I got myself my first 'tomahawk'. Made by SOG, the FastHawk Tactical Tomahawk with reference number F06PN-CP has a length of 12.5" with a blade length of 2". Weighing in at 19 oz, the axe was purchased via Amazon for USD33.00.
The axe head is made out of 420 stainless steel with two holes to reduce the weight. It has a satin finish with the edge sharpen somewhat (it could have been sharper).
There is a checkered section at the T-junction. The pike end is also satin finished.
The axe head is secured to glass-reinforced nylon handle via two-head screws (see the image above). Note that the tang of the axe head is wider than the handle width. Below this point, a wide metal band is wrapped around the handle for additional safety.
At the end of the handle, a hole is provided for one to thread a lanyard. The brand is prominently stamped on the side of the handle.
For transport, a ballistic nylon sheath is provided with the package.
Conclusion: I suggest the all black version would be a better option. This axe is too shinny.
