I have one for "tactical situations" of the home/car camping variety. I had it on a trip once and was practicing throwing it at a big chunk of firewood.

Guy next campsite over sees me throwing it and comes over to take a look. Before I can say anything, he grabs a hold of it and goes to swing it back to split a piece of firewood like you would a normal hatchet. If I hadn't grabbed his arm, he would of impaled the spike end in his face. ;) ;D
Something to consider if you get that type of item. It's not a "camp" axe but would definitely give you some options IF you needed to dissuade a angry 4 or 2 legged varmint.

I would still prefer the Cold Steel item, becasue you can use it as a knife or short/long spear. Handle is hollow for storing emergency fire starter etc.
