My brother was in 101st Airborne, helicopter assault, and was issued one of these tools prior to each deployment for use as a crash ax in case he regained consciousness upside down with his UH-60 wrapped around a building, or as a general breaching tool for urban combat. This means he was issued a new one for his second deployment while still possessing his first, so he brought the one from his first deployment home and we did some testing. Just random stuff messing around in the yard, but we did figure out that spike will pretty easily go straight through a motorcycle helmet. Just sayin...

Awesome demo, I own a Spax tool and have always wanted to put it through a rigorous test. Thanks to your video, my spax will remain a virgin until needed. Keep testing.

Thanks for the video. I have one of these, and wondered how it would hold up. Glad it performed well, that makes me more confident using it.

Great video! You covered everything I was looking for. Ontario makes great inexpensive dependable tools.

great battery of tests! Thanks for the vid.

Very interesting and unorthodox review. Subbed.

you looked like fred flintstone with that club hahaha, awesome vid

Thanks for the USE review. There are a lot of folks on youtube that want to pontificate about this thing while unboxing it. You had exactly what I was looking for by showing it in use. BTW: I have extensively compared several hand held tools for clearing brush and saplings. By far the best I have found id the Fiskars Brush Axe. It's about the same size at the Spax.

Great video , Great ax! You should check out some of the touture I put mine through salvage diving in saltwater , I've had my spax for 5 yrs and she's stood up to everything i chop oysters metal rubber clay wood & concrete , & bone , all in saltwater , no problems. Have it in almost every dive video I have.

Love this one!

The Forest Axe just in black! So cool

Wish it had a longer handle 🤷🏻‍♂️

Would have love to see you deploy it from its sheath 👍

The handle wiggle free after that?I'm still reluctant about those handles and materials as I debate between a kabar and OKC sp6.

Hi mayor Please test the buck knives too, like buck 655 or buck 620 Tnx man

when you said don't hold the 'axe'(well call it an axe) a certain way but another way, it got me thinkin to myself an I said, thank god I put steel lining in all my work gloves an edc gloves! I'm asking your permission sir to send you a couple pairs of my homemade gloves I've touched razor sharp mirror polished edges pushing very hard an it did not go through the top outside layer of even leave a mark! safety first is right but having a dependable, (piece of tool) gives you even more confidence

good test. keep up the good work. do you know how this would compare to Ontario Wyvern Crash axe and the Smith & Wesson Escape & Evasion Tomahawk.

I use them as toothpicks and go through about two or three a week - they really are tough

good video, I have a estwing hatchet that I really like

i see a lot of videos where people have a hard time breaking car windows in an emergency situation. can this tool do that. can it cut a large hole into the windshield of a vehicle. great video keep up the good work

Have you thought about buying the okc Wyvern breaching axe/tool ? It's the big monster brother of the Spax.

Nice job Mayor. Just wonderin, your not from Hawaii by any chance?

RFI item for deployments overseas. Thanks for the "toys," Supply!

What about the hole in the center of the blade? What is that designed for?

Is this an ontario blade?

The guy acts like he's scared of it .

Whoa the backyard is legit

Remember safety first! (:()

Let's enjoy sushi time!!!

That so called spike at the end is not made for breaking rocks and stuff like that I could do that but its more of a hook to help you hang on to something if you want it to be used as a spike then it needs to be a lot straighter

how thick is the blade

The design of the axe blade looks dangerous the was it is curved towards your hand and does not cut wood well. Did Ontario give you this product for free or did you buy it with your own money?

서든도끼?

Hay frank is this you.

Good Torture test!

Snyg

the us army use these my dad owns one

Why the hell do you spam in your own comments?
