Who is buying that last mans gift? Nobody said how many women left.

Being the last person on earth, surrounded by total loneliness and utter destruction, sounds like one of the cruelest fates imaginable.

If I was truly the last man on earth, I wouldn’t want this knife. I would want a bottle of pills that I could gulp down, fall asleep with, and end my life painlessly and respectfully.

Badass survivalist Ron Wood, whose badassedness rivals that of even Chuck Norris himself, :CHUCK NORRIS? ARE WE SPEAKING ON THE SUBJECT OF LOW-BUDGET MARTIAL ARTS/MILITARY FILMS? NEXT:With some slingshot tubing, you can turn the ATAX into an arrow launcher for hunting game.:with some slingshot tubing TED NUGENT (who’s badassedness surpasses your hero Braddock) can also make an arrow launcher out of a stick( which happens to be free) - - - even still i can see many uses you haven’t list.it would be great for hacking into that hundred gram rock. especially since the blade is a high carbon compound and will not effected by the acidic deterioration that usually accompanies the use of metalics for this.And don’t even get me started on the secret stash area in the handle.when you’re packing this much crank around it’s worth a few hundred to come with a blade attached to the most rediculous hiding spot in the world(which also make it the last place anyone would look)

[...] If you can’t remember all the uses, the ATAX actually comes with an instructional DVD to show you how to use it. As Mad Max can tell you, survival doesn’t come cheap — the ATAX runs about $150 to $200. Toolmonger: What Do You Get The Last Guy On Earth For His Birthday? [...]

Best survival tool money can buy: http://tinyurl.com/72qdy”

Um…. yeah, right. Described on that website, “to perform daily tasks such as pounding tent stakes, driving nails, opening ration cans and digging foxholes, not to mention defending lives.”

God help you if you don’t have something to pound nails and open cans when you’re lost in the wilderness….

Interesting tool. I wonder how it would stand up in the Canadian North during winter and - 40 c temperatures, especially if you were to lash it to a stick and use it as an axe. Of course the last man would be more interested in some place warmer and it wouldn’t be crowded.

Sorry, your tool is nifty as all hell, but your answer to your own question is made of fail. The CORRECT answer to the question: “What Do You Get The Last GUY On Earth For His Birthday?” is:

“Anal.”

EDITORS NOTE: Barring the above mentioned gift, a good Blowjob works as an acceptable second. (though it should be inferred and already understood, for completeness of record we shall point out that the descriptive adjective “good” when used to describe fellatio, requires either a finish in the mouth or on the face.)

If he is the last guy on Earth then how would you be there to buy him a gift? Save your money and buy a Gerber EOD model multi tool and a 6″ heavy fixed blade.

$200 (gulp)! I think I’ll wait to see if I am indeed the last man on Earth. If so, I’ll stroll into the local Cabella’s and take what I need. In fact, I’ll probably just move in there.

Looks like a pretty cool item. Knowing the time of day might not be super useful in a true “survival” situation, but honestly, if you’re spending that kind of money on a tool, odds are it’s going to see quite a bit of use before it ever gets to a survival situation.

And knowing the time of day can be useful- if the supply plane drops it’s parachute of gear to you at 3:00 on the 25th, you’ll probably want to be there to get it.

Taking sightings and measuring angles can be useful too. I used to have a Buck General that I’d modified; I drilled a hole in the hand guard to use as a rear sight (the tip of the blade became the front sight) and etched a clinometer into the side of the blade. By dropping a plumb line and sighting down the back of the blade, I could measure the heights of trees very accurately, tell distances, etc.

I’m curious what the other features on this tool are. I’m tempted to forge up one a little more tailored to my own use.

The price seems pretty reasonable for a small production run custom knife with such a spiffy design. I mean, I know people who’ve paid $400 for a 3″ pocket knife. This is a bargain looked at through that lens.

Dunno what the manufacturing costs are, but I suspect the maker isn’t getting rich on this.

So… I think this is a great “survival” tool, many functions in a small package. I do however find it abit absurd to need or have any desire to know the time of day. I don’t really need to make it back to the cave or hut by any certain time do I? None the less, I wouldn’t mind having one for my 4X4, just don’t care for the “bend me over” price of it.

Ah, right. I should’ve gotten that. Probably didn’t because I haven’t seen any of the Mad Max movies in years…

That and I was reading Post-Nuke earlier. Bloody love that comic…

Seriously though, I’d kill for/with that knife.

Post-Nuke Comic reference?! You Sir need to acquaint yourself with Mel Gibson’s magnum opus!

Also, one needs to know what time it is so you can get to cover before the radioactive zombies hit the streets. It’s basic zombie apocalypse survival technique! Come on people!

“When you’re trying to outrun the retched remains of humanity on your way to Bartertown you just can’t pack that much gear.” Oh lawd, is that a Post-Nuke Comic reference?

Seriously though, I like the knife.

You slender lily men demonstrate why the apocalypse is long-overdue. I’ll take one gross of your fine tool, sir, then I’ll be skinning Fred B. and having his liver for lunch.
