Tactical Tomahawk

[Guest semiautots]

Thinking of a well made tac tomahawk for my bug out bag.  Any experience with any?  Would look at it as a tool before a weapon.

RMJ Tactical should be your only stop as a Tennessean.  No one makes a better tomahawk than Ryan, and you can keep your business right here in Tennessee.

I have a sog fasthawk. It is awesome and inexpensive. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Ive made a few. I like them alot as both tools and weapons. This is one I made from an Estwing claw hammer, an idea I got off my fellow smith broomhead. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Oh yea...I made one too. Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee

Estwing is making a line of hawks now that are affordable. They are also available at Home Depot. http://m.homedepot.com/p/Estwing-Tomahawk-Axe-in-Black-EBTA/203759826/ Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Edited January 29, 2014 by Moped

I agree.  However, ZT has a new one coming out that looks pretty darn good for those that don't want to shell out the $450 and deal with the wait time for a RMJ.  http://www.bladehq.com/item--Zero-Tolerance-0102-Tomahawk-4--21516

While I find a tomahawk as cool as the next guy, am I the only one that thinks a hatchet would be far more useful? Seems like the hammer end of the hatchet be a lot handier than the pike. That and I'd probably impale myself on it.

I just want to second this sentiment.  If your budget allows, get RMJ.  You will be getting the best there is and money stays here.  Just like buying SOE gear!

I third this,

RMJ makes the best tactical hawks that you can buy, well worth every cent and from a company right here in TN, you cannot go wrong! Edited January 31, 2014 by willis68

Thanks for all the feedback and recommendations!

If you don't get one from Spots, these have been around for a long time. I have carried and used one for 10 years. Not really a tomahawk though.

I want to make an additional comment on RMJ Tactical.  I have a feather Kestral that I beat the crap out of.  I had literally put notches in the beard where I had mistakenly hit rocks with it.  It was definitely used and abused.  I dropped it off at the shop and asked if they could resharpen it.  Several days later I was told it was ready.  When I picked it up, I was blown away.  The hawk looked brand spankin' new.  Cost?  $0.00!  That is standing behind your product, and it is unbelievable customer service.  If it is in your budget and don't mind the wait, RMJ is the way to go.

 

If there was one thing I would add to the hawk, it would be to make the handle a little beefier. If you use it for several hours, you will definitely get some blisters on your hand.

I'll come out of the woodwork for RMJ. I don't think you could ask for a better product or group of people.

[Guest Nick@NKG]

Check out CRKT and SOG  only two I recommend. 

[Guest tangojuliet]

rmj is ultra nice dont get me wrong would love to own one but ..... if you after a tomahawk as a tool i can suggest colsteels tomahawks or even go here .....  http://www.trackofthewolf.com/List/Item.aspx/473/3 i have this one here  http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/471/1/AXE-SPIKE

[Guest hawkeye369]

I would reccomend the Colt X-1 tomahawk. I bought a sog tomahawk awhile back and the plastic handle broke on it after throwing it a few times. The Colt one is solid 1055 carbon steel and wont break.

Kershaw Siege, new for 2014.   I put in a pre-order the other day for one of these.   Gotta believe it's at least worth the price of $49.   I haven't seen a release date yet.   I'll let you guys know how I like when I take delivery.

450 for a tomahawk?  WOW, beautiful blade.....but damn.  Thats some serious cabbage.

I have one of Spots. They fit very nice in the hand and I have used mine a lot in the past week and this hawk is a tank. I split a wheel barrel load of oak kindling with it. And it didn't cost an arm and a leg ( at least not yet) LOL

[Jason in TN]

This is the one I got CRKT RMJ great hawk with out the high price or the wait.

I've had alot of interest in those on facebook, so if you run into anything you would change let me know. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I picked up a hand forged tomahawk from the last renaissance festival from one of the smiths there and have been really pleased with it. I will have to post a pic tonight. I spent $160 on it and feel it was a great value as compared to the others I have (cold steel). Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
