning an axe trough wood instead of the overhead swing. Has that changed or are you talking about your person preference?

Looks like a fiskars

Congratulations on not wasting a valuable resource like a live tree for nothing more than a video. Other than that, my main concern would be the long term reliability of the saw built into the axe handle. Time will tell in that matter. If it's possible, I'll carry a regular axe or hatchet along with a saw.

I can totally see you sailing into your shin with an ax someday...

This review does not put the tool or the presenter in the best way. You were not prepared, too excited and perhaps too cold. Lots of practice required before demonstrating the pros and cons so you are comfortable with the tool. You dont have a chopping block? Well get one. You are also easily distracted by a little piece of bark. The banter does not help me however, I am intrigue with the concept and will look for one the next time I pass by a Pro Bass shop but it is not because of the video.

Watch Wingman's review of this axe before you buy it. He's a Schrade fan and didn't sell his soul to them for free gear.

Got the 2L last week and now you tempt me with this! More the Fiskers type head on this one.
