![]() ![]() If that is not enough for you, it’s lightweight with extreme durability. This means it can handle multiple weather conditions, both wet and dry. SOG makes this tomahawk capable of pretty much anything. ![]() The beauty of this item is that it tends to be sold under $75 and you’re getting something that can hold its value. In fact, this can be seen in their SOG Survival Hawk, one of the most well-liked tomahawks on the market today. You can contact him at Merrill(at)BreachBangClear.When it comes to the best tomahawks in the business today. He loves tacos, is kind of a dick and married way, way above his pay grade.

Though Grasky is a man of many talents, one of his specialties is man tracking–which is why he developed programs specifically for USSOCOM and has taught the world over. For about a quarter century after that he was a Border Patrolman, and literally named BORTAC. In 1965 Jim Grasky was a young Special Forces soldier in Vietnam, then in 1970 he was a the squadleader for a team of smoke-jumpers parachuting in to fight remote wildfires. That man they were training with was no other than the legendary Jim Grasky. ![]() What is Trails Found? Members of BreachBangClear and some other badass media outlets assembled together this last September to train with one of the last of what has been called the “old Border Breed”, in the desert of Arizona. This Post is part of our Trails Found Series. As for me, here is where it’s gonna stay: Relative to many of the ‘hawks we’ve featured, this one comes at a lower price too (it can sometimes be found at Walmart for half of MSRP). Given the light weight at only 24oz, you’re probably not going to want to take down a red wood with one, but making kindling, trimming branches, and cooking dinner: Yes. This particular tomahawk comes with a soft “ballistic nylon” sheath, but I’m pretty sure its real purpose is to frustrate you so buy one of the molded carriers that comes complete with Tek-Lok. A little bit of a paracord wrap or similar could go a long way. It’s probably inadvisable to do this, as I’m sure it has BPA’s and a load of other bad things that probably shouldn’t be near food.ĭespite the handle body being textured, I found that the grip could use some improvement, especially when wet. When cooking time came, I simply reversed the SOG Tactical Tomahawk and went to town. Making rough cuts was no issue, but I wasn’t able to obtain a proper mince with the garlic. After some experimentation, I found the holes in the head made for an acceptable grip for more precise work. Since it isn’t a full tang tomahawk, the head is secured with torx screws and there’s an additional steel ferrule to strengthen the entire configuration. Just picking it up you absolutely want to try your hand at throwing it, but the sharpness of the blade gave me other ideas to start with.įeeling like I was on an episode of Alton Brown’s Cutthroat Kitchen, I decided to cook a meal with it. The back end of the ‘hawk features a spike, and there’s a textured area on either side of the head to act as a hammer. With a 2.75″ cutting edge that’s sharp from the factory, the SOG Tactical Tomahawk features a synthetic handle with an overall length of just under 16″. But even Costner’s awful Dances with Wolves has a bit of badass ‘hawk action in it (you’re forgiven for forgetting everything about that movie).ĭrawing direct inspiration from the old Vietnam tomahawks you’ve seen (perhaps from Hernandez’s MySpace page) comes the F01TN-CP Tactical Tomahawk from SOG Knives. My first thought is always The Last of the Mohicans quickly followed by The Patriot. Admittedly, I don’t know a whole lot about tomahawks except for what Hollywood taught me–hell, I don’t even prefer larger knives. ![]()
