Wranglerstar could I send you a knife that doesn't want to sharpen. that you could make a video about. and I'll send a package inside that you could mail it back. I just don't have the tools that I can sharpen it with. the steel is to hard for what I have.
@@amusinglizard2785 I don't really see a reason to forbid that tbh. It would be just as ridiculous as making regular darts illegal. Funny American law makers.
For someone who hasn't handled a Tomahawk, you look like an expert. I really like the whole concept of taking a cheap tool and doing some slight modifications to turn it into something highly useful.
seeing the huge popularity of machetes in camping and survival outlets, I'd like to see a side by side by side comparison field test of the tomahawk, machete, and small ax for common survival and camping tasks.
Having used a plethora of tools, I can say that a machete excels at what it was designed for, which is clearing jungle. If you're in Northern Ontario, its utility is greatly reduced, and a good axe and a heavy knife like a rat3 is what you want.
Each has their merits, but as a hunting guide and outdoorsman in the Rockies since I was 17 I fully believe the tomahawk is the best "all around" out of all of them and though I would rather have a good selection of all of those tools, if I could only choose one (which I do when I bug out) it would most definitely be a solid traditional tomahawk, most preferably one with a hammer head on the rear. With a tomahawk you can process enough firewood to keep yourself warm, shave down kindling, and pop the head off to use as a very comfortable hand knife. All the deer and elk that I gut skin and process in a year are done with a tomahawk. I pop the head down and use the stubby blade to gut, can place it back on and chop off the legs, then remove it once again and use as a very agile skinning/scraping tool, and put it back on the handle to cut up wood for that nights fire. Not to mention, if you break a handle you can construct a new one with just the head easily and if worse comes to worse they are a VERY formidable fighting tool to the extent some special forces groups both during the Vietnam war and even now still use them.
That's one reason, though it's not as easy as anyone who hasn't done it thinks it is. The other reason it's considered a great survival tool is that a good, well designed hawk is also an excellent Ulu style knife when you remove the handle. In a r eal survival situation, you'll probably be injured. Maybe severely, and one of the more common injuries is a broken arm, or a badly cut or broken hand. Knives get very difficult to use when you have only one available hand. Especially if the injured hand is your strong hand. But you can use a saw with one hand, you can chop with a hawk with one hand, and you can use the hawk head as an Ulu style knife with one hand easier than you can use a belt knife with one hand. There is no such thing as a one tool option, but if there were, that tool would not be a knife, it would be a tomahawk.
anyone with enough money can pay the big bucks but for the average joe it's not cost effective. so discovering little jems like these is wonderful. with a bit of work it's functional and it's very affordable. unless you're one of the few that starts a fire with a 100 bill..
Thank you for this video. Seeing you throw the tomahawk with your son has inspired me to purchase a pair of these and try this with my son. It is such a joy to see you teaching your son in your videos. You have such a calm respect for him in your method.
He should try a cheap hunting bow, vs an expensive mini one like the liberty one or a slingbow for confort and power... survival bows do suck really heavily on everything more than, with luck, a pigeon
cody, it is always wonderful to hear your perspective and your honest two cents about these tools that are within reach of the common man at the beginning level. not all of us on here have a lifetime collection of heirloom tools but we want to get started using tools more often and it is great to hear from someone who has such an eye for quality and can tell when a tool is worth its salt. please continue the amazon series!
Notice the "or so we're told" at the end of that though. I think that's more of a dig at the people who would represent Native Americans as violent savages. The man loves axes and recognizes a good tool for what it really is. He was definitely being sarcastic.
This might sound strange but your comment about skipping these vids because we might not care for this type of video got me thinking...I have come to the conclusion that it isn't necessarily the content that makes me want to watch your videos, I find that keeping up on you and your family and what your currently doing is what draws me to watch and 99% of the time I watch the entire video. So please keep up doing what your doing because I am positive I am not the only person who enjoys the variety of your videos. Take care and God Bless!
The change of pace is marked by your enthusiasm... Nice to see the enjoyment Cody. And thanks for all the effort spent teaching resourcefulness to the somewhat resource-less.
Same here, keep it up! The nevative Nancys are gonna find some reason to cry anyhow; seeing you sharpen a hundred different knives, axes and tools a hundred times gives folks that want to learn a better chance of having that "Ah HA!" moment, plus the sound is oddly therapeutic :)
The testing stuff from Amazon series is great. The viewer gets a perspective of a certain item that he can't get on Amazon's web site. The activity with the Tomahawk looks like a lot of fun. It is great watching your reaction to "discovering" new things.
To be fair it is marketed as a Tomahawk for throwing. It's going to be abused and handles will break on them more often than an axe used for chopping wood everyday. That's why, although a perfectly shaped/fitted handle would be nice, it's just not needed. The edge doesn't need to be shaving sharp either as at some point that edge will meet the dirt after bouncing off a target. For throwing purposes anyways. How about throwing some double bit axes on this channel?
This Amazon series is just fun. Of course it's not the meat and potatoes of your channel, but I think it's a rather fun way of reviewing these things and getting new content out.
I love the Amazon tests, keep up the great content! A few suggestions... first aid kit, machete, water filter, survival bow or gun, saw, bracelet, throwing knife, etc!
the Amazon videos are my favorite. you give an honest opinion and state it as it is, good options for people who don't want to spend a lot of money on things.
Just wanted to say love your channel, when you started speaking of all the health and safety people taking away the darts and making you use the tomahawk. That made me laugh for a couple of minutes.
I enjoy this series but the criticism I have is that with the axes at least, you're altering the items so I'm not sure how accurate of a review it can be but I do also appreciate that you're showing that with a little work even some of these cheap items can be worthwhile. I look forward to future installments, keep up the good work.
This video didn't even show up in my subs list never mind getting a notification. I was browsing the home tab when I saw this available. So many bugs with RUclips lately, it really is getting annoying.
flip flops offer no protection, thats mostly why people dislike them i know i myself would prefer to not have my feet bitten/cut by anything as it would then be annoying to walk
I came here for the homesteading workshop projects and such, and I have no problem at all with these videos. I enjoy your opinion and personality and dont mind a bit of variety at all. And if these get you some more views, and that means you can stay on youtube comfortably then by all means make them for as long as you want :)
Please don't stop doing these, this is my favourite series you have done. Cheap chisels! Paul Sellers did a great one on the ALDI chisels, would be awesome to see the same here. I enjoy the ones where you 'fix it up' the most - so the axes have been great.
You mean people who make youtube videos to make money actually want to make money? Screw 'em build your brand. Axe handles, tools, sharpeners, or knives what ever it might be as long as it is quality keep "selling out" build your brand and ensure you can continue having fun making videos with out fear of time vs. money.
I bought the Russian knife sharpener all thanks to you Cody and I couldn't be more happy with it. It started out as a hobby, sharpening my own knives, but the word quickly spread from friends and co-workers that i am now comfortable charging money for my knife sharpening. So I hope you don't take those comments about you being a "sellout" to heart because I would never have bought it if it wasn't for your video. Best regards from Sweden!
The majority of inexpensive (as in under 100-150 dollars) hand forged axes or tomahawks aren't entirely hand forged. Most are made of billets bought by the company that are almost entirely shaped. They usually use hammers to finish the edge and fix where the power hammers fault. This makes it less expensive for them but they still get the label. You get what you pay for when buying hand forged tools, stay informed guys it helps. Please note: hammer forged or this way of hand forging is still has a good result with enough skill and good metal
Yard darts was one of my favorite toys when I was a kid.....Leave it to the govt to take away fun things because of the slightest possibility of someone getting hurt.
Chris Bruinsma They were banned after several deaths, as they were popular at family outings where kids were wandering around. A bad throw may cause one to go in the wrong direction and hit a group of people.
Several deaths? I think not. There may have been an injury or two that started the "safety" nazi's to pee their pants and eventually cause the demise, but no deaths.
Love that your Tomahawk info comes from 1950's cowboy movies. The Tomahawk was brought over by European settlers. It was one of the few tools that were freely traded between settlers/frontiersmen and native tribes.
Cody I love the amazon series that you are doing. I would also love another restoration series. The tiniest axe brought me to the channel and I think a restoration of another plane would be great. Thanks for all your doing and keep it up.
I recently picked up the CRKT Trailhawk off of Amazon for around $20 I think. It was a little rough around the edges like this one, but once I cleaned it up with a file and gave it a nice edge it works great! I use it primarily when I'm doing trail maintenance on my section of the Mason Dixon , and it's a great little hawk for that kind of light clearing stuff like you mentioned. Great vid Cody.
scalping is done with a knife ! lol killing with a tomahawk , and generally a larger one than this mouse hawk , this would have a womans or a boys tool .
One of my grandfathers carried one on his trap line. He knocked the handle out whenever he stowed it so it would fit in the hatch in the back of his snowmobile. He also often used just the head as a hand axe shaping pegs for trap sets.
My internet provider gives us a data limit of 18 GBs a month with speeds less than 10Mbs and once I use that 18 Gigs then they slow it down even more. Right now if I do anything higher than 144p then it takes a long time to load. I wish I had a landline lol I miss unlimited 76Mbs.
I appreciate your breaking away from some of the everyday routines and doing some lighter videos. It's nice to see that there is something other than hard work in your life. Its a blessing to just have fun evaluating different items. Keep up the good work Cody.
He meant because tribes from all over the world may have used them. He's not knowledgeable on the subject so he corrected himself from just native Americans to all native peoples
Well, steel hawks with detachable handles are a white eyes tool, not a native tool anywhere. During the early Indian wars, the white fighters would sometimes carry a dozen hawks and launch them in volleys against the enemy. I suspect Native American got a lot of their steel hawks by picking up the several hundred that missed their marks.. @@Edward-Not-Elric
That appears to be what's called a mouse hawk. There is a larger version. It was carried by the early Mountain men, as both a weapon and a tool. Up until the settlers, the native American used stone tomahawks. The early Buckskinners would carry them in their belts, along with their knives. The handle was designed as you originally purchased it so that modifications could be made, but also to keep the head from leaving the handle. I hope this helps.
Hey Cody, I really enjoy using a machete for taking off some of those small limbs. Have you used a machete before? Maybe you could find one for an upcoming video.
I live in Canada and hunt. A light tomahawk as a forest tool and perhaps sometimes protection, is a superb companion to a lightweight shotgun. And the hawk is always stuck in my belt for handy usage opposite a 4-5 inch belt knife.
I know I'm late here, but the US Army was given a Direct Order to NOT ENGAGE in close combat with the Indians, because of their will, and primative tools.
You know the Tomahawk was used mostly by eastern tribes (Before the U.S. had an Army as we know it). It was brought over by European settlers. Not to say they didn't have devastating close quarter weapons, more than likely it wasn't a Tomahawk.

Throw tomahawk since the safety people took away the lawn darts. Hahaha. Classic Wranglerstar humor.

It would be just as ridiculous as making regular darts illegal.
Funny American law makers.

@@QoraxAudio they were hurting people sometimes killing or almost killing people because of the large sharp weighted tip
*never thrown a tomahawk and sticks 6 in a row, wranglerstar is a natural woodsman
Teddy Donna or he has thrown a tomahawk
Mr Panda I doubt he would lie but I have seen him throw many axes which would help
His American Indian blood ran strong in that moment
Amazing!!
I use the handles as rabbit sticks for small game instead of throwing with the head on it myself.
This guy single handedly has the power to raise the price of the cheapest products on Amazon.
That’s nothing…LPL pretty much controls an entire industry.
Yeah, thats no lie. I jus bought one. 40$! Jeesh lol. Not quite double.
Now it’s 133$…
No joke.

Mark Allen yes
Mark Allen the whole ax/hatchet vs machete debate is completely dependant on the area you plan on being, as well as the do i need a saw/what kind
Tomahawks are considered a top notch survival tool because of it being easier to replace the handle in the field than an axe
Yeah but just saying the handle doesnt make it a tomahawk
That's one reason, though it's not as easy as anyone who hasn't done it thinks it is. The other reason it's considered a great survival tool is that a good, well designed hawk is also an excellent Ulu style knife when you remove the handle.

There is no such thing as a one tool option, but if there were, that tool would not be a knife, it would be a tomahawk.
I have no idea at all what that means? @@Scorcher19
The handle can double as a splint too. Side note, any axe can run a tomahawk style handle... Just a matter of how you want it to perform.

Your video emptied Amazon of this product in one day. If that doesn't speak to the popularity of your opinion I don't know what does.
Another 30 of this will be available via FBA within the next week. They are already at amazon warehouses but just haven't been checked in yet.
I used to have this exact same hawk until my car got stolen. Got the car back, lost my tomahawk and my old camping gear that was my grandpas :(

"I've never thrown a tomahawk" Then he sticks six in a row. If I'd thrown it I would have broken the handle.
Jared Black ehhh you just gotta know the weight
I would have missed the tree!! lol
Jared Black he does a little "selling" in these videos
Jared Black I would have broken my wrist dude 😂
Jared Black maybe he practiced without telling
It’s supposed to “rub” the handle that’s how the head stays on! You now don’t have enough material above the head. As the head flies off the handle.

Flip flops would be more traditional for tomahawk throwing.
These videos are awesome, I've wanted to get into bushcraft for a while and it helps guys like me on a budget and desperately need tools to start
I love the Amazon tests, keep up the great content! A few suggestions... first aid kit, machete, water filter, survival bow or gun, saw, bracelet, throwing knife, etc!

Paul Copeland Its an old youtube meme. "Potato quality" is a term used to describe a low resolution video or image.

Flip flops? I think it's time for Jack to get a set of wooden clogs.
look again
What's with the stupid flip flops hate? They're comfy and look totally fine.
flip flops offer no protection, thats mostly why people dislike them
i know i myself would prefer to not have my feet bitten/cut by anything as it would then be annoying to walk
+Confinium They offer protection to the soles, which is were you would get injured 99% of the time if you didn't wear anything on your feet.
Only while walking, running will simply lead to most sandals falling off and they don't absorb shock very well.
That baffling sensation when you go to like a video only to notice you've done so already. Keep up the amazing work. Favorite channel on RUclips.

scalping is done with a knife ! lol killing with a tomahawk , and generally a larger one than this mouse hawk , this would have a womans or a boys tool .
One of my grandfathers carried one on his trap line. He knocked the handle out whenever he stowed it so it would fit in the hatch in the back of his snowmobile. He also often used just the head as a hand axe shaping pegs for trap sets.
“I’ve never thrown a tomahawk before” as he throws 6 quality 1 spin throws.
I really love these kind of Videos where you buy something cheap and put some work on it to make it better. reaaaally like these vids. Please more!

potatoe
Im watching in 144p. My internet provider sucks.
Max ShadowWolf you can choose a higher quality, you know? 480p is the 720p of the qualities under 720p
My internet provider gives us a data limit of 18 GBs a month with speeds less than 10Mbs and once I use that 18 Gigs then they slow it down even more. Right now if I do anything higher than 144p then it takes a long time to load. I wish I had a landline lol I miss unlimited 76Mbs.

I really do like this series and the woodworking stuff too!
How about a cheapest machete? I like these videos!
I appreciate your breaking away from some of the everyday routines and doing some lighter videos. It's nice to see that there is something other than hard work in your life.
Its a blessing to just have fun evaluating different items. Keep up the good work Cody.
Thank you....
Im native American and Tribal people had me dieing 😂😂😂 the world is so pc now😂😂😂
Hayden Ring what tribe bro
HC 03 american
He meant because tribes from all over the world may have used them. He's not knowledgeable on the subject so he corrected himself from just native Americans to all native peoples
Well, steel hawks with detachable handles are a white eyes tool, not a native tool anywhere. During the early Indian wars, the white fighters would sometimes carry a dozen hawks and launch them in volleys against the enemy. I suspect Native American got a lot of their steel hawks by picking up the several hundred that missed their marks.. @@Edward-Not-Elric
They came here with the English. It was their weapon.
That appears to be what's called a mouse hawk. There is a larger version. It was carried by the early Mountain men, as both a weapon and a tool. Up until the settlers, the native American used stone tomahawks. The early Buckskinners would carry them in their belts, along with their knives. The handle was designed as you originally purchased it so that modifications could be made, but also to keep the head from leaving the handle. I hope this helps.
Hey Cody, I really enjoy using a machete for taking off some of those small limbs. Have you used a machete before? Maybe you could find one for an upcoming video.
I just ordered one
Awesome! Wil be looking forward to seeing it in the near future :)
David C he hated it 😂 because he's totally biased towards them
I enjoy these Amazon videos, favorite series from this channel actually. Continue with the videos!
2:32 when your secretly depressed.....
I live in Canada and hunt. A light tomahawk as a forest tool and perhaps sometimes protection, is a superb companion to a lightweight shotgun.
And the hawk is always stuck in my belt for handy usage opposite a 4-5 inch belt knife.
YES I LOVE YOUR CHEAPEST VIDEOS
YA!! ME TO!!!!!!!!!!!
This has to be one of my favourite series on RUclips
You should do a cheapest kukri machete
yeah like the CS Kukri or the SOGfari or the the Gerber kukri
I'm a huge fan of the amazon series. Love the way you make adjustments as well to improve them like sharpening, etc.
SUPER
Honestly love this series, definitely need to see it live on!
The music is AC/DC😂
Yes, however the music that Cody used is a cover/parody of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck.
Your Amazon videos stretch the best amongst the wide audience. I like it best.
I know I'm late here, but the US Army was given a Direct Order to NOT ENGAGE in close combat with the Indians, because of their will, and primative tools.
You know the Tomahawk was used mostly by eastern tribes (Before the U.S. had an Army as we know it). It was brought over by European settlers. Not to say they didn't have devastating close quarter weapons, more than likely it wasn't a Tomahawk.
@@neodecker no metallurgy in the Americas till Europeans came. Would have been bone, stone, wood, and leather.
Your comment about the lawn darts was hilarious. Great video, thanks for making it!
