CRKTWoods Nobo Tomahawk Axe: RMJ T-Hawk Lightweight Outdoor Camping Axe, Forged Carbon Steel Blade and Hickory Wooden Handle 2732

The media could not be loaded. Holy crap these throw like a dream!! I don’t throw indoors as I think it’s way to close and not that challenging. I throw outside from 7.5 and 12 yards both with size axe. These will not break on you unless you really suck. They are plenty sharp hold a great edge as I throw into a old tree with a dirt stop. You could do whatever with this axe! Chop wood? sure very well! Throw at a target? Perfectly weighted and tested by me! I attribute the low throw to holding the camera in other hand. Enjoy

I'm thrilled over the quality.

* Worried the handle will break? Mine didn't and I put it through the wringer on a backpacking trip. Cut down dead and living 8" inch in diameter trees and made it earn its keep with the fire wood.* Afraid its too heavy? Its not. its actually surprisingly light in the hand.* Worried about the craftmanship of the handle, yeah do that. I mean its fine, but the oval of the handle is like, cut wrong at the edges. I don't really notice at all unless I look for it. But, who cares that's going to break over time and be replaced anyway.*Worried about the craftmanship of the head? Meh, its fine. Its uniform in shape but its like a B-. But, for the price this thing is a home run. the steel sharpens well enough too. You wont be shaving with it, but its plenty sharp for outdoorsy stuff.*Worried about the taper of the heads edge? You have the wrong product here. Its tapper is middle of the road. Its not supposed to be a throwing axe, or a cut down the redwood forest, either. Its about 20 degree angle.Worried that it might not be made in the usa? Its not. The handle is, so there's something.Got mine for $35 and I think its worth $50 but, if you're going higher you're in made in usa territory (this isnt) so just buy American and have better quality in Axe head so you can have just one hiking axe for ever since the steel will be higher quality, toughness, keep its edge longer, wear away less quickly while sharpening. all that.

I am happy with it considering the price I paid and have only played with it a day. I will update my review once I have taken it out and used it some. My intended use for this hawk is extremely multi purpose..... Camping, bushcraft, self defense, throwing, and anything else one would use a tomahawk for. Jack of all trades master of none kinda thing.The most Important thing is that I was worried about is that I would get one with that does not fit the handle well. however the fit on this one was excellent. Handle looks good and the grain looks good, so I am happy with those aspects of it. I will say the handle is a little thicker than expected. Not really good or bad, just surprising.It was not very sharp at all, which was expected and I actually prefer things like this come dull so I can put my own edge on it. In this case however I had to take away a star because the edges where ground off center (see image). Normally that alone would cause me to return it because now I have to put even more work into it fixing that before sharpening. But since I am going to do some other mods anyway, it's not that big of a deal. I would say that if putting your own edge bevel and honing the edge on a cutting tool is not something you have the time or skill for, then pay a little more and get a hawk that has it done correctly out of the box. And either way, you should learn IMHO.Hope someone found this review helpful.

Not sure how they managed to do it, but this type of precision is obtainable by only two people - Dwarven Craftsman, or German Craftsman. The handle is laminated and very nicely stained, giving it a darker look, more durability and reduces hand shock on hard strikes. It's throwable and sticks heavily. The blade is dull but still edged.So far, one of the better hawks I've tried. If every hawk head fit their handle like this one does, we might actually be able to prove dwarves exist.

Ok, I have been an avid buyer of Cold Steels hawks for a while now and I wasn't going to buy another, (collection is amassing u know!) but the Metal Gods spoke to me and I bought the Nobo! Upon opening the packaging I was greeted with an emerald green CRKT box that was very neatly and nicely packaged on the inside. Everything was where it should be with nothing sticking out of the box like sharp edges. First, I took out the pole which I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of and lacquer although there is a lot of it! The choice grain hickory that they use for their poles is superb and 200 times better than anything Cold Steel produces. Secondly I took the hefty steel axe head out of its plastic packaging, inspected it and there was absolutely nothing wrong aside from having to make it razor sharp myself. I can't speak enough of the quality of this hawk! The pole fits very snug and fits very nice out of the box, but it will need a little sanding to make it sit flush and true. There is a Lot of laquer on the handle though but it's better than wax!! I absolutely love it and encourage You to buy one if you're on the fence like I was. You'll never look back. End note; I purchased the leather Nobo sheath for it and it fits like a glove.!

Bought these back in 2018 and have been throwing them frequently ever since. They hold an edge well and are easy to sharpen. The Handles are very durable even when split by another tomahawk (ooops).Overall these are an excellent value for the quality.

Bought as a gift. Hubby absolutely loved it.
