You think it bores us to watch you build improvised tools...? That is the reason we are here. To learn these skills and get ideas so we can go and put in time in the field to do what your demonstrating. You really should do more like this. Please show the adze. Thank you.
Watching you make an improv handle is not boring at all. In fact, for me at least, it let me choose the trail hawk over any of the hatchet designs. That hammer end is invaluable for batoning. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Great video. 10 years later I watch this and still great. This was a time where CZcams videos where full of knowledge and so more real than a lot of todays videos! Thank you!!!
this is the best hawk video ever ! I'm a long scandinavian traditional axe user and I never understand well the use of a Tomahawk. Thanks to this video I totally revaluate this kind of axes and I will buy a Trail Hawk sooner ! Thanks really a lot for sharing your knowledge :)
I love my trail hawk...carried a hatchet a lot of years...got one of these when they first came out...trimmed a few inches off the shaft (so it would fit in my pack better) and was in love! Lighter faster and popping the head off it's like a second tool/tools as you show so well...people spend so much money on giant knives to do what knives are not designed for...and I have a few myself...but this is what I use the most...great for improvising hunting blinds and shelters to!
I have owned a Cold Steel Norse hawk and a Trail hawk for about 10 years now, and actually went on Ebay to buy an adze. I never even considered using the trail hawk in that manner. Absolutely f**king brilliant! Thanyk you for this, and all of your videos!
This is a sweet video, you demonstrated things I wouldn't have thought of. I had originally written off any tomahawks for axes, but you made some great points and seeing it in action drove those points home. Cheers Dave from BC Bushcraft
I know this is an old video, but been looking at one of these as a lighter trekking option to my current axe and you've got some badass skills and made me think of the versatility of this one that I would never have thought of.
I've been studying bushcraft for a little while now, but it didn't occur to me until recently the benefits of a tomahawk. At 1.5 lbs the versatility as a tool and a weapon, it's possibly one of the best practical tools one can have, in my opinion.
Based on your video I bought the cold steel trail hawk. Stripped the head and forced a patina, sanded and stained the handle. Looks great. I would not have thought to add this to my kit until I saw your video,, Thank You!!!
I know it’s a long shot, but I hope you still read the comments on your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and passing on your knowledge and showing us skills. Much appreciated. Blessings!!!
That is a very useful axe. Being able to make a handle just with the head means that at a pinch you can just keep a head in your kit if you don't have space for the entire axe.
Excellent demo on the usefulness of this hawk. I really like the easy to remove head and option to make an improvised handle if need be. Now this looks like a chopper that a non-northern woodsman wouldn't mind packing.
Your video is one of the few that shows making a handle (or how fast it can be done). Definitely *not* boring in the least. My wife just asked me today what I wanted for my birthday and I directed her to the Trail Hawk because of this vid. Thanks!
Good video. You have a good sense of what people want to see. To many know it alls out there making videos as painful to sit through as a sermon. Keep up the good work.
Great vid Brother it inspired me to use my trail hawk in a one tool situation to see how many uses I could find. I also used it with some quartz and was able to strike sparks of the top and I was able to notch deadfalls by using the same method you used it for as a chisel.
@@patricktalamantes5503 Relax, bro...😁 He just meant as in the overall purpose for such tools. Obviously, you want a tomahawk for whatever reasons...get one!
Dude, really. You have some amazing videos. I always thought those "tomahawk" type tools were simply worthless novelties. You never fail to impress. Keep up the good work, sir!
Well done Tutorial sir. I've used tomahawks from my military day on. I hardly ever use my knife out in the field. A friend taught me how to use my tomahawk for skinning/cleaning pelts. Outstanding tool. No wonder it's been around since the stone age.
Thanks! I just got mine from Amazon. It's my second one, because I gave my first away. You've given me a lot of info as to the versatility and the adze use is pure genius! I just subscribed. Again thanks!!! --- Clark
You sir, are a mans man!! Thanks for the great video you convinced me to get a tomahawk i was on the fence about getting one.. Keep up the awesome videos!
this is my favorite video ever :) you convinced me so much on Tomahawk versatility that I take the head with me every time I go outdoor :) thanks for sharing your knowledge dude ;)
You know the early frontiersmen and mountain men etc. had access to axes and hatchets ,but most chose to carry the tomahawk. That alone should say something about the versatility of the hawk. Good video!
I got mine in a few days ago. I made a 15" and 25" handle along with a bunch of failures. Before you guys take only the head with you and make a handle at the campsite, make sure you practice because it's harder than he showed in this video. This is a wonderful video though!
THANKS MAN... THAT VID WAS SICK... I USE TO ALWAYS WONDER WHY THE HECK PEOPLE WANTED WOODEN HANDLES WHEN U COULD JUST GET THE ENTIRE THING METAL. BUT NOW I GOT IT. PEACE
I drilled all the way through the head, drilled through the handle 1/6" higher. After getting the head as far up the handle as possible. Then hammer a piece of brass bar through which pulls the head a touch higher on the handle. Then domed the bar. Ot has been like this for years! Never comes loose!
really great and useful video !!! I'm a fan of the standard european axes but I never think using the head of a Tomahawk like that. This is great, thanks a lot for sharing !
Got a cs pipe hawk for Christmas based on this and other videos. I love it. Would you do a video demo of how you sharpen your hawk? Mine wasn't very sharp. Would love to see your technique.

Very instructive video.
you prove there is no need to run to the store for a broken tool handle.
Thank you for the demonstration.

I agree 100%!
Hey Mr. Woodsman- it's not boring to watch you make a handle. Show us that stuff!
Wow! Excellent work! The Adze blows me away. Loads of ingenuity.
Excellent demo on making hawk handle with only hawk head. Well done.
SC Rider Thanks
not boring watching you make the handle at all! took no time! thank you for sharing your skills
This is still one of the best videos on the Trail Hawk I've seen.
I know this is an old video, but been looking at one of these as a lighter trekking option to my current axe and you've got some badass skills and made me think of the versatility of this one that I would never have thought of.
Definitely not boring watching the handle crafting. The more I see the more I learn.
RTEK Thanks, glad you liked it.

I like the Trailhawk. I was very surprised how well it chopped.
Based on your video I bought the cold steel trail hawk. Stripped the head and forced a patina, sanded and stained the handle. Looks great. I would not have thought to add this to my kit until I saw your video,, Thank You!!!
Best tomahawk video I've seen.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid.
I know it’s a long shot, but I hope you still read the comments on your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this and passing on your knowledge and showing us skills. Much appreciated. Blessings!!!
SantiagoMenendez Yes I do still read comments. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
Greetings from Utah. I sure do like your videos. Thank you for bringing so much enjoyment into my life + helping my bushcraft skills. God bless.
That's awesome! Blew my mind on what all you could do with that hawk!
LittleMtnOutdoors Thanks, it is a handy little tool.
That is a very useful axe.

Great video, thank you. Have since bought one. Excellent idea on edging the side for the fire steel. Thanks, Colin
I love hawks, thank you! Maybe the best I found. Thank you , please keep it up. Very informative.
Great man, thx for sharing I truly learn from your videos and it is appreciated.
One of the best reviews I've seen yet. Bravo. I'm sold.
I never thought about popping the head off of the handle and using it as a splitting wedge. I need to try that!
very cool video. i never gave the trail hawk a second thought, but you kinda changed my mind on that. very cool bushcraft stuff.
Good video. You have a good sense of what people want to see. To many know it alls out there making videos as painful to sit through as a sermon. Keep up the good work.
That was an excellent segment on handle making. Thanks.
Excellent video. Thanks for showing what this tool can really do.
Great vid Brother it inspired me to use my trail hawk in a one tool situation to see how many uses I could find. I also used it with some quartz and was able to strike sparks of the top and I was able to notch deadfalls by using the same method you used it for as a chisel.
Amazing video! Never had a concept of how versatile a tomahawk could be! Definitely going to have to pick one up and try for myself! Thank you!
dude watching you make the handle was NOT boring...great job
Tomahawk's are for Travelers/Rangers.
Felling Axe for Campers/Settlers.
I use both :D
A very well thought out and accurate statement. I concur, my good sir.
Tomahawk are very whoever wants a fucking tomahawk
@@patricktalamantes5503 someone much hostile very no fuckeeng reasun
@@patricktalamantes5503 Relax, bro...😁
He just meant as in the overall purpose for such tools. Obviously, you want a tomahawk for whatever reasons...get one!
I just ordered one and stumbled upon this video, what a great demonstration, thank you
Very nice ax and multi purpose. Thanks for showing
Great video! Thanks for sharing your skills with the group!

Really good video. Will be buying one of these now.
Great video man ,im glad you took the time to do this.Ive just learnd some cool stuff.
That's sound detailed review and usages of trail hawk. Excellent tips too. Good Presentation 😎👍
Well done Tutorial sir. I've used tomahawks from my military day on. I hardly ever use my knife out in the field. A friend taught me how to use my tomahawk for skinning/cleaning pelts. Outstanding tool. No wonder it's been around since the stone age.
Awesome video! I am a fan of Cold Steel and I have the Kukri Machete in my Kit.Thanks for making this video, great job!
Thanks! I just got mine from Amazon. It's my second one, because I gave my first away. You've given me a lot of info as to the versatility and the adze use is pure genius! I just subscribed. Again thanks!!! --- Clark
Thanks for the great review, tipped me over the edge so I've just ordered one. Keep up the great work and thank you for the handle tutorial :)
Great vid, also like the ones you did for the cold steel shovel, subbed
I just got one of these myself to play around with. This video helped me choose, that ads I really want to try. Great, great video. Thank you
Well, consider another one sold. Thank you for making this vid, brother! Excellent, excellent information.
You sir, are a mans man!! Thanks for the great video you convinced me to get a tomahawk i was on the fence about getting one.. Keep up the awesome videos!
Great demo. The Adze was wonderful! very useful info!!! 5 stars.
Cool vid! Like all your others. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, it's much appreciated.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this with us!
this is my favorite video ever :) you convinced me so much on Tomahawk versatility that I take the head with me every time I go outdoor :) thanks for sharing your knowledge dude ;)
I enjoyed the making a new handle demo.
Thanks for filming that...
Awesome overview man, had never thought about using as an adz before. Thanks for posting up!
Thanks man i was thinking about getting me one of these .Now im sold .Great vid by the way.
I love my trail hawk! nice video!
Eye opening! Thank you!
Nice. You hear people say just make a handel but not many show it. Great quick job.
And: I enjoyed watching how you made an handle!!! I learned a lot!
Great video I have a trail hawk as well didn’t know about the adze option. Thank you brother
That was the best tamahawk video that I have seen on CZcams and I've seen a lot of them. Thank you.
Great hawk use and I really like your boots. Cheers
By far the best tomahawk vid. Damn good job
Awesome handle making demonstration. You hear a lot of "you can make one" but not a lot of "so let's do it."
You know the early frontiersmen and mountain men etc. had access to axes and hatchets ,but most chose to carry the tomahawk. That alone should say something about the versatility of the hawk. Good video!
Good video IA, I've been contemplating one of those. Lots of uses with one tool. Thanks man.
This hawk
Is definitely on my list now. Thanks!
Great video and a great tool. Thanks!
This was informative video! Well made...straight forward and educational!
🎓 Informative and not boring ! Thanks for posting, watched it twice. 👍
Nice video. Definitely have to be able to make simple, cheap, homemade replacement handles to slip on when your're going to be playing "handles".
sweet job man - I will get one of those soon and cant wait to hold em in my hands :-)
thx for showing all this
cheers from Austria
Mike
Awesome vid. I'm getting one of those . Thank you 👍
This vid shows why this is one of the best "Skill" channels on CZcams.
Great vid, keep up the great work! It was by no means boring.
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!!
Love to adapt and improvise kit, as a resort you could just take the head into the wild and make the shaft, love it - gr8 ideas - nice one.
I got mine in a few days ago. I made a 15" and 25" handle along with a bunch of failures. Before you guys take only the head with you and make a handle at the campsite, make sure you practice because it's harder than he showed in this video. This is a wonderful video though!
You sold me on it. Great video thanks for the help!
THANKS MAN... THAT VID WAS SICK... I USE TO ALWAYS WONDER WHY THE HECK PEOPLE WANTED WOODEN HANDLES WHEN U COULD JUST GET THE ENTIRE THING METAL. BUT NOW I GOT IT.
PEACE
Great vid--gave me some great ideas--thanks.
That's thinking outside the box brother! Great vid I already did the mods to mine thanks for posting!
Awesome video. Nothing boring here. All good stuff.
Lil Mike Thanks, glad you liked it.
well thought out, well presented and convincing, thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.
practical = 100% value demonstration = 100% fantastic stuff mate thanks for sharing
I drilled all the way through the head, drilled through the handle 1/6" higher. After getting the head as far up the handle as possible. Then hammer a piece of brass bar through which pulls the head a touch higher on the handle. Then domed the bar. Ot has been like this for years! Never comes loose!
really great and useful video !!! I'm a fan of the standard european axes but I never think using the head of a Tomahawk like that. This is great, thanks a lot for sharing !
Great Video! Really cool stuff. I think I will have to pick one of them up eventually :)
Got a cs pipe hawk for Christmas based on this and other videos. I love it. Would you do a video demo of how you sharpen your hawk? Mine wasn't very sharp. Would love to see your technique.
Great vid as always IA !! Thanks Buddy !!
Great job. Thanks
Excellent instructional video. Thanks for sharing.
you got the best cs tomahawk review video, thanks for the impho and your time
