Nothing thrashes kindling wood like this tool. Possessed of a nice “heft,” this thick bladed machete works great for chopping up deadfall wood for the fire. Equipped with a .25" thick ×10" long parkerized black carbon steel blade and heavy-duty Cordura and leather sheath, the Ontario SP-8 is a very useful, simple and formidable heavy-duty device. If you cannot make a great pile of firewood with it, you should give up on camping entirely. 1 lb. 3oz.
