I've had my trail hawk for over 25 years. My only 'modification' was to secure the head to the handle with pine pitch, and it still has the original handle. The black paint was removed by use. My trail hawk has been with me in Death Valley, in the mountains of British Columbia, and is still on my belt on every camping trip. Everyone should have one strapped to their pack.

I watched your trail hawk videos repeatedly for years telling myself id get one, i can safely say im watching this video while wrapping the neck of my brand new trail hawk. Im so excited to use it haha. Thank you mate.

A wise old sweat once said, a weapon thrown is a weapon lost.

Excellent tool, purchased mine in 09 fo 20 bucks shipped...money well spent...I don't carry mine as often as I used to, but it remains a favorite of mine...thanks Neil...woods

Have several hawks over the last 50 yrs.this one I bought  about 15yrs ago took me 2 sawsall bi-metals to saw about 2/3s of the poll off and beltsand it back smooth, lightened it, and made it a little more compact.still plenty of hammer surface there for tent stakes or whatever hammer use is needed.

Neil, great video. I would remind people that a 2.5 inch blade will cut through fingers, arms, toes, blood veins and arteries (etc) so be mindfully aware of this. Like all blades, treat it with respect.

I love mine, had it now for about 11 years,  a well used tool.👍🏻

Thank you Englishman.i will listen to you and buy one . everything you said make jolly  good sense.

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos and I just wanted to comment that I liked your knives that you show in the opening. I think it's kind of aesthetic and cool when people are able to put items together that are similar being made of similar materials or maybe they're the same color

The Trail Hawk, was my first Cold Steel Tomahawk. And I've used it for many years. Both camping and hunting. But, where I live it can be hard to find a piece of wood suitable for a handle. Mostly because there is no hard wood in Wyoming. And yes, using the head off the handle is very useful. I now own 5 Cold Steel Tomahawks, and my favorite is the Hudson Bay Hawk, based off the old Hudson bay axe. It has a longer cutting edge, and still has a hammer pole on the back. And I like the long handle, gives you more leverage. A very good tool.

I've had mine for about 16 years. I have a bunch of tomahawks, but I always reach for the trail hawk; it's lightweight and handy but ample for camp tasks. And throwing it staves off boredom. Mine will outlast me for sure.

I love mine, paid maybe $23 delivered.  If your planned trip falls within its abilities it's a great tool.  If you need a full size axe then this won't work but overall it's a great tool.  Made in Taiwan, not a problem for me.

I have had mine for about 15 years and is my go to tool for light weight hiking and camping.  I pack the head and handle separately for better space usage.  Excellent tool!

I really love my tomahawks. I have a few. I want the pipe hawk next. I have the trail and the frontier.  I also would like the Hudson bay hawk that one looks perfect.
I personally don't find much use in a ax. A tomahawk i can make useful.  But really i like a knife and a folding saw.
In boyscouts and i carried on to the army and many schools. I always carried different saw blades we hide them in our frame on my pack. Then we practiced making saws.
I wanna start doing that again.  A bow saw is so wonderful to use.
A tomahawk is always good to have with all the crazy people around nowadays.  
It really for those times where your out numbered the tomahawk = a few friends 😊 helpful friends not the run and hide friends ya know what i mean.

Trail Hawk is my favorite tomahawk. No I would not build a cabin with it, but it will carry easily in my pack and can use it for all sorts of things. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for Sharing.  Stay Safe.

Very enjoyable video! I have allot of GFB axes and hatchets and many other tomahawks but like you, I always reach for this one. I also like their Hudson Bay tomahawk. Cheers mate

Thanks

Very nice. Good video, thank you.

It's so good I bought many!
