Chogan Hammer T-Hawk: Outdoor Camping Axe with Hammer Poll, Forged Carbon Steel Head, Tennessee Hickory Wooden Handle 2724

I love it, though I've not used it yet. Ordered the mask/sheath for it already. Simple and utilitarian look, but I'm betting it'll be a workhorse. I might buy another one lol

Well made! Enough said!

Must have for the Survivalist , woodmen ,hunter compact easy to store away , sturdy cuts great

I'll start off with the bad. This hatchet needs some work out of the box. The handle looks to have been roasted or torched to remove moisture, but it is rough. A quick sanding and some oil brought into decent shape. Also the head is not attached, which is no big deal if you are prepared for it, but if you expect this thing to be ready out of the box then you will be disappointed. The head is easily seated, and secures decently with a rubber mallet, but mine still has a little wiggle and I will be shimming it before heavy use. Multiple reviews mention the edge as being only so-so, and it needs sharpening fairly quickly. The good. The handle grain is quite handsome; this is a good looking tomahawk. The head is a nice weight and overall the chogan feels well balanced. The roughness of the haft can actually be a benefit, it allows you to make it your own. Sand it to a profile you like, oil it, stain it if you wish, it can be easily customized unlike a polymer handle. The third plus is the price. This tool, if properly set up and cared for, feels like it will last a good long time and I would be very happy to finish one out and present it as a gift. . Over all I am quite happy considering the price, the main caveat would be that this is not a ready to use piece of kit. Consider it a 90-95% complete kit. Handle is shaped and partially finished, but fine detailing and final assembly are required.

Liking my Chogan hammer tomahawk, nice and packable.

This tomahawk is really hard, and powerful one. And fit well too. You can swing, destroy anything you want. Hammer side is useful too. But you have to remind it's heaviness. It's really heavy. Good for weapon, tool, anything else. But beware pain of your arm after you use this beast.

Do not get this tomahawk unless you're handy with making your own handle replacements. Could not find a replacement here in Amazon, not on the CRKT website. Contacted their customer service and they said they do not make a replacement handle for this particular model. The handle is egg shaped, which I especially like for indexing (knowing where your blade is just by feel). But to not make replacement handles for a specific model that uses a specific shape is bad business. So unless you have the time and skills to reshape another handle....DO NOT GET. I'm going to return this one and keep the Woods Chogan model since replacement handles are available.

great for small wood splitting projects.

Good

The handle needed work for a proper fit, and the blade needed sharpening for my needs. Only time will tell of it's durability. Would of been nice to have a proper sheath.
