Awesome review man. Proper coverage and demonstration (in a natural survival setting, +) of what this tool can be used for, unlike some reviews where the guy just hacks away at random objects; you definitely have my subscription! Cheers!
I got the small version with the molded plastic sheath. For me this is more of a carpenter's tool. This axe head is similar in design to a gyprock hammer/axe. The top of the blade is angled forward and gives you the ability to chop into a corner where as with a regular axe you couldn't do that.
Not sure man. If you want something that can take a TON of stress, I'd recommend Gerber's new military-grade tomahawk. Check out my Shot Show review on it.
These normally come wrapped in a plastic bag, zip-tied to a cardboard sleeve with Styrofoam blocks on both sides of the handle, and all of this in the box you showed. If your's didn't, then it was probably used as a display or maybe had been a customer return. Nice review. I will definitely subscribe and watch more.
I bought this tomahawk about a year ago.The first time I used I I missed the log I was cutting.The thing went two inches into my leg creating a huge laceration.Nine stitches later I was walking out of an emergency room.
this might not go over well, but i have this and the coghlans pack axe. at one pound, with super junky metal, i prefer the pack axe to the sog tomahawk. cuts better, is lighter, packs more easily. doesn't have the spike, and you can't hammer, but the curved blade actually lets it slice through the wood, (traditional axes are curved too.) for my money, both were gifted to me, but if i had to spend moneyt, i'd spend it on the coghlans (and have about twenty five left over)
Great tomahawk, especially foor the price. Nylon sheath truly sucks, though, Sheath grommet holes spaceing doesn't support tying it down well with paracord and the belt loop is so smae it's near useless. The SOG plastic sheath comes with a rotating Tek-Loc. I like it a lot but it cost me more than the Hawk! I liked the FastHawk enough that I bought another this year to attach to my car kept GHB, first one is on the GHB in the house.
I traded my Sog off to a bud and got the Estwing. Its so much more tuffer. I also found a Estwing camp hatchet at a garage sale for $2. I think it weights about the same and in reality is much handier. I rubbed off the rust with steel wool. Resharpened and oiled it. I like the blunt end more that the spike on my Black eagle........oh decisions, decisions.
i got one of the fast hawks and its pretty great! i wish it were larger and that the axe head were wider, but its works so i cant complain :) jus be extra careful with the top corner, its slightly tapered so its really sharp. i should have been more careful because i ended up putting it in my hand lol
Man - sorry to hear that. I'll keep using mine and if it busts I'll post about it. Have you contacted SOG? Seems like that would be something they'd replace.
I'm curious what state this is located in? There's a nice blend of deciduous and coniferous trees in that forest. I'm picking one of these up later this week!
SOG makes novelty knives with subpar quality..Ive tried a few including the SOGFARI and the fasthawk..the sheaths are CRAP tangs broke on both and the beltloops unraveled almost immediately..Like I said NOVELTY..The price should be indicative of the quality
Lol i dont think that was oak mate. Been a woodworker for 6 uears now and iv made everything from cabinets to grips for 1911s.... Never have i been able to hammer a nail into oak without pre-drilling, even with a real hammer.
Shows how much you know. It was used as a multi purpose tool including chopping wood up to as a boarding axe used by the Royal Navy, besides used as a weapon. I just love people, who all of sudden become experts and don't know anything what they speak of.
I killed a pissed off raccoon with it. I will say that it took to hits but it did the job . The raccoon was trapped in my large city issued trash can and I tried everything not to kill it but when I dump it over it attacked me and two tomahawk hits later dead raccoon. So I guess you could hut raccoons with it
+EverydayTacticalVids The reason why I'm interested in these tatical tomahawk.Is that I kinda see them more useful than combat knives.I seen people use the back end and twisted off the lock and braking it.However I'm just wondering is there a Tomahawk out there strong enough to smash a few holes in a brickwall?I'm just wondering because than Infantry can just use this for urban combat and make quick fighting positions by smash a few holes in the wall.
You miss quite alot with your hacking.. He,he.. Have the same axe but I find it to be more like a weapon or a show off!! My sheet broke apart the third tine I took the axe out of it.. The pop- things came to an end..
3:45 he says use it to break rocks, and also i forgot to mention thats made out of 420 steel,which is the weakest stainless steel,the edge is going to get blunted very easy and you constantly need to sharpen it,and if you use the blunt part to break rocks you are probably gonna bend it,
I do not recommend this. I bought mine a year ago. After a couple times throwing it the head gets loose and you cant tighten it back up becasue the screws are cheap aluminium I think and they strip.
Kev Gunner I've had mine for a few years now, used it a fair bit for chopping timber for campfires as well as throwing. hadn't effected the screws at all. nor have I had to sharpen it up much
Weakest review and use footage I've ever seen. Takes a couple swings and needs to sit and talk. I cannot imagine this guy in a real SHTF scenario. Unless this is some kind of parody and he's a lot more serious than he pretends in this.
