Why I love/hate the Cold Steel TrailHawk... Tomahawk Review and Test - $30 Tomahawk

This is funny it’s a $30 tomahawk if you want perfect then buy a expensive one. It seems neither one realizes a little sanding will fix the handle. Plus a new handle is like $10. Personally I love my tomahawks

What in the world is this guy going on about the head??? Everyone knows at this point with CS hawk heads is you throw away the set screw and file the top inside edges of the eye to round off the sharp edge. This provides a proper friction fit that is solid, doesn't move, and doesn't ruin the handle. C'mon, guys.... 🤦‍♂️

I've got no trouble with the idea of throwing a hawk ... but as I don't buy hawks for throwing it is far from a deal-breaker for me. But I still prefer axes ... my favourite being the GB Wildlife hatchet, that thing rocks both around the house and on hikes. I also like the GB Small (formerly Mini) hatchet, it's probably my most-carried hiking hatchet. And Fiskars X21 for larger splitting. Have a nice day guys! :)

Hello ...I use this one since severals years in my buschcraft.....and it's better than an axe and less heavy and we can repare in wood if broken.....I enjoy it , little in back faljraven.....sorry of my english......ciao of France.....as knife i have Master hunter san mai coldsteel and a marrvelus Tops brother fieldcraft......good day.

Ive had the same trailhawk with the same handle for 20 years. Throw that garbage set screw away. You can use a piece of inner tube or a ranger band slipped up under the head to secure it for a couple pennies.

Thats a nice shirt you got there Jacob! Loved the throwing competition 😅

I took my setscrew out. I got a piece of a leather shoe lace and stuck it in. They had it before I pounded it down so I close the gap a little and I took a piece of rubber tubing and rolled it up as like a collar underneath so if it does come loose The tubing catches it and you don’t lose the little piece of leather

YOOOO! That fort is what's up!! Very badass

The guy in the black shirt is the type of dude who returns a knife to the manufacturer because it got dull or has rust on the blade. Don't be like that guy. Learn how to mod and tend to your tools MEN.

Tomahawks are for making fires and killing enemies nothing else lol

the two person setup of your channel has so much potential

Black shirt thinks tomahawks are for throwing...no...they are for a tool for survival and doing bushcraft work. They are also a personal defense tool. If you want something to throw, buy something made for throwing.

So one guys a cup half full kind of guy and the others a cup half empty. 😂 I’d rather be stuck with the first guy in the woods.

I’m sorry but I couldn’t watch the throwing section of this video for more than a few seconds. I’ve been collecting and using (that includes throwing) tomahawks since 1987. Hawk throwing is my yoga. The CS Trail Hawk is a great little tool that serves its purpose very well. It’s not made to chop down trees. But it makes stakes for beaver traps, and pounds them in most excellently. It’s also a force multiplier if the Blackfeet jump you.

Had same prob w the set screw wish i would have drilled hole in handle sooner so screw got better purchase

The cold steel hudson bay tomahawk is awesome , seems better than the trail hawk

Learn to fit your tomahawk handle. Toss the worthless set screw.

Yeah Isaac doesn’t know what he’s talking about. As others have stated, if you want something better than that spend more than $50 at the most. If you want a thrower you need to pin it and wedge the top of the handle. You made yourself sound ignorant and as someone else said you’re the guy that buys a new knife because it got dull. Maybe learn some masculine survival skills like sharpening an edge and modifying things. Even when you buy one that is $150 plus from a reputable smith, you will always find something that you don’t like about it and need to modify unless you were there for each step of the process of making it which is not feasible. J is legit and did what needed to be done to make it what he wanted and learned from it. Be like J, not Isaac.

This, is, a, Tomahawk!🙄
