Tools and Hardware Reviews of SOG Specialty Knives & Tools F01T Tactical Tomahawk, Black
Customer Review: Cool
Summary: 4 Stars
So far(3 trips) this has held up well in both camp use and throwing. For a toy/tool combo this is hard to beat; if you are looking for a serious hawk there are better ones out there. The edge has held nicely while trimming branches and being stuck in pine targets. I would wrap the handle in grip tape as it can get a little slick.Customer Review: Cool tool
Summary: 5 Stars
This SOG Specialty is exactly what the ad said it was and more. One of my most useful tools. Cool gift for guys who work or play out doors.Customer Review: Decent "Hawk" for the money.
Summary: 5 Stars
In Vietnam, American Special Forces soldiers soon learned a lesson their ancestors knew very well--a tomahawk is better than a knife for close combat. In spite of its popularity, my own opinion of the Vietnam tomahawk has always been that it's a wimpy little ax, with a head that's too small for real work and a handle that will snap like a twig. It's a crude blunt instrument that looks like an ax. The SOG Fusion Tactical Tomahawk takes the concept behind the Vietnam Special Forces ax and gets rid of the many problems.
Weight is a major concern whether you are a hunter or a soldier, and you need a lot of positives to carry a 24 oz axe as a regular part of your kit. The SOG Fusion justifies every ounce. The steel ax head, with the traditional military spike for balance, has a 2 3/4" straight edge that's properly ground so you can efficiently chop wood or heavy bone. Hunters of big game often find a small ax to be more efficient at butchering tasks than a heavy knife, something nearly everyone knew in the frontier days.
The weakest point of the old Vietnam axe was the wooden handle, too thin at the juncture with the axe head to be reliable. The Fusion has a much less destructible fiberglass handle with rubberized grip. Once marketed as "unbreakable," fiberglass proved to be much less than perfect as a tool handle. The tang and rivet attachment of head to handle that you see in the Fusion is an excellent solution to the old issue of head separation, a puzzle that smiths have battled for centuries. Used with some skill, this combination really should last forever. In camp you'll find it's endlessly practical.
Customer Review: Do Not Buy This

This tomahawk will break. I know two people beside myself who have bought this tomahawk, their's are broken too. The metal will bend and chip chopping soft sapplings, the handle will break if you chop something too hard. I guarantee it!
Again,
DO NOT BUY THIS!

Nice tomahawk made well but not for throwing as it will damage it!up by the top of the handle, so it,s just eye candy now and a close combat weapon!
