If you are looking for a more combat related modern Tomahawk I'd look at this one. I have an Emerson knife and it's the best folder I've ever owned.


The Hunt goes on forever, the season never ends.

I didn't learn this by reading about it or seeing it on TV. I learned it by doing it.

Hey, I always say if you like something buy it. I've been looking for a decent hatchet to chop kindling in the basement but all I see is crap.

To split firewood in the basement I use a splitting hatchet ["fireside friend" ] by Estwing .It's about 25 ozs IIRC ,with a broader angle .Works much better than the narrow angle hewing hatchets.

Collins I have to admit thatit is an interesting tool. Not really a hatcher, not really a knife, not really a hammer, not really good for chopping or for splitting wood for that matter..............


What's it good for??
stir

Sometimes you just have to let art flow over you...

No, really, for very small chopping, kindling and such. and it looks like it'd make an acceptable cleaver. It's a unique cutting tool, do you need other reasons? beer
