Your cart is empty.Almost every tomahawk you can buy on the market today can trace its roots back to the Hudson Bay Axe used for centuries in the vast forests and swamps of North East Canada. Famous for its versatility and effectiveness, the Hudson Bay Axe became indispensable for anyone trying to wrest a living out of the wilderness. We too are also great admirers of this famous axe pattern, so we decided (like so many before us), to re-scale it down into tomahawk format. Drop forged out of 1055 Carbon Steel, like all of our hawks, it offers a 3 ½” long cutting edge in the classic shape as well as a substantial “poll” that can be used for pounding, crushing, and hammering. You can even drive nails and spikes with it as it too, like the blade, is differentially hardened. Supplied with a tough, straight grain American Hickory handle, it’s ready for a life in the woods and in a pinch will also double as a frighteningly effective weapon.

I have a few Cold Steel items. They always came sharp and ready to use,. NOT true with this item. It is blunt. Not even butterknife sharp. It is blunt like a couple of grinding steps got skipped. The head is not fixed to the handle at all. There is a set screw that is supposed to secure an axe head? I think that I will be returning it because I really want something functional as purchased.For the price, assuming the metal is OK quality, this is a kit item. It is absolutely NOT ready to use except maybe as a hammer. If you whack wood with the edge, it mashes it, not cut.Bottom line, it's cheap. If you want a kit 80% ready this is a good value. If you want ready to use, look elsewhere.

Bought this for two reasons...and I'm happy with the product and price. Bought another one for a gift a while back. I bought it to bury in the back yard of my ex in a ...well, ah...hatchet burying ceremony! 28 yrs married 22 years divorced: a perfect 50 years!I do plan to sneak around and dig it up afterwards as it is good to lay by the fireplace for making kindling in the winter. It's 112 degrees hear today so I'm guessing that's a while off!

I need shelter. My woodlot looks like a bunch of round 4 x 4's to skinny 6 x 6's. A new 'heavy eye' sledge hammer handle has dimensions same as Cold Steel Hawk Lineup. Bought a "second", less expensive and this was just a try. Heavy eye stick fits perfect on hammer side, needs a little rasp work on blade side to fit, easy. Drop sapling, hew one side, from there measure and cut to make simple post and beam building. This light head on the long stick gives a lot of easily controlled power. Follows the line well, no fear of the pry sideways thing with that much stick through the eye. I liked it so much I got another and put it on old sledge handle, like it a little better than my carpenter hatchet. Photo 1 shows all tools used installing C.S. Hudson Bay head on heavy eye Beaver Tooth #2 stick, wood pieces cutoffs from top of stick, green extra coarse file for centering edge and cutting initial bevel, red mill file for sharpening. L: 33 3/4 inch, W: 2 lb. 8 oz. Photo 2 shows end of stick in head. Photo 3 shows my 1991 C.S. Trail Hawk with hammer end fully cut off sporting its first replacement stick after 33 years of hard use. (Stick trimmed to 16 in. after photo, finished W: 16.1 oz.) The carpenter hatchet I am comparing everything to mounted, a dozen years ago, on old broken sledge handle. L: 14 1/2 in. W: 1 lb. 14.6 oz. New C.S. Hudson Bay Hawk mounted on another broken sledge handle. L: 17 1/2 in. W: 1 lb. 11.6 oz. Last is my Marbles 'Pocket Chopper' mounted on this (the 4th) handle in 1991 when it was replaced with the above Trail Hawk. L: 11 1/2 in. W: 14.4 oz.

Very nice tomahawk! nice strait grain handle and the hawk with the poll (for driving tent stakes) is perfect.The edge came with a protector but needs further sharpening(to be expected). I will be removing the hex screw and welding the hole closed as I don't want the function of being able to remove the head. I will permanently mount the head with a wooden and steel wedge and epoxy! For $30 this is an absolute steel! BUY IT!

Seems like a decent product so far, I was just a little surprised that the sticker on one side says American Tomahawk Company and the sticker on the other side says Made in Taiwan. As long as it lasts I guess it’s better than made in China.

The product i got came covered in rust, blunt as all hell, and had a broken handle.I was expecting to do some finishing work not a complet refurbishment.However once I finished my 15 hours of labor and had some fun. It turns out that the steel hold up fairly well.

Along with the axe, I received 15 small packing boxes. What do I do with them? Do you want them returned? I am very puzzled, do you know something I don't know? Am I moving and haven't been told yet?

I recieved my old squeal hawk without much disappointment . of course I wasn't expecting all that much to begin with. Old squeal has a reputation for taking great designs and poorly executing them using the cheapest materials they can get away with.I was looking for a little hatchet to use when trapping. Something smaller than my eastwing for trimming back a little brush and driving a stake when need be. The Hudson Bay version looked like it would be the hawk of choice.Squeal has a company in Taiwan make these under the name American tomahawk company.IT IS NOT THE AMERICAN TOMAHAWK COMPANY OF VIETNAM FAME. Squeal stole their name. It came woefully dull with a grind that looked more at home on a chisel than an axe After correcting that and throwing the idiotic set screw away, i removed the sharp edge on the inside of the head .Properly shaped the handle and after soaking it in diesel for a couple of days reinstalled it. After using it for a couple of hours I shortened the handle 3 inches and resharpened it..After two days of cleaning up shooting lanes. I have formed an opinion of this product.Head is good shape for my purposes, steel is mediocre temper non-existent. Plan on resharponing frequentlyOk squeal needs to ship without head attached to handle and save a couple of bucks by not drilling tapping leave the set screw in Taiwan axes haven't needed them for thousands of years and don't need them now. The notorious black paint hides the forging scale. It sticks in wood. Uneeded.I ordered a crkt version as well which is a more user ready tool and seems to hold a better edge.In short ol squeal makes.a fine toy for throwing at trees and playing dress up .I may temper the head later and see if I can get it to hold an edge

I expected an item from Cold Steel as it is advertised as and priced in line with Cold Steel. Its not really the American Tomahawk company either..if you explore further into the pictures. What you get is basically unusable, from its wobbly fit, terrible finish and lack of factory edge this item is essentially useless as a working tool and way too ugly to be a wall-hanger. You would be better off buying a 20$ Canadian tire hatchet from China at least you could use that for something. This isn't a 'get what you pay for' complaint, you can buy a quality Cold Steel hawk for 65$..
