Build a Nice Log Cabin Fire. Heck, Build a Nice Log Cabin Home. This two-handed camp axe with a hickory handle, hot forged blade, and hammerhead will make your life easier when you’re off the grid. Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical in Chattanooga, TN designed The Woods Chogan T-Hawk. A specialist in applying modern engineering to centuries old tool and weapon concepts, he is upping the ante once again with a new outdoor line of tomahawks that swing as big as the open wilderness where they’re found. The design for this tomahawk evolved from the popular and original tactical tomahawk series, but it’s built for battle with a few old Doug Firs. The Woods Chogan is made from a solid chunk of 1055 carbon steel that is hot forged into a rock-solid head that features a hammer finish. Primary and secondary edge bevels are flat ground, it cuts through timber like a beaver. A hammerhead is useful for pounding in nails and stakes for the tent you’ll put by your roaring fire. The thick wood handle is made in the USA from Tennessee Hickory. It’s comfortable in hand and sealed with a lacquer coat that adds durability whenever you’re in the backcountry—in other words, all the time. Grab hold of the Woods Chogan T-Hawk and split some wood—like a cord’s worth. NOTE: Leather sheath is available as an after-market add-on. It is not included, but don’t worry, you won’t want to keep this baby wrapped up.

A notch above cold steel I own this and three cold steel tomahawks, including the spike hawk, which this is similar to. This Kangee is pricier but it is worth the extra dough. The handle comes truly finished unlike the handle on the cold steel hawks that come very rough and full of splinters. The head on the kangee has more steel which means better penetration on the strike. You literally need to do nothing to this to put it to work. It does not come super sharp but remember this isnt a knife. It’s a hawk. The only…
As good a tomahawk as you could want. I own a number of tomahawks, mostly for throwing. This one exceeds the rest in terms of quality. The head is expertly forged and, unlike other “hand forged” hawks, is symmetrical and has a uniform eye. It does not require fitting to the handle. The sharpness is quite adequate, unless you want to shave with it (which creates too delicate an edge). It doesn’t come with a CRKT sheath (which is way overpriced); there are others available that are much cheaper. I would suggest buying…
Like the weight Like the weight, balance and portability of this tomahawk. Had to sharpen it, of course, but it bites well now and does what it’s supposed to. I would like some crosshatching on the hammer peen and I would have loved it if it came with a hood, but am happy with it. The head was snug when I got it, but I did strip the handle lacquer and oiled that with linseed. Feels like silk now. Also wrapped the neck and butt ends with leather strap to protect the wood. The wood is beautiful with variations…
