Cold Steel Rifeman's Hawk


Cold Steel Rifleman’s Hawk


I’ve owned this tomahawk for three years now and it has withstood hours of use.  The most rigorous action it has seen was cutting down a tree approximately ten inches in diameter. 
In addition to felling other small trees I’ve thrown it from 5-15 feet.  During these throws, the head of the hawk sometimes became loose, about once out of every 50-70 throws.  This wasn’t a common occurrence and the head could easily be repositioned so that it was stable. 
A good friend of mine added a nice paracord handle to his, I’ll eventually add one to mine to make chopping more comfortable.

If you plan to use this just for throwing or are looking for a sturdy camp axe, you'll be pleased either way.   Consider buying a sheath for it if you don't feel comfortable carrying it on your belt.
