Description
The “Tomahawk”-Hatchet with its 15½" handle has a strikingly broad curved head with a rear poll for driving wedges. Great for making kindling, clearing branches, etc
This beautiful Tomahawk Hatchet features all the hallmarks of the iconic tool: namely, a long, straight handle, and the distinctive profile of a sharply flared edge that tapers abruptly at the handle. The drop-forged head is 8" long with a broad 4-½" curved edge. The butt end is a 1"-square poll that you can use to drive wedges or pound in tent stakes around camp.
The Tomahawk is familiar to the modern eye as one of the classic implements of the North American frontier. It was used a weapon, tool, and in ceremonies—by Native Americans and European settlers alike. (The word itself derives from a pan-Algonquin root for a cutting tool.) While the form is an Indigenous design, European traders formed a sturdier, more effective tool/weapon by replacing the customary stone head with forged steel.
Our Tomahawk Hatchet will work hard in the campsite and yard alike, at making kindling, clearing brush, and even splitting smaller logs. The 15-½" handle is made of USA hickory. A USA-made full-leather belt sheath is available. Made in Germany by one of our most-trusted forges, this functional tool packs a lot of history into its compact frame. Weighs 1.95lbs

bought it for home defense.
"bought it for home defense. I have grand children that are extremely curious and I get tired of locking up my room when they visit. The tomahawk looks like a working implement and they leave it alone. . . . . . . . . . . . thank God. My gripe with it, is that it is not easy to throw. . . . . . . could be operator error. It is well built/constructed. Will certainly drive a spike, or nail. Easy to aim in that respect."

"Well made good tool"
Sharp, but does require tapping to make lock on
"came sharp, love the well balanced feel. does need to be tapped down so locks in place on wood. you can look up a youtube video for how to do it if needed."
Heavy but versatile tomahawk-style hatchet
"Definitely a hatchet and not a tomahawk as it is on the heavy and weight-forward side, so not fast and light like a traditional tomahawk despite the shape. Because of the weight, it does hit hard and splits kindling well despite the profile, which has the narrow profile for the entire blade with the pronounced handle eye. Note that mine needed sharpening out of the box as the edge was a little rough but it sharpened up easily with a WorkSharp power sharpener in a few minutes. Also, the weight forward design does mean it is a little more fatiguing on the hand/forearm vs. a ""normal"" hatchet, but it also hits harder. But, despite this little criticizes, I like this hybrid axe/hatchet/tomahawk/hammer because it is just super versatile, even if it does not do everything really well, it still does everything."
Is this a joke?
"Garret Wade tomahawk is unfinished top heavy , out of balance piece of engineering disaster. The unfinished ""drop forged"" press mark's are not ground and protrude to make this tomahawk one of the most unwieldy and cheap looking pieces of equipment I have bought in years. The handle is entirely too short for the weight of the head and makes this an extremely unjustifiable cost to value ratio. Customer service is lacking in every way. I've been waiting a week for the right department to contact me. Instead they sent me this review. I will never buy anything from Garret Wade again . In full, I believe this tomahawk is not made in Germany, but maybe China. The quality does bespeak German engineering even slightly."
Q&A
- How much does this tomahawk weigh? I really dig it, but I already got one that's a bit heavy for me.
- Dan, the tomahawk weighs just under 2lbs. Thankyou
