Cold Steel 92BX Bad AxeAdded pics and specs to CS-92BX Cold Steel Bad Axe

Like the Special Forces Shovel, the Bad Axe is made of medium cabon steel, over 2mm thick and fully heat treated for strength. The edges of the Bad Axe have been factory honed to a sharp utility edge that can easily be improved to razor sharpness without much effort. The twin edge design offers double the cutting potential. When one edge begins to dull the other is razor sharp. Plus the axe cuts in either direction.

Product Update: Cold Steel 92DD Delta Dart

Cold Steel 92DD Delta DartAdded pics and specs to CS-92DD Cold Steel Delta Dart

The Delta Dart is 8″ long and 1/2″ in diameter yet it weighs only 1/2 an ounce! Its comfortable handle is knurled for a positive grip and the butt is smooth and rounded, so it’s perfect for both thumb and palm reinforced positions. Like the CAT Tanto, the Delta Dart is made from Zytel¨. It is this super tough material that, when combined with the Dart’s sharp point and triangular cross section, accounts for its phenomenal piercing power and allowed it to be driven by hand right through a 1/2″ thick piece of leather.

Because they’re precision injection molded out of heavy-grade polypropylene, these bats just can’t be broken. There’s no need to worry about shards of wood flying in your face. No matter what you hit or how hard you swing them, they just won’t break. And they’re durable too, they won’t rot, crack, or splinter, or even fade. You can treat them as roughly as you choose. You needn’t worry about dirt or the weather affecting them either since they’re impervious to the elements and clean up with soap and water. Try that with a wood bat and you might damage it. 34″ overall length, 2lb 7 oz.
