SOG Tomahawk Tactical Hatchet - Voodoo Hawk Mini Tactical Axe, Throwing Hatchet w/ 2.75 Inch Blade for Survival Sports and Camping Axes (F182N-CP)

Solid, balanced and rugged.Bought this when I read about that P.o.S. in Arkansas that attacked the family of hikers. I’m a former Army Ranger, so still very much in the habit of scanning for weapons in any situation.No need to scan anymore while hiking or camping with the family. I was looking for something that can easily and discreetly fit into a camelbackThis will do just fine.

When I bought this hawk I already owned a SOG FastHawk, which I had bought primarily as a throwing hawk which it excels at. I was interested in the longer cutting edge, more aggressive bottom "hook", and pommel on the VooDoo hawk as a fighting/survival hawk and to see if it could be thrown as easy as the FastHawk. The hawk cuts well right out of the package although a little sharpening greatly improved this and I did reshaped the contour on the piercing point to increase penetration, all in all about 30 minutes work with a stone and file. The hawk throws well, after you get used to the pommel sliding thru your hand and removal of the pommel, quite easy, improved this ability but unless throwing is your primary use for this hawk I'd leave it on as it provides for a much more secure grip when performing other jobs with it.This hawk is almost indestructible with over 300 throws into and against the butt end of a 26" log, not all of them stuck as intended, with no loosening of the handle or damage to the blade. The short handle makes it easy to pack in almost any method you choose and still provides striking power for any job you would choose this type of tool for. It chops well and pierces both cinder blocks and steel doors with ease and will take out a car window with one good tap. The only "con" i have is the sheath, which protects both the blade and you quite well, is unuseable one-handed without risking injury. I still gave the hawk 5 stars because I didn't buy it for the sheath. There are aftermarket sheaths available if you require one-handed capability.I'm a retired firefighter with 28 years of service and 18 years of service as a LEO in various capacities. I highly recommend this hawk as an addition to any firefighters utility belt, manys the time I could have used it and having this tool in a squad car could save many lives on emergency scenes where minor extrication is needed fast and the police arrive first, and they almost always do.

Perfect.The axe is well balanced, a great size, and incredibly perfect for outdoors. For those waiting for the zombie apocalypse, this may not be your first choice in tools. You undead enemy would have to be way too close for comfort. For those looking for a great outdoor tool, this is well made, solid, and will do the job.

Bought in 2017 and have beat the hell out of it. From opening cocunuts to splitting camp logs, its has held up great. A bit heavy, but solid and beefy. I wouldnt consider it for fighting with, but for a good beater tomahawk, you cant go wrong. I also live near the ocean and it barely has any rust so if they are making it like they did in 2017, a great buy.

This is a small tomahawk, useful for light chopping. I like the stainless steel for rust resistance. The handle is comfortable and the balance is good. The pommel adds a bit of counterweight compared to some other designs. It’s also compact, so easier to carry, store or swing compared to others. If you want something ultra durable and about the same size, look into the Estwing tomahawk. If you’re looking for something intimidating or lightweight and easy to use, this might be for you.

This is crazy durable. Light and balanced! The handle does look just like Thors handle in the Avenger movies. Makes me wonder…Size is smaller but makes it compact enough to comfortably wear on your belt. Built well. Seems to perform well when called upon. Good value in my book.

Es muy cómoda y liviana. Tiene bastante filo, de hecho por un descuido tuve un pequeño corte en el dedo, pero nada grave.La he usado para cortar ramas con mucha facilidad y pequeños troncos. Muy buen producto de SOG.

This is well made and to me will handle the outdoor elements. Just need to sharpen it a little more on either end and then it will be perfect
