- This is a long term review of the Excellent H and B Forge medium camp hawk. I show the versatility of a tomahawk, and what a hawk has to endure to earn a spot in my pack. I make no bones about it, there are better tools for some of the jobs this hawk performs in this video, but few can accomplish the variety of tasks this simple tool can ( tomahawks in general) . If your looking for a light weight jack of all trades tool that is hand made with excellent craftsmanship H and B forge is definitely worth considering !

I was a little rushed towards the end, as my camera battery was dying so I felt a little tight on time and did not get the ending quite how I wanted it. Hopefully it still conveys how I feel about the hawk, even if i did butcher it with editing LOL.
In this video I tried to keep a comment in mind I had run across on a forum a few weeks ago, Im paraphrasing here but it went something along the lines of ;
"a tomahawk is not as useful as a knife and not as good at chopping or splitting as an axe making it useless for bushcraft " and " therefore it must stay at home most the time".
I also read another good one along the lines of " people who buy tomahawks only buy into them because of the fighting aspect of them and it makes them feel cool"
Well I am not claiming its the best bushcraft tool out there ...... but I hope the video shows that the tomahawk can be a very effective tool in certain circumstances.

This is an excellent representation of our hawks. Thank you so much! They are extremely versatile as you have very aptly demonstrated. I will add a couple of things. The polls ARE hardened now and can be used for pounding in tent and trapping stakes, etc. We did not used to harden the poll, so the one you are using in this video may not have been since you've had it for 3 years.
There have been a variety of comments on the price. Let me just say that they are entirely hand made by my son, Jarrod, using only the best grade of high carbon steel. Nothing is made outside of the US. Amish craftsmen make our leather sheaths and turn our standard handles. And we have been making them since 1965. They are guaranteed for life and when you have been in business that long that is saying a lot. Buying American from a company that stands 100% behind their product is-to most people-worth paying a bit more. You will not be disappointed.
+mary barber , Thank you! and thank you to everyone at H & B. This is one of my favorite cutting tools I own! I am also very excited to see axes added to your line up! Thanks for the update on the hammer poll, I have made an annotation in the video. It was my pleasure to try and showcase the ability of this fine tool, I have no doubt it will last my lifetime!
Hello, I am extremely interested in a couple of these poll hawks for my son and I for bushcraft. Just a question about the small camp hawk version: Does it have a smaller head or a thinner handle or both? Any info would be appreciated.
+tgillies101 I believe the SMALL hawk has a 3/4 pound head and uses there small ( thinner) handle . The medium hawk has a 1 lb head and uses there large hawk handle. Best bet would be to contact them directly www.hbforge.com/contactinfo.php or call them with the number listed on the site page I linked . hope this helps !!
I dont think your axes or hawks are expensive. I think they are on par with their quality. I have a small camp axe and a medium camp hawk and both are amazing. A hand forged hawk of this quality is a bargain at that price. Anyone who comments on the price must not be much of a collector or very familiar with the price of hand forged tools. They ought to check out the prices of some of the other options out there.....
For that excellent demo of the product , i think the new and improved hawk is validated , to be posted free of charge to the man !
Traded for an H + B about 35 years ago. Still use it. Has done a multitude of chopping, dug fire pits and has been thrown a lot. You will not be disappointed! Best Tomahawk on the market, bar None! Have even used it for scraping hides when I used to do brain tanning and rawhide work!
Hello Buddy, may I ask if you used it for skinning too ? (a Hunter asking Here) :)
Lex, yes in the past I have used it to help skin deer or cattle. Also used it like an daze. Traditional tomahawk with the tapered eye and hickory handle can be knocked loose and re-oriented and lashed to a hand.e and used like an daze, like a carpenter's tool. Also can be used without the handle , like an you that Eskimos use. Dance Canterbury at Wilderness Outfitters, Patfinder School gives a good discussion on tradition tomahawk and why he prefers them for camping/survival situations.
Like an adze and an ulu.
@@frankrichardson9878 Thank you for answering Frank :)
yes, i do imagine that once one has built up skill, being able to knock loose the hawk head can make it a quite useful multi tool indeed. I will have to try and find some videos to learn from however, as hawks are not that common to see over here in Europe, and i dont really know anyone who regularly carries and uses one.
Once again thank you for the useful reply :)
You are welcome Lex. Glad I was able to share my experience. Hope you get one to try out.
I am part of H&B forge because it is a family business and this show great representation of our products
Austin Barcroft can you guys make Scandinavian beard axe
I am sold
This is probably the very best product review/demonstration video I've seen, not only was it a great review of the H&B 'hawk, I learned so much about bushcraft skills from watching. Thank you!
I have an H and B tomahawk I traded for around 1972 from a reenactor. Used it for camping at Friendship and other events. Simply the best! Authentic and useful! Will go to my children when I'm gone! There are some other decent hawks, but H and B set the standard long ago! Only ones I would buy! I'm going to introduce my grandchildren to my hawks when they get a little older so we will have fun throwing, camping,etc!
GREAT VIDEO, Dude! Your Bushcraft expertise in showing the "versatility" of the tool is truly admirable!... I recently ordered the H and B small camp hawk myself - just for a really handy, excellent quality, lightweight tool to slip into my belt (I intend to replace the handle with fancy stained curly maple). Of course, for larger woodworking lobs, I use a good axe (or Sthil chainsaw ;-). IMHO, "matching the right tool to the right job" is just the common-sense thing to do... but, a traditional "tomahawk style" camp hawk is a really SATISFYING tool to use - perhaps because the "simple efficiency" of it just somehow seems to resonate in our DNA on a very primal level?
Thank you for the kind words, I agree 100% on having the right tool for the job when efficiency of work is the goal. I also agree there is something mesmerizing about using simple tools, something in knowing that with time and patience there is not much a person cannot do.
Impressive hawk skills. A few things there I never thought of trying. Thanks for this!
Excellent demo of the tool and of your woodscraft skills. H&B deserves kudos, too. I was looking for a light hawk of good quality, so when I saw that H&B would be at the living history gathering in Kalamazoo recently I had my brother go and check them out in person (he lives near by) since he is a blade guy. He called me (the joys of cell phones) from the booth to say the H&B wares were head and shoulders above any of the other hawks other vendors were showing. So I had him pick me up one of the small camp hawks, as I want to put together a "light" bushcraft kit. On receiving it, can't be happier. Well worth the price for a well- made in the USA tool, the hammer forging marks give it character, the blade came sharp and with a few strokes on a ceramic rod it was up to the paper test. The small camp ax head is listed as 3/4 pound and 1 lb total with 15" handle. Definitely has the mass in the head, so even at this size it has a good momentum on the swing. Looking forward to getting into the woods with it.
Not only an excellent review but a thorough and complete use of the tool. Very impressive and helpful!
I bought the large camp axe from H&B a couple years ago and I absolutely love it. Takes and holds a great edge. And will take any abuse you give it. I went with the large to extend its functional 'season' as I live in wisconsin, and I don't know anyone who goes into the woods in winter with anything less than a 3/4 or full sized axe. The large camp axe allows me to use it until about december when I need to break out my axe till spring.
I'm impressed with your hawk skills! Learned a lot just watching you work. Thanks for the great vid.
This is how video reviews should be done. Good display of skills and what this hawk can do, btw.
I've had mine for a decade and love it
Really practical an Awesome demo . Unlike other vids you have demonstrated a hawk after 3 years of use ..... Brilliant !!!
I have an H&B Ship Builder's Hawk. (The last two photos on the product page are mine in my hand actually.)
Love the care and craftswork they put into their tools and the affordable price for handcraft quality, family owned, American made.
I have been looking at the medium camp hawk for a while as well, but fell in love with my BK-9 which fills the gaps well for similar tasks. Thank you for the excellent video. I'm now subscribed.
I love your tomahawk in field use videos, ZEUKI. You have got a great personality and I appreciate your opinions and thoughts. Take care!
This hawk has a perfict balance.I was able to get it hair shaving sharp in 10 minutes. Very sturdy piece perfect size for packing. I used to pack kukri but this hawk gives you more options.
It is definitely one of my favorite pieces of gear!
@@Scablands_Scavenger which hawk would you recommend primarily for solo use to process relatively small sticks and branches made of hard dry dead knotty wood? for instance which weight, steel and edge geometry on the hawk?
I like the idea of the cold steel pipe hawk based on your demonstrations for its performance to weight ratio and that the hammer side is fully functional as a hammer, but it will take skilled effort to get it up to a standard to work properly (fitting head etc)
Not sure if if it is heavy enough for old hard dead wood though? Whatever I get it needs to never chip out!
Thanks for any suggestions
@@impermanenthuman8427 I will try and answer, keep in mind this is just my opinion and worth what you paid for it. Also In the area I live we do not have much hard wood, mostly ponderosa pine, other conifers, aspen and some brush wood that is smaller and somewhat hard such as hawthorn and alder. For the type of work you describe most hawks would probably work fine as long as you do not put a fine edge on them or expect axe like performance. The heavier the hawk the better it will split, no getting around that. A wide bit also helps CRKT, H&B. For my own preference I typically do not carry a hawk over 18-20 ounces. There is a point in weight (IMO) where the hawk loses its lightweight advantage and the slim handle becomes a liability vs an axe of equal weight. A hawk handle can break if the head becomes stuck in a large piece of wood. This happens easier with a large heavy head 24oz plus. I normally run a convex edge, just personal preference and has its pro/cons. The pipe hawk is a good general purpose hawk, it will need fitting as you mentioned, (to be honest I have re ground and re-fit almost every hawk I own- from Cold Steel to the $$customs). It also has a relatively small head/handle contact area which can mean faster handle wear. I have noticed the CS stuff seems a little harder and can chip rather than roll if too thinly sharpened. This is not a big issue with a less aggressive edge. What I have learned owning what I do is that I can take just about any one of them out and use it effectively, they all have strengths and weaknesses.
@@Scablands_Scavenger thanks for the good detailed answer, appreciate it!
After seeing your review of the hawks made by walkbyfaith777 I will probably go with one of those, although I don’t remember seeing anything about the hammer side of their hawks being hardened for use as a hammer on nails etc? If they their hammers sides are hardened for hammering nails then definitely walkbyfaith hawks will be my choice, if not then their hawks that have an ‘adze’ blade on the back instead of a hammer may be very handy for digging for uses that a trowl would normally be needed
Although those CS pipe hawks really do look amazing once they have been polished and blued and the shafts have been stained and darkened, but at the end of the day walkbyfaith hawk blades are probably the best I am ever going to find based on your review 😁
Some very creative usage here especially using the hawk to brace the wood while you saw your the first person I’ve ever seen do that.
Probably one of the best reviews I've seen of this hawk. loved it man. I bought one a year ago and couldn't be happier. Would love to see that other axe in action!
+Granolees Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it !..... as far as a video on the Franciscan, its on the short list :)
Great video thanks. I have the medium camp pole axe and love it. Just ordered the large pole axe to go along withe my medium axe. Plus I did order the fancy leather sheaths for them. Going to make more handles for them and start throwing them as I now own a draw knife and can make extra handles for when I brake them throwing. Highly recommend this company and all their products.
Love this video brother! Still getting great use out of my kydex sheaths you made me too! For all the hell I’ve put them through they were made absolutely phenomenal!! Thanks again brother
Glad to hear it!
I have a large and a medium camp hawk axe and love both. I also have a couple Philippine bolos made from leave springs which are good for the type of jungle brush here. The bolos have wooden sheaths because leather is supposedly prone to rotting but I've not yet seen that problem. I took a piece of 2x4 lumber and split it after cutting it to about 4 or so inches long then carved out the inside for the profile of hawk then glued back together. It allows the hawk to sit into it from the top and could not be any more instant access. It is simple enough to not raise any eyebrows but besides around the house and property I will take with our 8 year old triplets and 2 german shepherd dogs on local walks for protection. The poll can be used to "tap" the stray dogs if they try to attack either the kids or our dogs and there are lots not on leashes here. It is ideal self defense and I believe pairs well with a bolo or a combination of small in the left hand and large in the right. And....bonus it is a sharp and handy axe :) I love them both. Thanks h&b. I am getting ready to buy another large camp axe. Maybe mount one on the wall next to a kerosene lantern :)
This is actually my favorite hawk. Now with that said, I've been throwing my H&B Shawnee hawk for over twenty-five years. However, when I saw that this medium hawk was being offered, I thought it might be lighter to carry in the field, and also easier to teach my kids how to throw without handing them a "mouse hawk". Well, needless to say, the afternoon it arrived, my 13 yr old daughter fell in love with it and "decided" that it was hers. But I wasn't going to make it that easy... If my kids want something, they need to "earn it". So I decided that she needed to sink twenty in a row if she was to claim my new hawk as her own... Needless to say, she accepted the challenge and even though it started to rain a little, by dinner time, I had no choice but to order myself another hawk. After that, I would take her to the local rendezvous. But with no bad habits, she kept consistent, threw for fun, and let the other folks get frustrated. And though she has no interest anymore, I still have her tomahawk resting on my nightstand.
Great story! Hopefully a lifelong memory she will reflect on later in life!
Great video, thank you...a fine tool and some very nice woodcraft!! Been thinking about getting one of these for a while, hemming and hawing on the dedicated thrower or this type, the larger size or this one. I think you sold me..all the best!
Zeuk... If you started a bushcraft or survival channel, Im sure youd get a lot more people checking your videos out. No question. Think about it! Youve definitely got skills.
Richard Thorne from South Africa 🇿🇦 EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT review my brother your bushcraft skills + expertise r 2nd 2 none what a bushcraft + survival tool this is I truly did learn a lot from your outstanding review 4 the past 3 months I've been in 2 minds yes no yes no should I shouldn't I because our RAND is so weak compared 2 the DOLLAR but since I watched the WHOLE review I'm going 2 get it put myself in a little debt but I truly deserve 1 GOD bless u family friends and even your enemies my brother once again thanks 4 the thourgh review u must b a scout master or bushcraft tracking and survival instructor EXCELLENT skills my brother GOD BLESS 👍 👍 👍
Nice video, honest guy, well done sir!
I love your creativity with this thing!!! So many different uses.
I thought I wanted the larger one. But after watching this, I may just get the med. Thank you,great video
Very good review, incorporating all the uses a good hawk has. Thanks.
Best feature of a tomahawk I’ve ever seen as was stated below excellent knowledge and usage thanks bud
Great vid. Thank you for the info. The ship builders axe looks like the one for me.
Checked out their site, they're pretty cheap for forged axes!!! Might well be worth investing in some. Thanks for sharing!!!
+trollforge Yeah buddy , in this day of boutique gear I think they are still a real value, not cheap but for actual hammer forged I think there very well priced. I see Grandfors Bruks small forest axes going for 200-300 bucks and shake my head, even the cheaper ( condor, plumb, marbles etc) axes have gone up in price lately. Seems they are quite the rage now days LOL.
Great video mate. Man keep these kind of videos coming, the content is this video was excellent. Well done. Watched many of your videos and finally xubscribed after watching this one. Thumbs up bro.
great hawks had one for yrs, it's been threw hell and back. to all them saying on high end price wise.. well u get what u pay for . they should prolly stick with cold steel
I never cared for Cold Steel much. Their penchant for the tacticool over function is a major turn off for me. And they have their hands in a lot of other markets besides tomahawks. But the only area where they actually put forth a respectable product is in their knives. I won't ever buy or carry one but I will recognize that their knives compare favorably with everything else that's out there.
Please make a video about the hb fancisca hawk. Thank you
Nice Hawk.
I'll have to check H&B Forged out. See their designs.
Thanks for showing us the second one too, it does look cool.
I checked H&B Forge out.
Wow. On the high side of price. But they have a few interesting designs i liked.
H&B Viking Hawk ?? 8" Blade ? Wow. Nice indeed.
H&B Medieval Spike Hawk/axe. Basicly the cs Norse Hawk with a cool arrowhead spike on the back. Sweet.
Thanks for recommending H&B Forge.
+Brian Mccann LOL sticker shock for sure compared to CS stuff LOL. I have to admit mine were both gifts and were bought a year apart, not something I would be able to impulse buy ha ha, thanks for the comments bud !
Awesome video - Searching for a camp hawk to take on backpacking trips and camping.. I think I found the one.
I have two of thier axes...love it...best all around tool.
That looks like a awesome tomahawk :)
Thanks - Martin
You've got the skills, sir!
Thanks for sharing. - Davi
great video man. I can see you have alot of skill with a hawk.
Such a great demonstration of the capabilities of this, really helps me make a decision. I'm wondering whether it's on the edge for you in terms of size, if it were any smaller, like their boy hawks or small camp hawks, would you struggle to do any of the tasks you did in this video?
Thank you, Yes I think any smaller (for my preferences) would not be as useful. You could probably still do some of the smaller camp craft stuff, cutting, scraping etc. but at 12.7oz this is definitely on the small side for chopping, or processing firewood of any real size.
@@Scablands_Scavenger Thanks dude, would you say the medium is somewhat comparative in size to the frontier hawk from CS?
@@davef5916 Pretty close, Frontier weighs about 11oz has longer but thinner bit, no hammer. HB is shorter bit and thicker profile, has hammer. They have about the same cutting edge at 3.4 inches or so.
Great video!!!! This must be a slightly older version though. It doesn't have the other second edge on it.
Great video!!! I'm buying one for sure
Great video! You present your opinions in a very clear and open minded way. I like your reviews. People say that a tomahawk is inferior to an axe for wood processing yet a lot of the bushcraft community believes that you should be able to split wood with your knife by batoning. There is no consistency to those two points of view. A hawk is the compromise between a large knife and an axe in my eyes. I just can't decide if I want the small camp hawk or the medium. I feel like I have large enough knives that the small hawk would be redundant. Is the medium camp hawk as small as you would go or do you think that the small camp hawk is still a serviceable tool. I have large knives that weigh around a pound already. Thanks and keep up the good work!
And now Cold Steel had the Hudson Bay hawk which is darn near a direct copy from what I have seen without having either in hand.....yet....
Two completely different animals. Both good in their own ways...but very different.
@@Scablands_Scavenger I get that, different steel, different forging method, different price point and definitely different country of origin. However, they are very similar looking and maybe in functionality. Personally I just love tomahawks! Even the Pakistan made pipe hawk that I recently acquired and so far it really isn't so bad although I am pretty sure it is stainless steel.
Great video, Thank you. I will look for more of you on RUclips. Refreshingly about the tool and the skills not all about you. I was between a small axe and this hawk and your video settled it. Could you show the sheath off a little. Maybe H&B could make something similar.? Maybe you would?
I have this same hawk but I could've swore the poll was hardened. I've hit metal with it and it hasn't even began to even marr the surface.
Caleb Whittington they started hardening the polls back in 2016 I believe their older models had un hardened poles
Your videos have always been good, but this one is great.
Well I'm partial to friction fit AKA slip fit hafting design.
Hey man, I absolutely love this video! Really appreciate all of the in depth detail, as I have been thinking of picking one of these up for my future campouts. so far the axe that I have right now is missing half a handle, so Im looking to upgrade. My question is, would you reccomend the medium or small camp hawk for long campouts where im moving around alot? Thanks!!!!!
I would definitely go with the medium, it is very portable anything smaller I feel would really struggle to chop or cut with any real efficiency. Thanks for the comments and hope this helps !
Hello! It's a great video!
I think you can help me, because you have tested so many tomahawks.
I want to buy a hawk for survival/combat. The three options are the trail hawk, the frontier hawk and the pipe hawk.
Trail hawk is good because it’s light and it has a hammer poll but it doesn't have a beard.
Frontier is good because it’s light and it has a nice beard, but it doesn’t have a hammer poll.
Pipe is good because it has the hammer poll and the beard, but it's heavy a bit.
What do you think, what should I choose?
A very tough choice. You pointed out all of the major differences of the hawks your choosing from... I would say because you want a combat/survival then I would go with the trail hawk, because it is lighter and faster in the hand than the pipe hawk, the pipe hawk is great for camping and woodsmanship and would work in a fighting role but is a little slow and heavy one handed compared to the trail hawk. The frontier is a great tool VERY light weight to pack but for survival I will always go with the hammer option ( thinking especially of the urban survival uses as well) . This is all just my opinion of course but I hope it helps you make a decision !!
Thank you for your really fast answer!
Great video, thanks! I was all set to buy a CRKT Chogan when I read your comments about the H&B Forge hawks. Now my only question is whether I want the medium or large camp hawk or the GOShawk.
If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up purchasing? I too was thinking of buying the CRKT Chogan Woods tomahawk and having my husband modify it to resemble the H&B Goshawk... but then again I'm thinking of skipping all that and just buying the H&B Forge GOShawk.
I teach Bushcraft and woodsman skills. I trying to find a good economic Hawk for me and my students. I can no find a vid on the large one. Has anyone have the larger one for comparison..
I do not have any personal use with the large camp hawk, the weight puts it in the same class as a pack axe so that may have something to do with the lack of popularity. As a side note the size and weight is very similar to the CRKT Woods Chogan or the Cold Steel Rifleman hawk ( weight 1.5lb head, and blade/cutting length 4"). It may be worth the time to explore the less expensive options available to see what size weight is best suited to the tasks you have in mind before commissioning an H&B in either size, both will have their advantages and limitations.
Do you think if you was just gunna buy 1 would you get that medium camp ax or the Shawnee tomahawk? With throwing as its primary purpose but if need be do things like in your vid.
I don't have any experience with the Shawnee Hawk so cant compare the two really. If your main use will be throwing though that may be the one to get as it is more tailored for that use, without the hammer poll the balance may feel better than a camp hawk for throwing. Sorry I can't be much more help!
How long take for weak long to to fad of non existent foot v too to effect
Awsome video!
Learnd alot of new things I will try with my hawk. And great info on the camp hawk.
Have you ever tried the french trade axe from GB's historical series??
Great demonstration. I have one but learned just how versatile it is.. Where did you get the sheath that you had on it?
hanging the pot was weird.why such elaborate hanger?
Well done! Thank you for sharing!
How would this compare to an esee junglas II?
Sorry I do not own the Junglas for comparison.
Great demo. Thank you
bravo sir
where'd you get that cool sheath with the fire starter in the leather?
I looked for your brand but, couldn't find it bought one off ebay but the eye in the head was so off it wouldn't fir the handle???
OL I see yours in your description but, $70 for something a Estwing will do? I understand it's not a tomahawk.
Hopefully you can return the item if it is defective. Generally a gamble buying off of ebay unless it is a known seller with good reputation.
I really cannot comment on what an item is worth to you. Everyone will have a differing point of view, especially when it comes to value and worth. Many other aspects are this way, clothing, cars, houses, food. If an Estwing accomplishes the tasks you need to accomplish then it sounds like you need not buy a tomahawk...unless you just want one.
You sir are awesome. Thanks for the great video!
Did you just change your channel name? For a minute there I thought someone had ripped off your content! I would have let you know, of course. 😊
Ha ha, yeah I did change it a few days ago !
which is more useful the h&b or the traillhawk? in you opinion?
They are both useful. It depends on what you are using them for, really. The trail hawk is cheaper and lighter has a smaller blade and is generally a smaller head profile... a minimalist tool lets say. The H&B is more of an old school hand forged work of art. Its heavier, chops a little better, splits slightly better, made by a craftsman, used by a woodsman who appreciates such things etc... nothing wrong with either one, they both cut wood. Having said this I would not trade my H&B for 10 trail hawks, not because it is better, but because I just like it that much..... it was not mass produced and stamped out by a nameless worker, but because it was hammed into shape and forged by a single man and shipped to me... and now I use it with that knowledge strange I suppose but there you have it.
guess i just prefer flexability in anything i use and i have seen trail hawks used in place of 5/6 different tools and still do a pretty fair job of getting the work done.
Say Heah, Looking Good, Nice Throws, I always wanted a Tomahawk, So I got one, I got a 2Hawks Warbeast Tomahawk, Oh, and a Double Bit Hatchet, Thanx You. ,, .
What sheath is that? I like how it has the ferro rod holder.
Thank you it is a home made sheath.
Excellent Review!!!
are you still on the original handle
I didn't know this company existed. Prices look reasonable compared to the 2hawks version. I have the Cold Steel Hawks that work fine, but I would love to move up into a tool like this one. Thanks for posting the video. I searched Amazon and didn't see these so i assume you have to buy direct from the company?
Ordering from them is the best option, every once in a while I see a few on Amazon but not very often and generally just one or two in stock. When you order from H&B you will have more options such as handle length and whether or not you want the handle press fit onto the head ( more permanent ) or left off for you to fit to your liking ( my preferred option as I remove the head often). Thanks for checking out the video !
Thanks! Are you going to be doing a GOShawk review soon? :-) This looks very interesting. Would love to see a comparison video between the various hawks you have.
Yes... I am way behind on my hawk/axe vids. This is a great tool, and I need to get this video done as well as a few others. Just had too many other life things going on to make it happen..... very soon though I feel the need for a cup of tea and a good fire.
Great skills!
Right now I'm on a Cold Steel budget. Looks great, though.
... Me too. And loving my Cs tomahawks. Norse Hawk & Pipe Hawk.
+John Ratko Nothing wrong with that !! I really enjoy my CS hawks still, they are great tools no question !! Not to mention if I give one a dirt nap I dont feel like crying.... Im not a big " head to head shootout " type of guy but I do know for certain a cold steel will do every task in this video near as makes no difference !
... Yep. The cs tomahawks are great quality imho. I may need to strip, stain, sharpen them myself. But the steel is great.
What size is this handle?
I believe this one was the factory 19" handle.
Very Cool skill and product demonstration, if i could give your video 2 likes, i would!
I must try and get one the next Time I'm states bound.
Salutations from Europe!
Claus
Nice
👍
Is the hammer poll hardened?
According to H&B Yes The newer hawks have hardened polls.
Excellent! Thank you for doing this video. The majority of the others truly aren't worth watching.
Hi there! How long is that handle
This hawk came with a 19 inch handle I do believe.
ZEUKI1 Thanks for your reply! I've never see someone use an axe like you do very professional!
Check out this Bushcraft Axes, [F_09] you might love it! www.bucavasgyuro.net/products_F.html
Nice.
nice tomahawk,,,where can i buy it? i am from germany...
This tomahawk is made by H&B Forge, as far as I know it is not regularly available anywhere else. You can contact them at www.hbforge.com . or phone them with the telephone number listed. Thanks for watching !
ok,thanks bro...
Awesome, zombie Apocalypse Weapons 👍
Tomahawks aren't good tools? Someone tell the French, you can get them in any hardware store in Normandy, up to 6lb monsters with 36in handles for felling.
so, you becoming a Mohawk?
