great for those grey areas where machetes break
There are a lot of words below, but basically this is a really great tool for those situations where you break your machete with heavier chopping.I bought this axe/tomahwak whatever, because I wanted a smaller axe head for cutting honeysuckle roots. I also just had a few arm surgeries and have always loved Estwing’s shock absorbance qaulities. The pick end is very handy for knocking the roots clear of dirt before chopping them. I saw a lot of one star reviews from “mall ninja’s” and feel like I throw in my two cents. The handle is much longer than the tomahawks we used in the middle east, which were meant to be used as melee weapons and not to be thrown. The pick end is plenty sharp enough, if you need to rely on the back of your tomahawk to stick in whatever you are throwing it at, practice. I did attach some poplar tree discs to a shooting backstop and throw this tool for about half an hour. Nothing wrong with it if you want to throw it one or two-handed. If you are concerned about not having sexy tomahawk grooves to adjust your grip for range, put some rubber bands on the handle in the spots where you need them. Every melee weapon I have ever thrown in my life has required practice, a basic understanding of physics, and a decent eye for range (I have thrown knives, axes, tomahawks, hummel figurines, and a cat once). utlimately, if you want to throw a tomahawk, this probably isn’t for you. Find something made by somebody else that has ‘tactical’ in the name (this magically adds at least 75 dollars to any purchase you are making, including fishing line… and makes you a much better ‘warrior’). no matter how much money you spend, you should really practice. That being said, there are better tomahawks for throwing, I just have no idea what they are, because throwing tomahawks isn’t really my thing. This item is very lightweight but very well made, like every Estwing product I have ever purcahased. Estwing: you’ll lose it before you break it. Since it is lightweight, it would not be my primary choice for splitting, but maybe as a camp ax. However, since it is lightweight, you can really put some stank on it when swinging. Remember my earlier reference to physics? well energy=1/2 of mass X velocity(squared). this item is heavy enough to get the job done, you are just going to have to swing it faster, once again practice if you like having toes. I have never had a problem with Estwing tools and I am sure their customer service is great, but I have never had to call them because I have never had a problem with their tools. Don’t be confused by the ‘made in china’ vs ‘made in america’ thing. Estwing imports raw steel from China and then forges their tools. It is the metallurgist at Estwing that is responsible for the great quality of their tools. I expect this to last a lifetime and I will probably donate it to a library or animal shelter when I die.w/ regards to it not being sharp enough: again, mall ninjas buy something with tactical in the name and you should be fine. it is plenty sharp for a WEDGE tool and the great quality of the steel makes putting an edge back on it a 15 minute process. I only use an axe puck maybe 180/360 grit or something like that to sharpen stuff like machetes and axes. Sure, you can move up to a higher grit stone and probably get an edge that would be the envy of Gillette, but it really doesn’t need to be that sharp. I left the pick end alone as far as modifications. This item is balanced very well and I don’t need a needle point pick (I also didn’t want to effect the balance by knocking off material), plus for all the mall ninjas worried about a zombie apocalypse, you don’t want to stab yourself with a zombie blood covered pick on your backswing (at least according to Walking Dead zombie rules).the shock handle is the same as on all their tools (not talking about the leather grip, but the blue and black ones). It does a great job of reducing the vibration felt while striking.So, great tool/weapon/sparkly glitter stick or whatever you want to call it. Great pirce and I fully expect it to outlive me.I guess if you want to throw axes, maybe go on quora and get into a discussion group or a facebook group or whatever and see what the ‘masters’ are throwing, and remember, anything with ‘tactical’ in the name is going to make you instantly better at whatever you are doing.

This is NOT a “hatchet” and isn’t designed to be used as such. It is a self-defense/breaching tool.
This is an honest-to-goodness, full-tang Tomahawk, forged along the lines of Peter Lagana’s Vietnam Tomahawk with a “lightening space” for ease of carry and rapid direction change during any downward stroke. Be advised that these are forged from 1055 Carbon Steel and are prone to rust in damp environs. If you plan to leave yours in a car and/or truck, periodically wipe it down with gun oil or WD-40 to prevent it from corroding.The Nylon/Rubber handle is great for preventing blisters from being generated on gloveless hands. It also prevents vibration from being transmitted to the arms and resulting in premature fatigue. This feature can also help avoid electric shock if you unintentionally sever a live electric wire.The Tomahawk is a “breaching tool” and can be used to break automobile safety glass, as well as prying open a jammed car door. The head has enough mass for chopping through doors, yet can be lashed to a pack for easy carry and immediate access.The “Ballistic-Nylon” sheath holds the Tomahawk in a reasonably secure fashion and there is a belt loop on the back of it for packing it around that way. (The sheath is made in Taiwan and is okay, but a more “robust” sheath could be substituted for better accessibility). Time will tell if the sheath will “break in” and become more useful with the passage of time.This Tomahawk is a great “bang for the buck”. I bought two so that I could lend one to a roommate. He has indicated that he would like one to keep, so it is likely that he’ll be purchasing one to have for his own. I liked it so much, that I bought it twice!REMEMBER: This is NOT a hatchet. While it can be used for splitting kindling and light chopping, it is not designed to be continually used as a hatchet. If you want a hatchet, buy one. This is a Tomahawk. Buy it and use it as one. The design parameters are entirely different. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO “MAKE AS SILK PURSE FROM A SOW’S EAR”! Doing so will result in disappointment and frustration.For both the price and purpose, I highly recommend this Tomahawk.

Fine for the price
I just bought it and have not used it much but it looks and feels tough. Both blade and point are not sharp but that is not a big issue as I can sharpen them if needed. I will update the review when it has undergone more extensive usage.One question though: Is the “hole” at the base of the handle for a lanyard? It only goes as far as the rubbery grip and does not go through the metal tang. Is this a manufacturing defect?

Amei a MACHADINHA, excelente balanço, peso e em equilÃbrio! A fama dos martelos nessa linda TOMAHAWK

works well although takes some getting used to the balance. the handle is really comfortable, like a good hammer, kind of nice relative to my old wood handle wood hatchet. the head is pretty light and it’s longer than my old camping hatchet but feels great. feels like a solid hunk of steel, the coating is nice and thick on it as well, no scratching the powder coat off with a fingernail. Comes with both edges protected, i havent tried sharpening. i’ve never tried sharpening any axe, probably wont bother. I didnt think much about how i’d use it when i bought it, which is more of a camping atmosphere so if i dont adjust well i’m eyeballing the estwing dual head hatchet.

Starkes Beil, Tomahawk, Handaxt Рwie man es auch nennen m̦chte. Robust wie ne Brechstange, da aus einem Guss gefertigt. Quasi full tang Axt

Doy cursos de supervivencia y este tomahawk esta hecho para durar una vida!!! Hecho 100% de acero templado puede resistir el abuso mas grande. Algo difÃcil de afilar por su dureza pero no está diseñada para rasurar asi que no es problema
