Product Description

It took Peter LaGana a lifetime of armed combat and months of design and testing to perfect the Vietnam Tomahawk. Now, there's an exact replica of this historic weapon. Like the original Vietnam Tomahawk, our copy is light enough to be carried all day without causing undue fatigue. In combat, this lightness translates into speed; allowing quick changes in direction, even in mid-stroke! The blade of the "hawk" offers a wide, upswept primary edge for tremendous cutting, slashing and chopping potential. The secondary edge on the lower side of the head is specially curved and partially sharpened for both a cutting and hooking attack. When combined with the "V" shaped spike on the back of the hawk head, it is wickedly efficient. It comes complete with a leather sheath in the original oxblood color.

2.0 out of 5 stars looks cool but..., April 9, 2005

I got this axe about 3 months ago. After about 2 weeks of throwing and chopping work the head started to come off. The metal is fine but the connection with the shaft needs much improvement before I would by another.

This review is from: Cold Steel Vietnam Tomahawk American Hickory Handle (Leather Sheath) (Sports)

A good starter hawk if you can find it for under $35. While it is better steel and wood than most low-end tomahawks, It is not in the same league as The American Tomahawk Company's VTAC($110-$120), And certainly will not hold up to the abuse one of the RMJ Tactical products. (Upwards of $300)

For what it is, it does well. I own two of these models. The first one came decently sharp, but the glue on top of the handle that holds the head on was chipped and some substance like hot glue was used to replace the crack. After ten to fifteen throws, It was sliding all over. I still use it, because it is secured pretty well, but I don't throw it anymore.

My second one, the main blade came duller than dull. The spike however, was extremely sharp. A few minutes with a file and then with a sharpening stone, it had a really good edge. The handle right under the head is carved differently than my first one, swelling right under the head. This gives me hope that it will not slide. It hasn't yet anyway.

These are good practicing and training 'hawks, as well as good for light to medium use but if you are going to need it to save your life in a survival situation as a tool or as a weapon, drop a few extra dollars on something better made. c s

Hey this is exactly like the Vietnam tomahawk, which is to say it is a POS. Get a Cold Steel Trench Hawk instead.
