It is a total savage that’s for sure!

I would rather have the Estwing because it is smaller, built like a tank and could also be used for breaching. The Recon Hawk on the other hand seems to be better suited for throwing and for being utilized as a war tomahawk splitting skulls and hacking at limbs.

Thank you!🙂

I’ve watched so many of your videos in the past 2 days since finding the channel. I’ve never been a fixed blade guy myself, or a knife thrower by any means. With that being said I’ve got a few on the way now after seeing some reviews and seeing just how fun knife throwing looks. Im definitely glad I found your channel but my wallet is not!!!!🤣

😂😂 thanks bro! I definitely showcase some fun blades haha

The curvature of the cutting edge will always bite more deeply than than an edge with no curvature . The " un- curved " edge scatters the force along a greater distance . The curved edge places the applied force more on a single point of contact. P.S.- A friendly challenge... Who knows the specific steel Estwing uses ?

A very good question. I had it in. Reviewed it but never knew.

Excellent Comparison to Highlight the Strengths and Weaknesses. Since Everyone will have their own Unique Priorities, it's to be able to make an Informed Choice. I would lean towards the Recon Hawk. Good Stuff. Thanks for Another Good One.

I appreciate you watching my friend🙂. The Recon is a beast!

Thanks for the video mate. I still prefer the Estwing as an urban survival tool of multi tasks. Easier to conceal also and as a weapon the narrower edge will penetrate without being stuck in metal sheet or bone, same with the spike (in another video I seen this was the advantage of the traditional vietnam hawk over others with wider and beardead blades). I wonder if as a chopping tool don't acts like the Roselli axe I seen in many videos, wich is a more blunt tool but make huge chips. I can't make much experiments because I live in city and in another country, so don't have a way to compare tools or make tests.

you have a massive point about the Estwing not getting stuck. That’s the one thing about those bearded tomahawks

The estwing, true to it's maker, is the hammer of tomahawks, something the grandkids will discover .. the recon the stiletto of hawks, something the detectives will discover...

Well said 👍

I have all the hawks you showed. 🤘 The Viking style hawk head with the wood handle is the best of these though. Why. Remove the head, and use the head as a Knife for cutting things up. Meat, veggies, whatever. Recon Hawk is great too. But as a fixed headed hawk, it's less adaptable to various tasks.

Very true 👍👍

Breaching tool :) We all know what those two hawks are for :) Enhuming an enemy :) Neither are very useful for hiking or camping. They are "Tactical". But, so are all traditional tomahawks. I have 4 Cold Steel Tomahawks, and one hand made one, I got back in the early 80's, from Dixie Gun Works. And I know how to throw all five. Take it easy and keep em sharp.
