>>880215>Convince me that an axe is more useful than a large camp knifeAxe does the job it is made for better than a large knife. What you cannot do with a knife, at all, is split knotted wood. It will break your large camp knife sooner or later, no matter what you say.
Also, what you should compare is a set of tools in a specific situation, not just a camp knife or an axe.
Need to make lots of firewood? Axe.
Need to make food? Normal knife.
Need to saw stuff? Folding saw.
Need to do a bit of everything but not very well? Camp knife.
