CS90TH: Trail Hawk
Cold Steel

Modeled after an early frontier pattern, our Trail Hawk can do it all. It's an excellent chopper and has a functional hammer poll with a hardened face so you can drives nails, hammer in stakes, and smash or crush just about anything. Best of all it's extremely lightweight and compact so it's a cinch to tuck it under your belt or lash it to a pack or shooting bag.

Drop Forged Tomahawks

These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from 1055 Carbon steel. Drop forging is, without doubt, the best method of manufacture for any impact weapon, particularly one with a cutting edge. During the forging process a metal ingot is heated almost white hot and then formed into shape in a series of progressive dies. The large steel dies are fixed to enormous compressed air hammers. Each die hammers the hot metal into a gradually more finished shape. The steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogenous mass making the grain structure uniform and minimizing gas pockets or other imperfections that can ruin the construction of a hand forged hawk. This is why most good axes, hatchets, and hammers are drop forged.

These hawks are differentially heat treated. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fully hardened, while the balance is left relatively soft to absorb the shock of striking blows.

Pros: Head Material, Balance, Construction, Weight, Handle Material
Cons: None
This smaller tomahawk is well made and well worth every cent. Refinshed the handle for personal prefence, just love a darker stained look on wood. My younger son really like this tomahawk as well, he can throw at wood targets quite easy. This is a must have for hiking or just exploring through the woods. Highly recommended !

Very good camp hawk
I purchased this hawk to use kayak camping. It is a little light to cut large logs etc, however it will shear through vines, smaller branches etc. It packs very nice and is very handy. The longer handle makes it balance very nice. I would recomend this hawk to anyone who wants a light hawk to keep around the camp, when you are backpackings or kayaking camping. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is because it is made in Tawian, but is labled as American Tomahawk Company.
