This hatchet is modeled after an early frontier pattern. The Cold Steel Trail Hawk is truly multi-functional. It’s an excellent chopper and has a functional hammer poll with a hardened face so you can drives nails, hammer in stakes, and smash or crush just about anything. Best of all it’s extremely lightweight and compact so it’s a cinch to tuck it under your belt or lash it to a pack or shooting bag. The axe head is made of 1055 carbon steel and the handle is made of hickory.

    One of my favorite hawks First off, if you expect a Cold Steel hawk to be ready to go straight from the box then you’re likely to be disappointed. Every Cold Steel hawk I’ve ever dealt with has needed some level of work to bring it to a functional level, for the most part this consists of a good sharpening and reseting the head on the halft.
    The Trail Hawk was the my first foray into CS hawks, it had good lines, a short cutting edge and well designed hammer poll. I bought it specifically with utility use in mind, mainly for game processing and small camp chores such as firewood cutting and tent peg instalation. It’s one of the few CS hawks I own that I didn’t do any real work to, like stripping the paint, or reprofiling the shape. I reset the head, cut some grooves in the halft for better purchase and sharpened it up. It’s withstood over ten years of random use including processing numerous deer and several harsh camping trips. The paint has held up well and I’ve had no issues with rust.
    It’s a good hawk at a fair price.

    A Camping Necessity I’ve owned this hawk for 4 years now and after many camping trips, and time assisting me in the woods and during yard work, I can say it’s one of the better Cold Steel axes. It’s light weight (especially when compared to the Rifeman’s Hawk) is great, and makes it hardly noticeable when carrying on your side or carrying it on your pack. During pell exercises, it also leads to faster recovery time on your strikes. It comes out of the box sharp too, which is a huge plus. And yes, the hammer works too.

    The only major downside is that the Cold Steel Nylon sheath for this axe is awful. Do yourself a favor and get a kydex sheath off of ebay if you find yourself needing coverage for your axe head.

    tl;dr – Great tomahawk. Light weight makes it awesome to carry and do drills with. I highly recommend buying an aftermarket scabbard.

    Indespensible Bought one in 2004 and loved it. Gifted it to my BIL who uses it On his homestead in rural Vermont, he swears by it.
    His handle is still good. If you throw prepare to re-handle is my advice based on tossing other CD products.
    Solid Value.
