The description says the handle is only 6.8 in. long. Is that a misprint? If the whole axe is 15.70, how can the handle only be 6.8???

The 6.8" handle they refer to is the rubber sleeve covering the lower half of the shank

The whole handle is 15 inches. The bottom 6-7 inches is an actual rubberized form fitted "handle".

The whole handle is longer than that...I'm guessing they are referencing the lower hand hold section. The ax can be handled closer to the head quite comfortably for more delicate chopping. Both hand holds are very comfortable with this ax.

Well im another customer I own this axe it's long enough sharp as hell I recommend it for a survival axe

They are referring to the handle as the part that has the rubberized grip. There is 6.8 in of rubberized handle to grip the ax with. Of course the rest of the handle or neck or whatever you want to call it keeps going but it is polymer and does not have rubberized grip on it.

There is a grip ' a handle and a blade. The grip makes up for the rest of the axe.

That is a misprint. I am not in town and can not tell you the actual; however, I am very pleased with the product.

The overall length is six inches and the blade is 3-1/2".. The handle is a little short, but it is very useable.

The handle itself is 3.75 inch long. It is fairly heavy so you have to go gently. It gives me a fantastic close, gentile shave with great control.

Could be typo left when this listing was coppyed from the trail hawk listing my rifleman's hawk came with a 22inch handle

hey ashley, the blade is 4" from bottom to handle which would make the total measurements 5x6.... hope this helps...kb

The handle is 4" across, but the blade is 6" across. Would this then be a 6" Ulu?

I own 3 Victorinox knives. One has a 6" blade. The other two are 8". Regarding the one you are interested in, I think it's safe to expect the 10" to be a description of the length of the blade only.

Whoever is working for Amazon and wrote that info messed up. The blade Is 7" and the rest is 5". But that really should be the least of your worries. It's such a badass blade. So happy I bought it for my friend. Buy it.

Handle is 15" long which is correct, product is of good quality steel, the head the handle screws into is 3 5/8th inches long for a total leverage point of 17 1/2 inches at center vise.

Per page 57 of the official Cold Steel 2014 Catalog the handle is 5", the blade is 7" and overall is 12". Amazing that the description has 3" handle + 7" blade = 12".

The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long. Closed it's a shade shorter than 3.5". The handle is wood over metal and so far I haven't had any issues with the wood. This is more on the style of a true "pocket knife." I don't know how it would hold up cutting wire but as a pocket knife I am very pleased. I normally carry a Buck Alpha with a 4" blade. It too is a good knife but if you are dressed up and feel like you're missing something when you haven't pocketed your knife then this is the knife for you. I might also mention that it holds an edge well. The bald length is closer to 2.75" but it is measured from the tip back to the very end, just about where the hinge is. Opened, the knife is 6" long.

10" is the blade only. The handle is another 5 1/2". I have both the 8" and 10". I prefer my 8". The 10" is too flexible for me. I bought the 8" over 5 years ago. I'm wondering if the company didn't downgrade the material on the 10". The quality of the 8" 'feels' better to me.

you will find a lot of differing dimensions in the comments. my axe head is 6 inches from blade to back and slightly over 3 inches tall. it fits snuggly inside the sheath. anything larger will not fit. hope that helps.

The blade is 12".The product dimensions are 16.5 x 3.3 x 0.4 inchesThe handle alone is the roughly size of your hand, so that's at about 6" in length. The blade is double that length at 12". With some overhang, that's roughly equal to the 16.5" of the product page dimensions. If the entire tool were 12", the proportions would be unsuitable for an adult hand to operate. Hope this helps!

Handle length is actually about 3.6 inches, and the actual blade length is 7". The blade has about a half inch that has absolutely no edge before it even reaches the finger guard. But the overall measurement includes not just the blade and grip, but also the finger guard, and the butt of the hilt of the knife's grip. The bottom end of the handle, isn't treated as a part of the grip. The widened part at the bottom of the hilt isn't meant to grip. But that part alone, is about an inch by itself.

As it says in the description, 3.75 inches. If you're used to a six inch Mach # handle, it's shorter but you won't care. They make a longer one. This is a pretty standard length and it's worked for all sizes of hands for more than a century.

I ordered mine years ago, (love it) the blade on mine is 19 in and came in a cardboard sleeve .... Not sure if they changed this by now. . . Really impressed with this cold steel katana machete
