      The payment per hour is low, in many western countries most of the price value come from work hour. In a third world country or China, the work value isn’t high which make them cheap. If the same axe is made in The US I bet it won’t be just 17 but something at least double the price. For example, you can have your pc fixed with just 3 US dollar in those countries while it will cost you several hundred just for the work hours alone.

      ​@@jackmccoy7435 The U.S used to make those kinds of things. But the reason production moved over to China in the first place was to save money. If manufacturing is going to come back to the U.S, they'll either have more expensive products, or need to develop cheaper manufacturing.
      That'd probably require political intervention (because people wont tolerate paying more for things unless they're forced to) or automation getting good enough that the cost of labor stops mattering so much.
      Or I guess wages in the U.S could collapse. At which point hey, the U.S can start exporting stuff to China!

Really a major barrier is the large amount of capital that needs to be dropped on tooling and equipment (modern equipment capable of functioning with energy [which is cost] efficiency) and the fact that that investment does not see immediate returns. Additionally the tighter regulatory environment makes setting up some things more difficult if not impossible with numerous legal hurdles, some of which make total sense from a safety perspective, and some of which become absurdly pedantic

    I wonder if upgrading that saw with some kerf would be viable option? With a bit of DIY might be usable. Of course it should be good from package, but if the steel is of decent quality, it still might be useful, and using it wouldn't be so tiresome afterwards. Or replacing it entirely with something that'll fit inside that axe handle. For that price it really seems to be a nice tool.

    Is there a small axe/hatchet that you would recommend keeping on a sailboat? Something that could possibly be used for defense, but useful for cutting up driftwood for camp fire on the beach.

    I bought a survival kit on Amazon that cost about $90. It was Chinese too and I fully expected it to fail. It was one of those that had an axe/hammer, a shovel, a pick/hoe, an ice pick, a whistle, mag starter, a dinky saw, and even came with handle wrap for the 7 handle pieces. I ended up using it for a weeklong primitive campout for my daily firewood cutting. Chopped down and chopped up multiple trees. The shovel worked great as well. The nicest thing was that you could make a long handle on the axe for some serious swing. Made short work. Above all else, the quality was unequaled to much of anything else I've seen. Everything had a tight fit and was perfect. And it all fit in a special 5x10x8in pouch. Other than the tiny saw, it was the perfect kit.
    But for pure simplicity, this axe is great. For that price you can't afford not to have an extra axe around. I'll probably get one and see if I can adjust the teeth on that saw.

    Friend of mine got me an identical axe but the name is wakeman on it. Had it for a few years now and I use it all winter as my kindling hatchet. I've brought it camping to have just in case and while out used it to chop up a downed tree. It took a while as could be expected but it did its job the best it could. Keeps a edge fairly well and is easy to get back to a razor's edge.
