Damn if I would have known the POS was going to be worth that,... I'd have never traded mine for a Snach back when.
She did say I was # 1 long time.

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
I had an American Sibert Comanche and it broke!! Under the handle scales, the shaft (if that's what you call it) was skeletonized, and it broke here during a usage impact... striking wood.
Been using my backup SOG tomahawk since, it's made in Taiwan but has some type of fiberglass handle that's more similar to those on hammers and such. I've come to the conclusion that the handle's toughness is more important than the blade's toughness... if the blade fails, the failure seems to be something that can be straightened out with a grinding stone.
I understand some guy on YouTube has a video of his Sibert Comanche breaking in the same exact place mine did, and American Tomahawk replaced it free.
I just wish it were easier to carry a hawk concealed like a pocket knife!

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
I got an American. They pressed the head on crooked, and the sheath is a real loose fit. I would never buy another one. I think their quality control sucks. I understand they are mass producing these things, but can't they check them over before they ship them?

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
Why carry it if you do not know how to use it?
Same with a good knife.
There is no magic in the weapon or martial science without being proficient with it.
BTW- that takes time and dedication.

RSilvers
id you make it out of properly dried wood? Wood to be used for grips, stocks and furniture needs to be air dried for about 7 to 9 years ( In Kentucky/ other places may be different depending upon weather)without exposure to sunlight and it must be able to have air move thru the building and or storage container...Wood has to stabilize before it is used. You can speed this process up by kiln drying or buying predried wood that is ready for shaping..If this was already done then it may be due to the type of screw used and or the chamfer / bevel that was used for the screw hole... just some ideas, if this was all done correctly then we need to know more info.....SmokeRolls

I am with Fast Eddie. I worked with 5th Group as a Marine in '73' and then was with SF from 76 to 86 and I never saw an SF Battle AX. Wonder if it was carried by the same guy who carried all of that other SSSFS (Sure as Shit SF Stuff)
Most guys carried Randalls, Gerber BMF's, Kabar's or some type of Bowie. This Hi-Tech stuff came along quite a bit after that, but I never saw an SF Battle Ax.
Heck I would carry a roofing ax from Sears before I would carry one of those things, course, I am old and booring

The best weapon in the world is but a paper weight in the hands of the untrained...
We carried our E-tools in the Ranger Battalion back in the day. I carried that practice onto my detachments in 5th SFG and while the fellas initially laughed, they were always wanting to borrow it for something. if you want to talk about a universal tool, the E-tool is it. You can cook, kill, sit and carry with it. BTW, I forgot to mention, for 4 years, I was married to an SF battle Ax. Hi jack complete.

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
The effectiveness of the E-tool, small shovel, as a weapon cannot be disputed.
Most notablby by Russian SPETSNAZ.
Back to the hawks, there were U.S. units in WWII that were known for using hawks.
Some of this legend / legacy probably carried over to Vietnam and is still lingering.
The thing is that the guy's from WWII were native Americans that
grew up learning a lot of the tradition that was a part of their heritage.
In other words they knew how to use them, not only as an offensive weapon, but as a defensive weapon as well.
They did not just go up to a wall locker full of edged weapons and pick a hawk to carry.
I will look through my small collection for a reference document to share.

i know that cold steel makes one, it comes with a molle sheath that goes on your vest, some units standard issue them. its the link between your foot and a breaching shotgun for some doors it has a blade and a hammer end

The use of an etool as a weapon predates Spetsnaz. Retired Marine Major General Ray L. Smith has the nickname "E-tool" dating from a fight in Vietnam where he used one very effectively. In fact, the General's consulting business is <span style="font-style: italic">E-Tool Enterprises</span>.

http://www.spetsnaz-gru.com/spetsnaz-entrenching-shovel-1.htm
The Russians were known for training with their entrenching tools as an improvised weapon along with tent poles.
I am sure men have recognized the utility of a shovel to kill another man since it's invention, as well as other common tools.

Interesting Points. I knew several guys that carried the Buck stainless steel camp ax, but more for field craft than warfare
My Google Fu turned up this article on a commercial site for Hawks. It discusses a "ceremony" between the 19TH SFG and an Native American Tribe. Tactical Tomahawks
Let's not forget about our own [5th SFG(A)] Major Bob Howard's ability to wield the E-tool.

What were you intending on using in a Hand to hand confrotation if you needed an edged weapon that gave you an advantage over using say a knife?
Whatever it is you need to train with it and not expect magic from it just because it is a proven or intimidating piece.
It takes training which takes commitment, but if you have a job that put's you in real situations in which it could prevent you from taking a dirt nap it is worth it.
And if nothing else you might impress a chick or two with your abilities.

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
As a matter of choice between the Spade and the Tomahawk, I would like to see a design that used a smaller Spade blade, with side edges and mass optimized to permit use as a hand axe/Tomahawk as well; best of both worlds. The older style folding E Tool arrangement with the pick mattock attachment, useable aligned both parallel and perpedicular to the handle, would be a useful addition.

Arch is right, I have got to try out one of these, and good luck on trying to break it, but you would have to be trained on how to use it, or you could wind up with a new name like stumpy, very lethal and sharp

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
A sharp fixed blade is better for scalping. The tomahawk can be used to break a bone, cleave the skull, establish deep puncture wounds and the like. If you throw, you had better be good and carry another blade. One could also pry off the quarterpanel of a car that took your spot (or has a bumper sticker disagreeable to you)revove door handles from doors, flatten scurrying mice, dig holes, open beer bottles, cut off the heads of chickens and raccoons, demolish most of the inside of a house; seriously, the list is endless. I have broken a number o etools, both old and new, but this tomahawk will be handed down for generations.

Arch,
You make an excellent point on the versatility of a hawk. The second major point is that I too have broken a shitload of E-tools. I would take them back to CIF and the lady there would just laugh. She told me I was the only one that even used this thing. Another consideration is that telltale "PWANG PWANG PWANG" it makes when, uh, well let's just whacking things... with an etool

Re: Spec Forces Tomahawk
Damn!
How do I justify the purchase of a Tomahawk or new/better Kukri?
I need to move to an area where there is a Bando instructor, that would do it.
