As a former Ranger, our history began during the French and Indian wars with British Major Robert Rogers in the mid 1700s. Rogers required tomahawks to be carried by his Rangers (there are original examples in museums). The tomahawk is a very versatile tool, used not only for personal defense and offense, but as a breaching tool and rescue operations (just look at what it can do to an automobile)! No, it is not carried by every operator, but within a unit there will be a few carried, with those from RMJ Tactical being favored.
Never have I seen someone handle these weapons with such cohesion and grace as you. Your skill shows just how formidable these warriors of a bygone era could be. Excellent video! Very informative as well.
in my humble opinion, cold steel tomahawks are equally dangerous for the user as well as for the opponent. they definitely need a lot more practice so that you know at all times and moments where each sharp surface of the tomahawk is during the execution of the movements.
It is true, but it is something you can say about every weapon. If you are not skilled with your weapon, its dangerous for you as well for your opponent.
I’ve had the Cold steel Vietnam Lagana hawk for many years absolutely my favourite ; have had Spydercos szabo hawk as well as RMJ / Emerson’s version of the Vietnam hawk but always went back to Cold steels variant till today.
AMAZING video!!! Was really looking forward to this when you replied to my comment on your previous video. I'm even more enthusiastic about practicing FMA techniques with my Zombie Tools Traumahawk! Thanks a million!... Also, of course, pairing the 'Hawk with my ZT Bowie-modeled knife, The Felon. Very invigorating drill work, indeed!
Extremely interesting, covers more than other martial arts or history channels. The tomahawk usage very impressive, light years away from hammer like clubbing portrayed in old cowboy movies
I bet that you would like the Fokos/Valaska/Sheppards axe too. It's basically a tomahawk head mounted on a walking stick. As a weapon it can keep up with sabres, but it's primarily a tool (besides axe jobs, you can use it in difficult terrain as a crutch, a hook, etc.) Just as you've pointed out in the video, this weapon is highly versatile too and comes in its own weird techniques...
I think you meant to say room "breaching" not "clearing". I don't remember clearing a room with a tomahawk, as cool as it sounds, it just wouldn't be very effective. All joking aside, I do like your take on the modern use of the tomahawk.
I have both... Wish Cold Steel would fit the longer beard blade of the Warhawk to the spike of the Trenchhawk... Still prefers the Warhawk because of the longer bearded blade...
I am wondering if executing reverse strikes (as mentioned around 06:47min) with this kind of tomahawk (its spike seems to be longer than my EDC) is really a "good advice" for internet-warriors?! ;-)
Hi Mathilda, no experience with it. However, I have experience with Cold Steel Warhawks and Trenchhawks. My new episode is an unboxing of the elite special forces Winkler Tomahawk. It premieres tomorrow at 8am. 🙏🏽
knife guys know that the "tang" is quite important to the durability of a weapon, My tomahawk has a full tang to the base. durability is a thing in a survival area. That being said, your gear is dope.
Most powerful knife ever designed? I know that Kukri will hit with more authority... When it comes to versatility, then the Bowie might rule supreme. However, I don't think that there is any perfect combat knife. It simply depends too much on context and personal preferences...
@@RolandoEstocada oohh cool. Rlly wanted to know how the compact looked, mostly in Black Canvas Laminate. Whats the difference beetwen RnD and Compact?

Very good video, i have the cold steel kukri machete and just ordered a tactical tomahawk...thanks for sharing...

The first thing I thought when I saw the cold steel tomahawk was wow that could end up badly for me.
@anthonytokar3961 yes good observation!
Cold steel is a bad brand and I would not use it for much except your son's first hawk.

They’re fantastic
Your skill set is outstanding!! Great vid Thank you so much !
Outstanding introduction to the tomahawk. Looking forward to your next video.

You’re welcome! More to come! Tomahawk is very sophisticated!
Extremely interesting, covers more than other martial arts or history channels. The tomahawk usage very impressive, light years away from hammer like clubbing portrayed in old cowboy movies
Thank you - the system is very simple yet sophisticated. A true warring martial art.

One of my favorite weapons as well.
Man, you have some skils! I wish I could move like that with live blades!
Thank you brother! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽
The Cold Steel Trench hawk. That's what I bought. One for me and one for my wife. The design sold me on them.

I hope you like the video I just released on how to purchase your first Tomahawk! 🙏🏽🔥👊🏽
Awesome presentation, glad I found your channel, sub'd
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I love the tomahawk, it’s a great weapon and an even better tool.

In Jack Carr’s newest book, only the dead. The main character uses a Winkler RND to clear a hallway of three armed men.
Which watch to you wear? nice. Would you go for Winkler or RMJ? which bowie knive in the video?
Hi! Rolex Deepsea. Winkler RnD. In the video - Cold Steel Bowie Knife Trainer. 😎
@@RolandoEstocada thx. nice stuff!
I have both... Wish Cold Steel would fit the longer beard blade of the Warhawk to the spike of the Trenchhawk... Still prefers the Warhawk because of the longer bearded blade...
The Browning Shock & Awe tomahawk is superb...check one out..

Your knowledge in the subject matter is quite extensive. Do you offer any additional training info for the tomahawk?
Hey Matthew, yes I offer in-person and zoom training.
@@RolandoEstocada outstanding! How would I go about contacting you for details?
Useful for slaughtering enemies in blade and sorcery vr, w mans
What do you think about the franziska axe .

That sounds lit
Hello, you missed the throwing use of this weapon :)
Historically it is thrown. Not so much with modern methodologies. 😊
Most powerful knife ever designed?

Clicked this vid just to see the winkler's hehe
I’m getting TWO Winklers this week - RnD and Compact. Video Review/unboxing/technique review, etc to come in the next few weeks!
@@RolandoEstocada oohh cool. Rlly wanted to know how the compact looked, mostly in Black Canvas Laminate. Whats the difference beetwen RnD and Compact?
Be honest... how much furniture have you unintentionally shredded ? ☺️
Honestly none. They’re sharp for sure but I make sure no furniture or kitties are in range. 😊🙏🏽
