I do know these are different tools, but it still seems to me if you want to chop something more easily you would have a sharper edge.
When I received the tomahawk, the blade was decently sharp, but nothing like a knife. The first is the chopping edge and it is 2 and 1/4 inches long. The Trail Hawk has two ends on the blade. The head is a simple hex which I have here, but what if I was in the field? Cold Steel Trail Hawk has a nice feel to it and chopping feels comfortable with the hickory handle. After chopping with the tomahawk for a little while, the axe blade was noticeably looser and was already due for a tightening. Nothing major, maybe a wiggle of a couple millimeters but I think I would need to tighten this after a good bit of use and this fact right here had me a little concerned with the strength of the overall tomahawk. The handle isn’t too wide or too thin and fits really nicely in my hands.Īs I inspected the blade, The first thing I noticed was the set screw in the blade that presumably could be tightened to keep the blade attached to the handle. The length would seem to make this a little harder to configure for carrying but with the right Tomahawk holster that should be fine.
The Trail Hawk was a little longer than I had anticipated but the almost 2 foot long hickory handle allows me to swing this chopper comfortably. The retail for this tomahawk is $29.52 on Knife Hog right now. Before I get into that, I will say Knife Hog delivered this tomahawk very quickly and it was exactly as described on their website. I’ll start off with the specs of this tomahawk and my first impressions upon receiving it from Knife Hog.
Does that mean it isn’t the same quality as Cold Steel? Not necessarily but I was intrigued by this a little more. I may be completely wrong about this, but the tomahawk I received is clearly stamped “Taiwan” on the blade. As far as I was able to glean from looking around the web, the American Tomahawk brand is used by Cold Steel for their imported products. I discovered that the Trail Hawk was actually made by the American Tomahawk Company which is a division of Cold Steel. Cold Steel has been making tough products for over three decades so I was excited to get my hands on a piece of gear from them that fit nicely with my ideas about survival tools.īefore the tomahawk arrived from Knife Hog, I researched the Trail Hawk a little. First, I think a Tomahawk is a great addition to field gear for the utility it provides, which I will discuss later and secondly because of the Cold Steel brand. I was interested in reviewing this particular tomahawk for two reasons. I am only now getting to this review which is long overdue. The purchaser, user or participant assumes all risk of injury from any use.I was given the opportunity to review the Cold Steel Trail Hawk from the good people at Knife Hog back in May.
