The MTech USA Two-Tone Blade (model Camping Axe) features a black rubberized handle, with an 11-inch overall length. Compact and easily portable, this tactical axe is perfect for camping enthusiasts or anyone who spends time outdoors. This axe features a 3-inch satin finished 440 stainless steel blade. The durable rubber handle offers a comfortable grip and is built to withstand long term repeated use. It comes with a black nylon sheath to cover the blade when not in use. MTech USA offers a diversified lineup of tactical folding knives, fixed blade knives, archery products, and security items -- all at competitive prices.

Consumer Reports

The MTech is light and small — a big plus for a camping axe, as it's easy to fit in a pack or stash in your rig. It also feels sturdy and well-made, lacking any discernable points of weakness, and boasting a fairly sharp blade right out of the box. The handle is comfortable to grip, with an arched construction that provides excellent balance, leverage, and blade control. The combination makes it reasonably powerful and pleasant to use. We like it best for chopping kindling out of pre-split wood or scraps. It also works well for felling small saplings or light limbing. 
The MTech's short handle makes it less suited to bigger jobs, like cutting a log in half, and it's not suited to splitting anything larger than kindling. On larger wood rounds, it just bites into the wood without wedging it apart. We also worry about the nylon sheath. Its snaps are stubborn, making it hard to open and close. The entire sheath can also slip, exposing the top tip of the blade even when it's closed properly. If you choose this one, be careful to avoid cutting yourself or duct tape the sheath's top edge. We think of this as a backup camping axe. It's not large enough to use for extended tasks or large logs, but it will easily chop enough kindling for a fire, help you knock in some tent stacks, and clear a limb or two out of the trail. Overall, the MTech offers the best performance of the compact options in the test.

 I would go so far as to say the cheap, old-style ones with tubular steel handle would be better, IF they have a better sheath.  It comes with a usable factory edge. The grip is good, but not hand-filling for a man.

Not as nice as Estwing, but better than the cheapies with tubular steel handles

 Can you see that yeah? So it's it's super easy to just slip into your pocket. Um. It'S a really nice simple knife. It'S made out of, like i think it's steel um it's, but it's awesome

 So it's like really easy to hold and just like whip out. If you need to plus even just doing that, people are just always like whoa, which is stupid right, but i think that's a cool thing um, so the thing - and it is stainless steel. So the one thing that i don't like about this okay, this is like. I guess sometimes it'd be nice to have a bigger blade or something like that right, but the the thing that i don't love about it well, two things i don't know if you can see, but like it's some of the i don't

Hey guys, what's going on, i wanted to do a review and show you, the uh, m-tec usa knife that i have so it looks like up closer. You can see that um. I have had this for over a year now and uh. There was just a time when i was at a like a a barbecue out in the kind of like in the woods a little bit with someone, some people and some friends and someone was like hey

 It feels like super, durable and stuff um. I also i like the color. I mean it's just. It feels like a very masculine manly knife right now

MTech USA Knife Review After 1 Year | Likes & Dislikes | MT-A845BK

This could be a good axe but for me the handle is too thin and doesn't have alot of grip to it. The axe itself is smaller than I expected. Also, the thin handle makes it hard to hold if you have bigger hands. I'm afraid it might go flying if I get sweat on my hands or lose concentration while swinging

Good axe for small hands but the cover is useless.

 Not only that, it came slightly bent. To go into further detail, the blade on this hatchet is ground at much too aggressive of an angle, meaning that it doesn't bite into the wood at all, it just kind of bounces out of the cut. Furthering that problem, the head is way too thick to get a less aggressive grind on it without removing a ton of material. Another problem is that it's way too heavy, making it feel overly clumsy in the hand, and that's only exacerbated by the fact that it's bent just ever so slightly, so your cuts will almost never land how you want them too

 The only reason it's 2 stars and not 1 star is because it didn't break or chip on me.

Also the handle gets painful to use because it doesn't do enough to absorb the impact of the hits. So, spend $5 more and get a hatchet that's actually worth it

Get Something Else

SO Close to Perfection...  For the Price, Size & Weight, this was a Beautiful Purchase ! After studying the item for several days and debating its usefulness for splicing/grafting trees and trimming them, I went ahead and made the buy

.  Although one side was shaped and sharpened to Near-Perfection, the other side looks as if someone attempted to sharpen it, (Badly), with a file. There were 1" gouges in the blade making it seem as if they wanted to "Bevel" the blade in only certain places; but they did manage to give the overall sharpness a nice edge. (The edge with which my axe arrived would not have been conducive to "Easy & Quick" future sharpening)  I spent about an hour re-shaping and sharpening the blade-edge to a functional and desired form

 Upon arrival, I was truly impressed with the design, and even with the sharpness of the blade-edge; BUT...  Although one side was shaped and sharpened to Near-Perfection, the other side looks as if someone attempted to sharpen it, (Badly), with a file

SO Close to Perfection...

The price was cheap enough so if I lose it or have to throw it away, no great loss. It's light weight and the cover is nice enough. Durability.

 Considering right out of the package, the beveled edge was chipped (quality control?). I'm going to keep it because it isn't worth the hassle of sending it back. Like I said, you get what you pay for and it was $22 so.

It was $22 so...🤷🏽‍♀️

Zero Tolerance and Emerson Knives put their hard-use heads together to create the 0620. It features a blade of ELMAX powdered steel in a modified tanto style. ELMAX provides the extreme edge retention, high strength and toughness a hard-use knife demands. High wear resistance in a steel usually means low corrosion resistance, but not with ELMAX. With this advanced steel, you get both properties, which makes it an excellent blade steel. DLC coating enhances performance even more and makes the blade non-reflective. Of course, the 0620 features the patented Emerson "wave shaped feature" that enables the knife to be opened as it is removed from the pocket. By the time the knife has been fully withdrawn from the pocket, the blade is deployed and ready for use. A small wave-shaped tab on the top of the blade is built to catch on the pocket seam, opening the knife as it comes out of the pocket. This Emerson instant-open feature is a favorite among military, rescue and law enforcement knife users. The handle features a machined G-10 front scale with a bead-blasted titanium back. Blade lock up is ensured with a sturdy frame lock. Hardened steel inserts in the lockbar make it extra durable. Made in the USA. Wave shaped opening feature; Thumb disk for manual opening; Reversible clip; Frame lock, hardened steel lockbar inserts; Steel: ELMAX, DLC coating; Handle: G-10 front, bead-blasted titanium back; Blade Length: 3.6 in. (9.1 cm); Closed Length: 4.9 in. (12.4 cm).

 I’ve bought two of these knives from the seller. The first one is fine the second one was impossible open. I bought a second one for $180 I returned it because it was defective. Later I looked online and found that Blade HQ is selling the upgraded see 0620 cf version for $190 and this seller is selling the 0620 BRK at $180

The knife Materials are great. Hair splitting sharp out of the box but the price is completely ridiculous. I’ve bought two of these knives from the seller. The first one is fine the second one was impossible open

Way over priced!

 Definitely with the emerson wave opening with the tanto blade. Definitely a tactical it's a little serial number 98, that cool like the dlc on this looks smooth with the black g10 and the don't wash frame lock. I just like that contrasting colors and i may just have a custom scale made or just rock the the g10. It'S not really grippy, but it's plenty got plenty of grip, so it's not gon na destroy your pants, but luckily that frame lock side is the one you're gon na be clipped to anyway, and that's nice and smooth beautiful stone washing as usual from ZT on the Titanium so i decided to mix it up a little bit instead of just having two of these with the same steel in the same carbon fiber scale, i decided to mix it up with the g10 and the L max L max has been a great steal for Me I've had zero issues on my a toe once I've had quite a few of these and here's a comparison between the 801 and the 620 see the 620 is longer than the handle, but about the same blade length so and it's gon na be about 3 Or 4 ounces heavier because these are pretty stout low folders we're not little they're solid, so pretty much all the knifes in my collection right now, but one or ZTS her chest and one Spyderco right now

 Pretty sure this is over six ounces. 6.4. Almost a full ounce, carbon-fiber one might be a Titch lighter, but really carbon fiber g10 is not that big of a difference in my opinion, so so it's a beefy heavy duty knife hard use, definitely tactical blade

 Cuz that shows up - and that is gon na - be an amazing amazing video. I promise at least an amazing knife. I know how awesome video is gon na be, but the knife will be amazing, alright, guys, that's the first look at the ZT 620 and the 6 562 carbon fiber best production knives this year. Absolutely, I can't think of anything better

 But you know the obvious upgrades with the ZT of titanium frame: lock, smoothness, the L max steel, the overall build quality made in the USA, all that all the above, so definitely what I'm gon na be carrying and using more so now the CQC's haven't definitely held Me held me over though, until this came out so nice and beefy really thick titanium scale compared to the Hinderer and it's definitely thicker on the titanium scale side. So it's it's gon na be a little bit. Beefier knife weight, wise and pretty sure it's heavier also, but we'll just check real quick, 562 weighs in at 5.5

Zero Tolerance 0620 and 562CF

 So let's go ahead and get the weight on this guy, because that is definitely a factor. Well, six point: three: five ounces! Now that's my kind of night! I like that that weighs almost exactly as much as my full-time SMA teens, but I like that heft I like that solidity now, for most of you, though, that's gon na be kind of a deal-breaker. You know I talk about this in every video. Most people like to keep it under four ounces

 I I have not handled this knife up until this point. This is another one of my buddy Jake's knives. You can check him out on Instagram at Jake's knives. He generously offered this and many other knives up

 I don't know why L max is like what's the best way. I think LX is a stainless steel. You saw it a lot in ZT saw a lot Microtech and we see it in some some foreign. I think some Italian manufacturers use it or used it more, so higher toughness and higher education, I think than s35vn I'm using s35vn, because I think the composition of s35vn is comparable

 You know I I fully trust I can take this thing out and really beat on it. You know I mean it feels a hundred percent secure in that lock up. It'S not going anywhere. This is 100 percent rock-solid

ZT 0620 - Overview and Review

 Not really an issue to me and usually I can adjust that out.  Zero Tolerance is probably the best large scale manufacturer of frame lock knives and they nail them every time. This knife is a tank, but actually pretty slim considering what you get.  Overall, this knife is a home run, especially considering that it's actually cheaper than most Emerson's

 This knife is a tank, but actually pretty slim considering what you get.  Overall, this knife is a home run, especially considering that it's actually cheaper than most Emerson's.

  4- Frame lock vs. Liner lock. I've had an Emerson liner lock fail on me. Personally, I'm not a big fan of titanium liner locks because they tend to wear faster than steel

  3-The blade coating is a true DLC. Emerson uses a paint type of coating which wears quickly. DLC makes a molecular bond with the steel and is actually harder than the steel itself. Sometimes it looks like the finish is marred when it's actually just particles of what has been cut and wipes off with mineral spirits

Better than an Emerson.

 It makes it real strong. I think it's my favorite lock. So all the other locks I'd use have gotten weak. This one is actually real

 Real good gets a real sharp coating on there. Dlc um not sure what that stands for, but you guys know what that is. What you seem seem to be. A pretty good coating makes it non reflective, very cool-looking, and it's got the inverse wave on there

 Strong I've actually thrown it a little bit, even though I'm not here not supposed to throw pocket knives, but I have - and it's solid and I've owned this knife for a year now used it pretty hard overall length, eight and a half inches. So it's a pretty big knife, blade part three point: six inches and the handle is 4.9 um. Weight is six point

 Besides the holes right there on the handle, you can change your my pocket clip you know on that side or this side. This will go a little short. This paper test paper here, yellow paper sharp. Are you sharpen it before this? So L max takes a really good edge? I didn't drop it so to do that thumb disc
