Ideally, a wooden folding camping axe is the best survival axe you can invest in. Ensure that the wooden handle and steelhead are combined with some trusted bond so, there is no wear and tear during aggressive usage. The wooden handle is also a true old-school rugged style, and the more it is used, the easier the adaptation process is. On the other hand, a metallic hatchet handle loses its paint and increases the overall weight drastically.
