That's a "Vietnam" type tomahawk, for sure! I LIKE IT! That would be a mean motherf***er in CQB.

My tomahawk may arrive tomorrow. With any luck, I'll give you a quick "unboxing" critique/review.

I am dead serious about the tomahawk. Mine should take a beating... my opponent may not.

I like it! It certainly will "bring things to a close" without alarming the neighbors.

That "War hammer" is an excellent idea. It works for me!

Ian:

You have a nice collection going.

Blessings,

Thanks, TRYKER. I think you know what I'm seeking in a tomahawk. This will be used primarily when I want to defend my place/person without using a handgun/shotgun. I want to swing it (spike first) at an intruder's skull, or blade first to lop off/remove an arm. You know this is the original purpose ...

Again, this full-tang Tomahawk should serve me well. (I know that most folks on this site will have little use for a tomahawk, but I think that it will serve me rather well). It isn't a true hatchet, but the 1075 steel will hold a good edge and is tough enough to take a beating without rolling the e...

Oh, that is HOT! That's something that deserves to be carried and used every day! Nice tool, and a brilliant conversion!

I went for the Condor Axe Tomahawk. 1075 tempered Carbon Steel with a long "beard" Axe bit and "full tang" handle wrapped in paracord. I found this "top of the line" Tomahawk for $59.50. (At this price it was a steal).

Thanks to all. I looked at the "TOPS" machete and decided to "shift gears". Instead, I ordered a Condor Tomahawk. It has 1075 Carbon Steel with a long "beard" on the bit of the "full-tang" 'hawk with a nice point for piercing cranial structures. (Works for me)...

Nothing, but I would like to have a shorter, more rugged version that is thicker yet easier to wield.

I have been thinking about obtaining a Tomahawk for Personal Defense? (other purposes are secondary).

I'd like some opinions on the SOG Fasthawk.

Not familiar with either of these.

Links?

John: That's a hilarious Photoshop. "Gee Wally, will they work on a cat? 'cause I busted a violin string."

Nice one, Jeremy. I wish that I had one like that. Talk about the "great American pocket knife". That has to be it.
