Anyone ever heard of this thing, it looks neat but may be a gimic.<br>http://www.survival.com/atax.htm<br>could possibly be carried in place of my kukri, and maybe save me a little weight and get in the way less.

I had seen that page a long time ago and seem to remember that it was pricy. They no longer list the price on the site. Does anyone remember how much they cost?

ATAX: Price $229.95 (w/ video)

I had an opportunity to use a friend's ATAX. It is well made and thought out. Would I personally buy one? No, for the money I can duplicate the functions in a few cheaper, dedicated tools.If I lose one, the others may 'soldier through.' If I lose a 'one tool does all', Im up the creek without a paddle-or the means to carve one.
