First time ive actually wanted one of these. Good review!

Seeing you describe that full tang, went and bought one after that...will be gentle with the Firestarter though. Nice video 👍

Great Video on the hawk. Thanks for taking the time to do it.. Keep em coming

Thanks Ron - will do.

Nice option, excellent review and comparison Al

I've had one of these for a few years now, it replaced my daily hip knife easily and does perform ok as a hatchet. This kind of tool was definitely intended for a certain type of approach to tasks. There's a spectrum of accuracy, consistency and leverage depending on your needs. This can definitely be classed as a multi tool. My spark rod hasn't broken yet but after this video I will be a little less aggressive with it. I found the cord handle a bit too slippery at first but after accidentally getting my bow string wax on there it ended up working great. The little ring that holds on to the end of the spark rod definitely made an occasional noise so a bit of cord tied through it fixed that easily. To me this is a great tool that I always carry outdoors instead of a knife, it's more like a really powerful pocket knife.

Solid review. this helps me with my decision of purchasing one.

Very nice little hawk.

Looks like a great Hawk

They are ,I had one before it got stolen,we'll balanced for throwing, but take out the fire steel before you throw it, otherwise it'll break due to the shock, full tang handle

This little hawk is a beast though guys, loved mine

+CMLL “Mistico” Luchador Thanks!

how is there steel from the blade running the length down to the bottom of the handle when there is firesteel in the base? that's a pretty large amount of real estate that firesteel cavity resides in... soooo ? I know u can SEE it, but that would b an incredibly thin bit of steel between the wall of the firesteel and the edge of the handle.

They should make the bigger size firesteel for the hawk. I wouldn't worry about it too much only as a last resort fire steel.

Solid review Tim, as always! Just wondering how the handle screws held up after use? Didn't come loose at all? I've never really been a fan of SOG tomahawks, because of the construction! (not full tang) however this hawk, could be the turning point for me! It reminds me of the Voodoo hawk! The cutting edge at least.... Thanks for shearing with us all. 👍👍

Kenny Wheelus My only complain in the field with this was that for a beginner this hatchet is gonna want to spin in your hand with how narrow it s

This looks like a great hawk. I'm sure you are trying to figure out how one would get off the paracord in an emergency if you didn't have a knife, but I wouldn't ever use your teeth, if you break a tooth you could open yourself up for an infection and big issues. Atb, Dawn

I love this tomahawk a lot. But my firesteel broke as well and pretty quick.

the hawk's firesteele may have broke on his but damn that looks like one hell of a tomahawk in my opinion, especially with that full tank design, lightweight and innovates a dedicated area for the fire Steele to be striked and securely and efficiently stored, along with the convenience of a paracord handle, possible useful pry tip haha honestly have no clue what it's for though and the rough Hammer edge-like design in the center of the hatchet end for collecting tinder

@canderoussnurd4265

If you’re still interested. You sharpen the blade with a sharpening stone or a typical knife sharpening tool. It you want to adjust the grind use a belt grinder but be super careful with that. Since it’s a tool for chopping you don’t have to be as precise as you would with a knife but it doesn’t hurt to go over your blade with a smoothing tool to buff out the uneven spots along the edge and give it more uniformity. Keep her oiled and she’ll work for you till your dying day. She’s not exactly a Cold Steel or a Kabar but she’ll do her job well as long as you don’t use her for stupid things like trying to chop bricks with it. (No seriously I’ve seen people do that and I can’t figure out why because at no point would the though occur to me to use a hatchet to chop bricks as that is what a rock hammer is for.). Hope that helped for what it’s worth 6 years later.

How much did it cost?

Isn't that groove in spike for striking the Ferro rod? Looks like it to me

Yep

I tend to regard all things SOG with a tinge of suspicion. I've seen them put out some real junk. Their stuff tends to look cool and be reasonably priced, but poor quality when compared to competitors. Having the fire steel break on the first day of use is not something easily excused in my book.

Anyone have an opinion on this vs a Hults Bruk

wish they would have made the handle longer would have given the head more speed and leverage to make up for the light weight. lover the head design. wish they also would have made the same design in just a head then you could replace the handle in the field should it break .....much more flexable.

When I was a boy scout, many boys had their father's Vietnam hawks. Shipped with ammo crates according to legend, troops kept them. Mostly tools and prized cqb tools. They were dull and weak at the handle junction. These were made to address those defects. Having tried to chop firewood in winter many times with the original, my opinion only, these get there. Me? Like wood handles and the CRKT Woods Chogan. Like this hawk and grateful for the review as this isn't what we are looking for. I'll get a scaxe5 for now, for a low maintenance utility hawk. Great review, we may get one for a companion hawk so to speak. For now, we want the heavier sk5 with the nail puller handle. This hawk is cool for stainless though.

time to carry a multi tool bubba for the 550.

only difference one is for camping so I like you choose to talk about that

I'm sure somebody in here can explain.Whats the difference between a hatchet and a tomahawk?

+Johnny Jaruwan (Double J) Hatchets are usually smaller in length and for smaller camp tasks in general. Tomahawks were originally used a weapons and then also as tools. Usually a shorter blade on a hawk vs. an axe.

hatchet handles come up from the bottom and have to be wedged. Tomahawk come down from the top of the head and are an interference fit.
