SOG Tomahawk Tactical Hatchet - Voodoo Hawk Mini Tactical Axe, Throwing Hatchet w/ 2.75 Inch Blade for Survival Sports and Camping Axes (F182N-CP)

Solid, balanced and rugged. Bought this when I read about that P.o.S. in Arkansas that attacked the family of hikers. I’m a former Army Ranger, so still very much in the habit of scanning for weapons in any situation. No need to scan anymore while hiking or camping with the family. I was looking for something that can easily and discreetly fit into a camelback This will do just fine.

Perfect. The axe is well balanced, a great size, and incredibly perfect for outdoors. For those waiting for the zombie apocalypse, this may not be your first choice in tools. You undead enemy would have to be way too close for comfort. For those looking for a great outdoor tool, this is well made, solid, and will do the job.

SOG always makes incredibly high quality items. This tomahawk is no exception. I've been throwing it for a few days and even after it hit a nail that was buried in my plank it only suffered a tiny ding, which I ground out with a diamond sharpener. Now the top edge is a little more rounded, which makes it even better for throwing. It is well balanced and the pommel is also really tough. I like the heft of it. My husband chucked it into an old stump and it went in about two inches. Had to use a crowbar to get it out. I've got other hatchets for cutting/splitting wood but this one would work well enough for any of those applications as well. It can really take a beating and the grip is super comfortable.

I had originally rated this as a 5 star but now that I've used it in more situations I can't rate it is a top product. The hatchet (axe, tomahawk..) is great. I use it for trail clearing so it gets plenty of hard use. It is very light weight and works great. It's arrived very sharp and the blade is designed so it works well with standard knife sharpeners. The problem is the sheath. When I carry the axe on my belt I position it just behind the midpoint of the side of my waist. This way it doesn't get in the way when I'm walking and doesn't get caught up in bushes or branches. It's extremely hard for me to get the hawk back in the sheath - this is due to poor design and the fact that it is made from pretty cheap and flimsy material. I've now cut myself 6 times while struggling to get it back into the holder - the handle slides into the hole just fine but the sharp end of the product doesn't easily fit back into the "pocket". I'm pretty sure this would not be a problem had SOG not scrimped so much on the quality of the sheath and used a better (stiffer) material or designed a form factor that worked better in the real world (I don't think it's really practical to carry this on your side - it has to be carried well behind your front pocket area). I really like the utility and durability of the tool and don't regret my purchase but it's a shame the price didn't include a decent solution for carrying the product on your waist. If you are going to carry the axe in a pack the sheath won't be a problem - it works fine if you can use two hands. It just won't work with one hand and you will struggle twisting around to use both hands if you carry this behind the midpoint of your waist. Perhaps this is a bit nit-picky but I wish I had known about it before I purchased the product so I thought I would give a "heads-up" review.

When I bought this hawk I already owned a SOG FastHawk, which I had bought primarily as a throwing hawk which it excels at. I was interested in the longer cutting edge, more aggressive bottom "hook", and pommel on the VooDoo hawk as a fighting/survival hawk and to see if it could be thrown as easy as the FastHawk. The hawk cuts well right out of the package although a little sharpening greatly improved this and I did reshaped the contour on the piercing point to increase penetration, all in all about 30 minutes work with a stone and file. The hawk throws well, after you get used to the pommel sliding thru your hand and removal of the pommel, quite easy, improved this ability but unless throwing is your primary use for this hawk I'd leave it on as it provides for a much more secure grip when performing other jobs with it. This hawk is almost indestructible with over 300 throws into and against the butt end of a 26" log, not all of them stuck as intended, with no loosening of the handle or damage to the blade. The short handle makes it easy to pack in almost any method you choose and still provides striking power for any job you would choose this type of tool for. It chops well and pierces both cinder blocks and steel doors with ease and will take out a car window with one good tap. The only "con" i have is the sheath, which protects both the blade and you quite well, is unuseable one-handed without risking injury. I still gave the hawk 5 stars because I didn't buy it for the sheath. There are aftermarket sheaths available if you require one-handed capability. I'm a retired firefighter with 28 years of service and 18 years of service as a LEO in various capacities. I highly recommend this hawk as an addition to any firefighters utility belt, manys the time I could have used it and having this tool in a squad car could save many lives on emergency scenes where minor extrication is needed fast and the police arrive first, and they almost always do.

I don’t normally write reviews but this is awesome. The head of the axe the spike and the cap at that end of the handle are all three solid points of impact capable of doing damage. The whole thing has a sturdy unbreakable feel to it. It would work for any application you could possibly need a tomahawk for

Para el campismo, defensa personal, altamente manejable por casi cualquier persona por su peso, balance, medidas, de la calidad de materiales, basta decir que una SOG, el filo es muy fino

Awesome tomahawk, very well made, looks fantastic, a real collector piece. I won't be throwing mine but you could very effectively. The chopper head on this is a different look from the SOG Fasthawk and the spike is also a little different. I really like the look of this model, to me it feels better balanced as I have the Fasthawk as well. I do prefer the head on this one, the cutting surface is longer and their is a little more weight in the chopping action as the head is solid. Great tool or weapon whatever your personal preference you will have a good secure grip with this for throwing, breaching a door or as a close quarter combat weapon. I prefer this one from the all black one because I like the contrast, the shiny steel against the black handle. It comes wit a head cover, not much to say about that other than it encases and protects the head whether you're carrying it externally or in a pack, I have a few hawks and they are all about the same, can't say as I've seen a really effective belt mount carry system yet. Overall, a very good addition to your general equipment list or just a great display item.

Genial.

Cool axe!
