I just picked up one of these at walmart


Camillus Carnivore


the saw sucks, as it bottoms out about a 1/4 inch in the wood.  The saw portion isn't cutting as wide as the blade is.


The chopper portion is "ok" at chopping small brush out the way or making a quick shooting stick. The blade tends to bounce off though so you have to have a pretty straight on swing to get it to cut


didn't try to dig a trench, cant imagine trying to dig with it as it'd tear your hands up


34 bucks or so at walmart I figured what the hell - might see if they'll take it back


or I might just grind off the saw portion and make it curved like a slight kurkuri - and sharpen the "digger" portion and make it a morphadite tanto kukuri  :chuckle:

These are my pick, love them both.  The modified fiskars is really really useful.  I always have a SAK craftsman and Leatherman Wave along for small chores.

May that for which I prepare never come to pass.
