One can assume that when facing a zombie apocalypse, there will be a breaking down of certain ammenities we are accustomed to. Assuming electricity will be somewhat difficult to obtain and maintain, you will be forced to find fuel, food, and cover when you are on the move. When surviving a somewhat nomadic lifestyle, what you pack is important, and everything must justify it’s weight and space in the pack.





The United Cutlery M48 Hawk Axe certainly earns it’s place. It is a tool that is over fifteen inches long and made of stainless steel with an combined axe/spike head. This little tool can be used both defensively and offensively. It offers a wide upswept axe blade for maximum cutting surface area needed when beheading hungry zombies. The spike is sharp and makes this handy little weapon deadly with a forward or backward swing and putting that spike through skull. The handle is just long enough for good leverage for a forcful swing that would make any zombie stumble back a step.

Damage

The leverage you can get with a handle over fifteen inches paired with a blade surface of over 8 inches make a respectable impact. The handle is reinforced with fiberglass and nylon cord grip. Also the double axe/spike blade head gives the Hawk Axe added points for damage. These features combined give the hawk axe 4 stars for damage, and gives even the Fiskars 7884 X27 Super Splitting Axe a run for its money.

Score 4/5

Speed

The 8 inch axe blade is sharp and so is the spike in the back. The blades is triple bolted into a lightweight fiberglass blend handle that make it an easy weapon to use in rapid succession for all levels of strength. Also, having a dual facing weapon on the end of a good sized handle makes it doubly dangerous to zombies attempting to swarm. It’s not strapped to your arm like the BladesUSA Hk-6090 Full Tang Arm Blade, but the Hawk Axe eaily earns 5 points for speed.

Score 5/5.

Durability

The blade is stainless steel, the handle grip is reinforced, and gripped with heavy nylon cord. The blade keeps it’s edge with little maintenance and it’s nylon handle helps keeps your grip when it’s slipery with zombie blood. Durability gets 4 stars.

Score 4/5

Diversity of Use

This little beauty can be used to hack off a zombies head, stab the brain through the skull, chop down trees, hacking down brush, and use the pick to help garden and cultivate if you are fortunate to settle down long enough to cultivate a garden. The pick edge can also be used with the handle to pry and lever things and let’s not forget the compass it comes with. It doesn’t try to be a “Jack of All Trades” like the 5 in 1 Survival Shovel, but the Hawk Axe still manages a 3.5 point rating for it versatility.

Score 3.5/5
