Maybe I'm missing something but the design looks more like a tomahawk than a woodcraft hatchet. The narrow blade width is for cutting into skulls not splitting wood. The hammer side is quite small. The idea being to focus all the energy of the blow into a small area. Almost like the intent was to smash through a helmet or crush somebody's skull. His comments on the handle make me think it was not intended for bush craft. Also the blade gives a tell as the bottom of the axe head is angled off at a 90 degree angle. This is not something you would use in bush craft. But it might serve a purpose if you were coming in between somebody's legs or back of the neck. Now, with all of that said, I'm not sure why the design includes a polished metal. For wood work this would get gummed and covered up in tree sap. For combat, it will shine. something nobody wants who is using the tool. The coating on the handle does give the impression it is intended for easy cleaning. I think this axe was meant more for show than function. And I think the OP just assumed it was meant for bush craft.

That is easily a throwing axe, the bottom seems to be uniform in thickness meaning it would slip out of the hand easily, amazing for throwing but horrible as a tool, also the slim axe head/blade makes it great for penetrating and horrible for chopping. Next up is that forward edge, it comes to a point at the top that is yet again amazing for penetrating when thrown. And lastly that thickness of the handle makes it hard to get a straight grip on, that’s because you use a more open almost knife hand hold on a throwing axe with the palm not fully touching the handle so it can slide better. Everything about that axe screams throwing axe and noting about it resembles a tool at all.

In my own post, that was my final note on the subject of this being more designed as a weapon, than a tool. Your points on it being a throwing axe are very sound. The angle of the blade is more suitable to throwing, rather than jabbing as a melee weapon. You wouldn't need all that forward lean to make a sharp tip on the toe. Simply arching the brow upward would like many axes already do, accomplish that.

@southernknight9983

Жыл бұрын

@DidntITellu What you call a 'hammer' is the pole and is used as a counter balance for the longer, sharpened blade end of the axe. Most poles are not meant to be used as a hammer, though more modern models are hardened for such use. If you are unsure, you need to contact the manufacturer before using the back end as a hammer or you may ruin the eye and the head may come loose. On this little tomahawk, it seems designed more for looks than actual use. There is no reason to design the pole with such obvious weak points, if anything but for looks.

@greyfells2829

In my experience, throwing axes work better without a pole, the hammer part behind the blade. Unfortunately most first-time buyers tend to get ones with poles.

"Its bearded profile, raised toe, and slightly canted edge angle provide a long working edge that is ideal for both chopping and detailed cutting chores. A hammer poll excels at tasks that require focused impact instead of a sharp edge and helps create an exceptional balance that maximizes the tool’s power." spyderco says its a tool

Considering they literally state that it's modeled after combat axes, I feel that spyderco made the mistake of thinking "an axe is an axe" and didn't take into account the design of those similar axes have no real utility value. It'd be like trying to perform surgery with a dagger, hell, a small shard of glass could be used a surgical tool if applied in that way, sure, in a completely technical way it is possible, that doesn't mean it will do it well, nor that it should be considered over another alternative, considering it's form isn't lending any favors to that function.

I have used athletic ankle tape for an anchor at the end of the handle. And yes, that is a fighting edge on that hatchet. Look at just about any american double bit axe and you'll see a nice curved edge. There is a certain amount of slide / sawing once the head hits the wood so it's not a sudden complete stop. I made the same handle mistake on a home depot purchase. It was a long handle double bit axe made out of some kind of plastic. In contrast to your handle being a sudden burst of pain and then it stops, this plastic handle was more like a looney toons cartoon where the shockwave goes from the axe head, gradually to your arms and then feet and then back to the axe again. It is rugged, but as soon as I crack it, I'm replacing it with a wood handle. Conveniently I seem to use the short handled double bit brush axe so I don't have to deal with the plastic handle. I should just replace it and be done with the plastic handle.

That is true. Tennis grips are made to absorb the vibrations of hitting a ball and depending on the type you get offer great grip even to sweaty hands are offers a comfortable one at that.

Yes, it’s certainly not really designed to be a great tool. They mention the Francesca, which was a throwing axe used by the Franks as a weapon until the 7th century. The Tomahawk is of course also a weapon and the bearded axe also, thus it’s really not designed to be a tool for chopping wood. „Designed by German outdoor enthusiast and historian Martin Genzow, the Genzow HatchetHawk is a versatile, high-performance utility tomahawk that integrates the best features of the traditional Francesca Frankish axe, the classic bearded axe, and the tomahawk and expresses them with a dynamic fusion of old-school craftsmanship and state-of-the-art materials and engineering.“

Actually, German engineering is know for over-complicating things in the process of designing something to prevent the dumbest possible user breaking something or doing something unforeseen. If you want simplicity and sturdiness, then you will be good with classical socialist production. The lack of resources from outside was the fuel for long lasting, easy to repair and simplistic engineering. For that check out some DDR (GDR) or Soviet product designs, while not fashionable it had its pros. Even today many eastern Germans (rightly) remember that DDR (GDR) production was in many ways ahead of its time.

To be more specific, the angled blade would be better for puncturing armor and drawing material into the cut when striking an opponent, and the hammer looks very simmilar to something you would find on a warhammer or halberd. The thinness of the blade would also be good there to keep it agile when fighting. All in all the head isn't really a bad design, just not practical for what you want a hatchet to be.

Roofing hammers usually have a straight wide wood handle, and often a leather strap on end (you lose friends quick if your grip slips and your axe goes sliding off the roof toward your buddies on the ground) The axe head is generally more wedge shaped on the vertical profile for sliding the axe under shingles and lifting. They have nail puller grooves on the bottom edge and a larger, textured hammer head for driving wide headed roofing nails in straight and not slipping on the strike. The edge is not pitched forward to a point and is usually fairly dull compared to a chopping axe so they can cut the shingle but not dig deeply into the ply wood underneath. Not sure what this axe would be good for honestly, but I would hard pass on this for roofing.

That is not a tool, that is a weapon. That leading point, which makes it terrible for bush work, makes it perfect for a thrown weapon. The belly is straight (ish) again, bad for cutting, great for throwing. The cheeks are also hollow growned for penetration at the cost of splitting. Throwing axes can have much narrower, smaller handles because you do not hammer-hand grip them, it is more like a pointed grip. As an axe, I'd say your review is spot on, but it was really designed for only one purpose, throwing, with the second being tacked on because it is still technically an "axe". That being said, if the primary function of your $300 weapon is to be thrown... I think somebody missed a memo somewhere XD

Kris Gustafson, sounds like my hair after not showering for a few days.🤣

I bought an axe with an aluminum handle and had to wrap 550 paracord around the handle to make it useful enough to process wood. Each strike reverberated up into my arm and into my hands as well. The axe was wrapped or enclosed with a rubber grip but it was still hard to maintain a "safe" grip causing me to adjust my hand with each strike to a log. The paracord wrap made a significant difference and wearing a pair of leather gloves helped with the grip. As you know paracord is rather smooth when first used but friction causes that slick feel to diminish after constant use. The axe was useful enough for several camp outs but eventually I relented and spent money on a decent axe with a hickory handle.
