SOG FastHawk Polished Tomahawk - Tactical Axe with Sheath, Throwing Hatchet w/ Hammer Axe Edge for Competition Throwing, Camping, Hunting (F06PN-CP)

Solid build & great quality. Pretty much what you'd expect from SOG. I use it for basic outdoors/camping activity & also keep it in my car for the off chance I need it for breaking into/out of somewhere. It's small enough to fit in a backpack but not too small where it's unusable. If you're in the market for something like this & don't want to spend hundreds of extra dollars on an RMJ this is the way to go. It's not knife-blade sharp but a few mins with a file and you can get a very sharp edge on it. Also the spike on the back is great...can be used for whatever devious ideas you can come up with.

My first thing that popped into my head when I pulled it out were: "Wow, this is small." The second thing that popped into my head was : "This packaging is stupid!" (have a knife ready, you'll need one, unless you like fiddling with zip ties for half an hour) The third thing that popped into my head was: "Who cares if these are small, they are awesome!" I am giving this a good review, because I like tomahawks anywhere I can get to use them: Video games (dead rising 2, black ops, red dead redemption), real life, axe throwing competitions on t.v., absolutely anywhere. I am a knife collector, but my love of tomahawks goes deeper than my love of knives. If you are an axe thrower, don't be fooled by the small size, this will throw well, and far, and fast. It is throwing sharp right out of the box, and I nearly cut myself seeing how sharp it was. If you want a small, utility style tomahawk, instead of those flimsy ones we all hate to get suckered into trying out, do not fear, you could put up a fight against a possessed pile of cinder blocks if you needed to. This will kill zombies, mini golems, rabid coyotes, demon monkeys, or anything that you can think of. I won't suggest fighting off a bear or mountain lion, you'll need a shotgun for cqb with one of them. Also, these are a much better size for fighting hawks, mostly due to the fact the voodoo hawk looks like it should belong to optimus prime (who wants a tact'ed out hawk looking like it's from planet cybertron?". I also would advise learning how to throw hawks. They are still good defense weapons when thrown. If a guy with tiny knife threatens you, you take out this hawk, which is well under three inches in blade length, he'll be scared out of the pantyhose he's using to cover his face. Clearing small brush is nothing but easy with this hawk. I was so into this item I bought 4 of them. My grandfather helped design some of the multi-tools sog makes, or used to make, and still has the one they gave him. This is a multi-tool of tomahawks, so don't be afraid to put it through it's paces. Trust me, you won't be able to break it, and if your still unsure about it, try to, sog will replace it with a brand new one. Every sog tomahawk comes with a lifetime warranty. Also buy some grip tape too, you may find the handle to be slippery when you're all sweaty from working with it for a while. Over all, buy MORE THAN one, you'll love them.

These tomahawks are lightweight, easy to throw and develop consistent throws at multiple distances, and are flawless in tactical design in my opinion. The beard drops low enough that these can be used in close quarters protecting the knuckles and can quickly develop into short to medium range threat. Or vice versa if you carry a pair. They are so lightweight and well profiled they conceal easily about your person. As far as the complaints about the handle I think it’s just bad luck. I have a set of three dedicated to just throwing. I have hit or knicked the handle multiple times grouping shots and it still takes a beating. A cheap file set will help with a quick easy sharpening tool and should be used to flatten and sharpen the rear spike. This axe is almost impossible to drop with a bit of practice. You can cleanly stick the axe and control the angle with good wrist control. Reverse grip throws provide a reliable spike first hit that slam the handle upwards and forwards. If used defensively any shot center mass with a reverse grip is going to lodge in the chest or lungs and deliver a handle strike to the face. This could also easily be used for small game. Even a “missed” throw can still deliver tremendous impact. The complaints about the handle are just bad luck. They are actually my favorite aspect of the weapon. I have intentionally thrown this tomahawk to land in a such a way that the handle literally smacks the target every time. They’re basically bullet proof. 6/5 on quality, design, and consistency in the end user products. Some basic maintenance such as sharpening is an obvious must with any blade. I found that I increased the performance when I sanded down the acute edges on the non cutting surfaces and slightly reprofiling the skull crusher. A good quick sanding on the handle in between use keeps the handle smooth yet still grippy and it releases like butter every time. I don’t know I’ve bought a lot of stuff from Amazon and I basically never leave reviews. These are the real deal in every aspect no matter your intended purpose.

Ich habe die Axt für den Garten gekauft, um damit alte Äste oder Sträucher wegzukloppen auf deutsch. Es war aber so stumpf auch die Spitze hinten dass ich es Nacharbeiten musste damit ich mit der Spitze in der Erde lockern konnte damit ich an die Wurzel kam um sie zu zerteilen so dass nichts mehr Nachwuchs.

A very handy tool for you prepper's. Blade is set sturdily, and came in just a few days. I have some other gear from SOG, my multi-tool has lasted 20 years and still can hold a good edge. If I had a complaint (which I do not!), given my height, I could use another hands-length in the handle. The 'pike' should have been 'square' as opposed to the single layer. But if you are a ice-climber, this will work great on that! Update. I have beaten on this for a few months now. I recant my statement on the 'pike', it works just fine, it does NOT bend! It DOES throw very well with practice. Even though I have chopped wood, it did not require a lot of sharpening effort. I've pried some items, it remains just as solid as when first purchased. So I picked up a metal 'hook' for utility belt for it (no I am not Batman), I use it in both my theaters of 'camping and recreation' and for my job.... it goes with me now every day day....

Der FastHawk erfüllt seinen Zweck. Zwei Sterne Abzug gibt es, weil der schwer brechbare Stiel, relativ leicht brechbar ist. Wenn man damit nun allein im Wald steht, und keinen brauchbaren Ersatz hat - Darauf möchte ich nun nicht näher eingehen. Positiv anzumerken ist, dass es keine Probleme mit den Garantieansprüchen gab.
