Is this the first or second generation axe? There were some improvements on the 2nd gen.

As far as I am aware, there is a 2nd Generation Knife, but only one Les Stroud Axe.

All of our bushman axes are generation 2.The major difference is metal composition,and the wedge that holds the shaft into the head.You can tell the difference in that Gen2 uses a metal wedge.

Don't know about the second one. I like the one that I own. Never had a problem, sounds great and looks great.

Not sure as I never owned an S.O.G.. I will say this axe is EXCELLENTLY made and very high quality.

Yes sir this is the second edition model with the longer handle. Im very happy with this product as well.

No. The one I got was either the 2nd, or 3rd generation one. Steel lockbar insert, and cutout/depression facing out. It's a pretty nice knife. Only two small complaints: kind of bulky, and the lockup was about 50/55%. I'd buy it again if I had to do it all over.

It looked to be a newer version of the electronics than that on my Sunburst AJ-220SCE, Both are wonderful playing and sounding guitars. The first one I bought had a really bad neck but using Amazon prime was no problem sending it back and getting replacement

Thanks for the info. I ended up keeping my 1st gen & doing the upgrade for $10. I love it! After using it the speaker seems like it would be worthless & it is very easier to adjust the volume anyway.

Nope this is the first. If you get one without a back camera, thats the first gen, which I have now...have fun...

The second generation has an added volume rocker and a built-in speaker, which were previously iPhone-only features. The second generation also comes with the chrome frame seen on the iPhone 3G, it also is slightly thinner, has tapered edges, a longer battery life, built in Nike+ and comes installed with the 2.0 Software Update, although you can get it at the App Store for about $10.

It's actually one of the more heavy duty versions this company offers. I would stay away from the other regular looking knife. But this one and the axe are nice and sturdy and durable... And sharp! You'll impress with this knife, and the sheath is pretty cool too!

I'm not positive I believe your right they are first and 2nd generations. Hope that helps. Love mine!

Mine was the CREE XM-L. Not really sure about how it compares to the 2nd gen, but the XM-L is plenty bright and efficient.

Very good question. I did buy the 36" axe, but I received a request for the review on the axe you mentioned. I wasn't paying close attention. I cannot speak for the shorter axe, but the 36" is nothing short of awesome!

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

I dont know for sure. I do know that i bought mine after they were unavailable for quite a while. If you can tell me how to distinguish gen 1 from gen 2, Id be happy to check for you. I can tell you that im a really happy camper. I like these. I use them for spectator sports mostly. Also tried the Minox and these were a better fit.

A choice between?!? I don't understand. The handle is tough. I've abused this ax. I re read the description and can't find where there is a choice of handles... Anyway, you will have fun with this ax! Its solid.

Mine is pretty close. Slightly longer than a hatchet head, similar blade length. All forged heads vary slightly. For example, one of my Wetterling axes curves back more due to less steel in lower edge. Based on my experience, you should be very pleased with value of husqvarna vs more expensive Swedish axes.
