Why did I buy this Tomahawk? I had previously purchaed a SOG machete and was pleased with the quality and performance. But, I needed soemething that was less for bushwhacking and more for hiking and camping. If that's what you are looking for this may be the tool for you.
So far, I have taken it on one weekend camping trip in Virginia and it was great. I used it to chop up some firewood. Some of what I cut were logs about three inches in diameter. It took a few more whacks than a traditional axe, but this Tomahawk cut right through. Trimming branches away from the bigger logs was very easy, it sliced them off with ease.
I also used it for some finer work, nothing highly detailed but I used it to fashion a walking stick. I cut a dried branch to size, trimmed the other branches and little knots away (a lot easier than I would have with a knife) and there I had it, my walking stick for the weekend.
One day, I did a six mile hike along the river with my trusty Tomahawk in its sheath. It was lightweight and easily carried on my belt. That's the best thing, lightweight but heavy enough and it has a very sturdy feel that gives you confidence in it as a tool and if need be a defensive tool.
I really like the way the handle attaches to the head, very well made. No fear of swinging this and cracking the handle where it attaches. Plus, it was sharp right out of the box, maintained its edge through three camp fires and one improvised walking stick. I bragged on it so much that one of the guys that I was camping with without and bought his own.
Yes, it is great, but don't expect it to chop down trees, it has a smaller blade than you would find on an axe, but for chopping smaller logs and clearing brush, this Tomahawk is a winner!

I altered my handle for a better grip. If interested in doing the same, details within my review.. last part of my review.
This first one I received I sent back due to damage. The outer box was fine, the product box however was crushed, the Tomahawk itself appeared fine initially. But when viewed head on, there was a bend to it. The head of it was slightly bent along it's mounting surface to the handle.. Amazon should have noticed/not shipped it that way. But enough about that. The second one delivered was/is fine. It's sharp, came with a nice edge. The protective coating on the blade edge is a bit hard to remove. I suspect it's there to protect the blade from corrosion en route from China, where made. Not a big fan of items like this that are made there. Often times with inferior material & workmanship I have personally found/experienced. However, considering the price, what you get, it's sharp, seems to hold an edge. I think for the money, it's a keeper!I had mine delivered in late Summer, and just had to rush out to the woods to try. I found that after a 20 minutes or so hacking away on an old downed limb; that my hands were pretty sweaty. I would switch hands to get the feel for this new tool. It seemed a bit slippery. The handle that is, despite the serrations in the handle, it was still slippery. I did not have gloves on. I would think they may help IF the proper type. Some gloves may make matters worse. The handle is a somewhat smooth hard plastic.This is what I thought of, here's my tip/suggestion: This only took a trip to the local Home Depot in the plumbing aisle, I had my 12 year old son with me who was curious as to what my idea was. I had the Tomahawk IN A BAG with just the handle exposed. (Didn't want to appear as a Mad Man! I advise you taking the same or similar precaution. However, no need to take it, I will tell you what you need!) I grabbed a set of Rubber O-Rings, Dango Brand #96732 1" O.D. x 3/4" I.D. x 1/8". I placed a side of the O-Ring into a groove to check fit for width, and protrusion. I wanted something that wouldn't move, and that would protrude for a decent hand hold grip. This size seemed perfect. With a little bit of playing with, stretching with my index finger as I went around the handle. I got these to fit onto the handle & into the (13) grooves. When applying, go all the way to the last slot. This way you don't have to try and go over them applying the remaining ones. It took all of about 5 min. max to do, and I now have an awesome non slip grip handle! Gloves or no gloves, sweat, doesn't matter... Just thought I would share! I hope you enjoy this tip! (the O-Rings came 10 in a box, so I purchased (2) boxes $2.27 each x 2, so under $5 for a worthy improvement) I tried to post pics but could not.* Want the matching belt sheath/holster look for your tomahawk: SOG Specialty Knives & Tools HDN-F01 Tactical Tomahawk Molded Hard Nylon Sheath, Black Finish
