I went from browsing $40 full tang tomahawks to hours later landing on this, and damn it's beautiful, and more importantly much more practical than a lot of other tomahawk features. But wow are they being cocky with that pricetag.
this tomahawk is awsome. i think is the coolest thing i have seen. i respect the detail and engineering. however, the price will keep me from owning one. especially when i can buy a granfors bruk maul for $130. gerber is really on a roll, i have many of their knives, and i like their new gdc series
By making this a pry bar they ruined the Axe. The balance of this axe is completely backwards. Just look at it. The axe head is super light and yet the widest part of the steel handle is at the bottom. On top of that look at how you are made to grip this axe. Any good work hammer and your pinky finger is just an inch of the bottom of than handle. With this axe your pinky is 5 inches away from the bottom. You will not get the normal top heavy centrifugal force when you swing this axe because too much weight is concentrated in the handle. But for the record, this all had to be done to make a combo axe & pry bar. And the build quality was excellent. For those who really need both this would be a great buy. But for me, the trade offs were far to great.
Love it, just have concerns about that giant opening in the axe head, for the handle, and how THIN they've left the metal on the head, top and bottom. I'd have serious concerns about swinging that 100%, with the head having such thin structure. Maybe v.2 will have more metal in the head and less of an opening. .
It's a combat breaching tool. Not a bushcraft tomahawk. It's made to Hammer windows, crowbar locks etc and clear some light twines/bush. If need be also to use against a meat sack. This would be a poor choice for setting up a camp and making fire.
It's a breach tool. Not really for the everyday Joe. Unless you plan on breaking into someone's home. I think it's more aimed at the Police force, Army, Marines.
Gerber. How was this hawk made? In a forge or cut out a metal sheet in a top dollar factory? Kind of like how old vehicle parts where mafe bavk in the day im guessing. All that open space in the hawk head is so different than any other ive seen.
Ropes and twine? What about wood? I keel staring at that very thin area under the handle, that looks like a serious weak point. Beef up that ax head and make it actually usable as an ax.
Probly could have used a little better metal for the price... but it deffinatley is an awesome Hawk other than the steel wich isnt a huge problem for civies like me.
I'm sure you could but it's more of a breaching tool cause it's very slim its for small chopping and hacking at a door or something blocking your way.. you would want a wide back and slim edge for a bushcraft type axe

I don't understand why anyone thinks this is overpriced. This thing LITERALLY saved my life in Afghanistan. Worth every single bleeding penny.

@Buck Norris you're kind of an idiot aren't you.
This is a story I’d love to hear
For a small ax 300 is a bit expensive

I'll be buying all the 2013 stuff this September
@Dan Tierney - It looks like a 5.11 Rush 24. I have one in metal black. It's awesome!
if your actually talking urban survival this is what you need
is it not good for camping or chopping wood?
@@Herberthishful no, its designed for military use, like breathing doors and stuff

are those 5.11 bags, vests, and other clothing items?
i need one of these in my life.
What is the knife on your plate carrier? Thanks
Has to be pretty cool , to encompass all those little elements that are attached to it. Lo e it too.
150 bucks tops
How much does it. Cost?
Is that a molle medium backpack?
Ropes and twine? What about wood? I keel staring at that very thin area under the handle, that looks like a serious weak point. Beef up that ax head and make it actually usable as an ax.
+Bennett Pagliarini thats true
Gracias
Sticks and stones flashbacks*bankrupted
how much?
Didn't Berber make the kick axe?
Hatchet Dan! Crackle Crackle
Made in Oregon? Gerber should have made their commercial on the axe during the riots
As it comes out of the box, it's not sharp -- are there any instructions / how-tos on how to sharpen the blade? (if we should at all?)
they purposely made it dull for breaching purposes
@@scottyi88 Thats a theory buddy. There are other tactical tomahawks that are used for breaching too. And its sharp you twit.
i think a claymore is less expensive than this thing
Maximum
Remember when Gerber made Bowie Knives?Pepperidge Farm Remembers..
I handled that hawk at a trade show and the notches in the handle are way too abrasive unless you wear gloves.
This is built for military operators, of course they will be wearing gloves!
algún día....mi sueño
"Probly made in Portland Oregon"
the ding dong lol love the name. gotta get me that man toy .
What is the backpack he used ?
USArmyRangers18 looks like a Multicam issued 3day pack from RFI
That's hot 🔥
Probly could have used a little better metal for the price... but it deffinatley is an awesome Hawk other than the steel wich isnt a huge problem for civies like me.
Nice
Did he say proudly or probably?
420 steel

Excellent against Antifa!!!
Jesse Brignac just throw job applications at them and they will scatter
Baseball Fanatic lol, true 😁

Gerber De Facto

Can I chop wood with this?
I'm sure you could but it's more of a breaching tool cause it's very slim its for small chopping and hacking at a door or something blocking your way.. you would want a wide back and slim edge for a bushcraft type axe
Costs a shit ton and has mediocre steel. No thanks shouldn't be pushing more than a 100 bux.
I want it :D
osprey body armour
Need
Beautiful tomahawk, but unless you plan on attacking someone with it i'm not sure that i see many advantages to it other than the low weight.
its built for breaching purposes
It very expensive !
+Роман Иващенко Dayum $410
+Brian Trang I from Ukraine and 410$ this very expensive !
+Роман Иващенко it is in America too. i wouldnt pay over $60 for a tomahawk
+Noah Koenig Do you want him ?
+Роман Иващенко do i want one?
