A must have for Survivalist

I'm a proud owner of the Gibson axe, the curve of the blade is great for skinning any animal, it's also great for chopping ribs and other bone for backpacking your harvest out of the wilderness. It's not heavy, it's well balanced to chop wood and the metal alloy makes it keep it's sharp edge, it's a must have.
