Cold Steel Tomahawk Review - There is potential
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лис 2016
- While not ready to go right out of box, discussed in this review are some of the tasks you need to consider to make this inexpensive Tomahawk a viable tool. Given its price this is a great way to get into Tomahawks as well as presents a great modding opportunity.
It is not just the steel that is good it is the heat treating that cold steel does that makes them great and hold a edge.
As axe prices rise and rise I think these are a better and better value. So many people have made negative assumptions about these, I think they are now more than ever best bang for buck in a multi role pack friendly tool, and of course the best part is making the mods to make them yours !!!
Buddy of mine got one. He brought it out on a hike and we had a little throwing competition on a dead standing tree. It was a lot of fun. We did end up breaking the handle though. But that was some major abuse we put on that thing. I will be getting one or two or five.
if you take out that stupid allen screw you will break handles much less. a throwing hawk supposed to have a loose head. helps keep it from breaking from shock.
Strip off the coating with a chemical bath. Few strokes with a hard brush. Get some gunmetal blue, apply it to the entire head. Really helps improve it. I'd sharpen it after the bluing and everything else was done to it.
Man, you got me itching. A short hawk would be an awesome project.
It's fun certainly fun but would add a lot of practicality as well (although removes some power in the swing of course). I'm almost complete now with the shortened version and has turned out really good to this point.
I might have to get a couple of those for my boys. It would be a fun father son project.
I've been thinking the same with my boys.
That's a good gift idea for a younger brother too! Seems like a fun thing to work on.
I just bought the CRKT Woods Chogan. I can't wait to strip it, mod it, sharpen it and make it mine! I'm going to make my own sheath for it too. Great video, thanks
Have fun. It is incredibly addicting.
Use a wood file and sand paper to get a good fit, that's what I do with the tomahawks i use. Most tomahawks usually come all funky, but with a little work you can make it perfect.
I just finished my first pipe hawk myself. I used the set screw, but purchased a longer one and worked great.
Nice.
You've had fun with these. I haven't used one, but will keep in mind off of your recommendation. Always like little projects and for the money seems like a no brainer : )
They're a lot of fun. I just picked up a couple of Rifleman hawks for my two oldest boys for Christmas. Will make for good father/son project.
Looking great! Love CS hawks, I've modded several myself, also throw them all the time. They really are great.
What are the requirements in the Marines this learning how to sharpen your knives it's a learned skill it's also a learned skill in a requirement in the Army and Navy
Real nice looking hawks.
Thanks for showing the differences between them
thanks for watching.
I have to be honest, I used to be annoyed at the state of the axes they send.
But after figuring out how to make them work nicely, I now buy them as blank slates to which I can grind and finish myself.
I wish they actually sold both the head and haft without coatings so I don't have to undo shoddy work, though.
For £40, the hard work is already done.
My friends and I use them for throwing
Great video brother. I'm planning on modding two, one for me, and another as a gift. thanks for the great ideas man
Great idea. I've thought about that as well. Would make for a great Christmas/birthday gift.
"Here's your norse hawk" (customised native American like)...
Ik right...

Hey to each his own. I think it looks pretty sweet.
Seen these a lot, but now you got me into it :-) Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Marc
It's a fun process for sure.
I have beat the hell out of my Cold Steel Viking Hand Axe! It has held up very well and I trust it!
13BRAVO REDLEG agreed. I have the same axe, and it can fell live trees half a foot in diameter with a few good two handed swings.
Man those are beautiful. Have you done a video detailing the work you do on them?
Thanks. And yes there are a couple vids I have if memory serves of walking through the process.
Very nice work on the tomahawk. I like throwing them.
You did an awesome job customizing those hawks, I wouldn't mind trying one of those out myself. At $30 it would be an inexpensive investment, and fun to do.
That's what I figure too. $30 pretty cheap and not a lot of risk if it gets messed up.
I think this would be a fun project with my son. Thank you
You HAVE to try throwing tomahawks ! Pick your target, pace off 7 steps and give it a throw. It's a lot of fun and these cold steel Hawks hold up VERY Nice.
That eagle is looking good, nicely done.👍
Appreciate it.
Can't praise the pipe hawk enough. I split half a tonne of Australian ironbark with ease. Awesome bit of gear.
Definitely a good one.
I have the trailhawk and love it. I plan on modifying it in a similar way that you did.
Enjoy it. It's a fun process and can get addicting.
It's hard not to like tomahawks, I think I remember reading that the French and the English made them and traded them to Indians as this was the Indian's favorite because of size and weight.
That's in part why I like them so much. They have such an interesting history.
Did you do a separate video on the leather wrap? Looks very nice. Working on my Trail Hawk and saw your videos. Thanks!
I put knife oil on my CS Norsehawk and the black coating is flaking off. I don't know if it's my brand of oil or all oils but unless you never oil a carbon steel tomahawk don't count on the paint sticking around, you will be " modding" it to some extent.
Have you tried the trail boss, more of a small axe than a tomahawk. I love mine, i took off the coating and stained the handle, cold blued the head. My head had circle wedges and came a little loose, after rehanging with a split wedge its rock solid. And i had to put a good edge on it. Sounds like alot of work, but they are fun to customize and i like the trailboss design. Shaved about 2" off the top of the handle when i rehung the head.
I have not tried the Trail boss yet. Looks like a good one.
Cool mods, I think I'll try my hand at moding one. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Crocket.
Thanks. Ours was good. Hope yours was good as well.
Great video. Where did you get the leather sheath?
Well done brother.
appreciate it.
Anytime 😊
Great tips & thoughts on the Hawk.Thanks fer sharing Crocket. Hoping all's well & Frosty there, Friend. ATB Terry God Bless
Odd question but what hat is that you wear in a lot of your videos? Been looking for one of a similar style
The hat is from Jacaru. I picked this up in the late 90's so I don't think they have this model anymore. But they may have something similar.
Awesome mods Crocket. Any plans on a video series how to do these mods? Also I would really love to see a video on those cool wood spirits and how you carved them.
He has! Check out his video called "Cold Steel Pipe Hawk Mods". He shows his process of modding them.

how did you do to.make that dark level on the covered one?
nice video im going to buy one and use your advice great job!
I really enjoy these videos. alot if good ideas
very cool work you do on them
Thanks. I think each one gets better.
I've never owned one but I saw a lot of awesome Tomahawk's at Blade
They're a lot of fun. An ax certainly wins out IMO in most cases. But there is something to a tomahawk that makes it fun to use.
I’ve got the Trail Hawk and so far I’m quite happy with it. Any recommendations on how to make the head of the Cold Steel Tomahawks more solid than what they are??
I cut a small wedge from a tree branch or any piece of wood you can find. That works great. It's in one of my tomahawk videos somewhere. Can't remember which one.
The hawk with the wedge in it, what did you do to the head? It looks significantly shinier than the one with the perma blue on it. It also looks a bit worn, like it has got a patina on it. Kinda new to this, so if you can explain what you did to it I would appreciate it. Thank you and continue doing what you are doing.
That one I just stripped the original black coating off. If I were to take that one out and use it, would have to really take care of the head because there is not a protective coating on it. The really dark blue hawk I left the blueing on there for much longer than suggested. That's why it's so dark. If you didn't want it as dark don't leave on as long.
The only thing it could be used for is to patrol the Santa Fe boarder, I have no use for it.
Where did u get the beads for the tomahawk and what feather were they
I have the Viking axe model. Light and deadly
The norse hawk or the viking hand axe?
Tomahawk and knife are great
Sir, What kind of leather stripes did you used? or does somenone else know?
Where do you buy your hawks
Awesome modification
That hole sux, do all models from cold steel have that hole or just this one?
Ax throwing?
how can l remaike that hand?
Can you show how you put the edge on it for us please .

Where can I get a sheath like urs? Sure would appreciate it. 👍 🐸 Poly-wog bushcraft. 😁
That's actually old for coldsteel. I ordered there viking sword and it's razor sharp
How much was it?
hey dude with your Hawk is the head lose a bit when you chop stuff?
It will be if you continue to use the screw. Removing the screw and properly fitting the head to the haft or by putting a wedge in there (which I do) it's rock solid.
thanks
What did you do to remove the black coating?
ua-cam.com/video/xOk6bLjxbhE/v-deo.html
1055 is junk, but half the $ of 1095. Another advantage of 1055 is that it won't hold an edge at all so there's no point in ever sharpening it. 1055 is better than anything for the $& is excellent at splitting because it's not sharp at all. 1095 will stick every time, and it's impossible to extract 1095 from a log. Log splitters are supposed to be very dull like me. I'm self deficating. aero
Very cool!!
Where did you purchase the sheath?
Sorry can't remember. usually keep good records of that stuff and couldn't find it. If I come across it will let you knwo.
Cr0cket20 Thanks anyways for the response. I've been trying to sharpen my trail hawk, but I can't seem to get a good edge on it with my spyderco sharpener. It would be nice to see a tutorial video if you have the time.

Thank you for this good, interesting and helpful review!
And also a notice to you by the way, you are looking like Ragnar Lothbrok !!!
Like and subscribe is done by me.
SKOL,
Frank
thanks for the sub Frank.
how did you wedge your tomahawk??
He just took a piece of wood and shaved it down to size. It was in one of his tomahawk videos.
Sidewayyys I know how to fit an axe head this is a tomahawk head is different.
Sidewayyys it's diffrent
mine needs a shim the ones I make keep falling out it was a poor made handle.
Sidewayyys that's not the way you do a tomahawk man. Not sure you know what your talking about at all. Thanks your trying but I was asking someone who has had the same problem as me.
$30 wow - I have to pay more than 50, at least. plus shipping.
He’s says “there not rock solid.” There metal shouldn’t metal be tougher? Lol
why call it a pipehawk if you can't even smoke with them?
👏
Way out of my realm, but looks cool.
Appreciate the watch.
Cr0cket20 no problem. It's fun watching you and Scout. Fun to watch "local" channels.
🤜🏽🤜🏽🤜🏽💥💥💥
Rinaldi axes cost less and are better
are you looking for a tomahawk? look at this: ua-cam.com/video/9dVaTYmh1_Q/v-deo.html
these hawks are trash, yea the heads are made of 1055, but its a product that comes unfinished. any company that puts a screw in the head to the handle is a joke, and by the time you fit the head to the handle you run out of handle.
