Your cart is empty.Our War Hawk combines the tactical styling and material used in our popular Trench Hawk with historically inspired design elements from fighting hand-axes of old. With its wide “bearded” axe head and curved reinforced reverse Tanto style spike it is a thoroughly modern tactical tomahawk and breaching tool! Each War Hawk is supplied with a patented articulated Secure-Ex sheath.

This is probably the last axe I'll need to buy. Came surprisingly sharp and has a good weight and balance. I was torn between this and the trench hawk. Glad I went with this one. The sheath works quite well without marking the axe head. Put it through its paces a bit and it has handled everything I have thrown at it. I'll probably get one for my dad. If I had to take one axe into the apocalypse, this would be it. I've been a CS fan for years but never got one of their axes till now. Worth every penny and then some.

Partiamo dal presupposto che di norma un tomahawk dovrebbe essere "leggero" dai 500 ai 700 grammi circa, questo ne pesa ben oltre il chilo, rendendo perfetto per lavori anche gravosi, abbattimento alberi e spacco della legna e così via..... avvicinandosi alle ascie ma troppo.Molto apprezzato il disegno della lama in stile Tanto, più orientale per dire ma con tagli netti e più inclinazioni, che lo rendono un oggetto anche da tenere in esposizione.Comodo anche il sistema di tenuta della lama al manico, che ne permette una veloce manutenzione o sostituzione, il manico in materiale composito, anche se non presenta disegni particolari per la presa, fornisce un ottimo grip, difficilmente vi scivolerà di mano che sia nuda o guantata.Consigliatissimo per tante caratteristiche oltre che per il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

The Cold Steel Warhawk is not an axe. It’s a large tomahawk that is made to be a combination tool & weapon, capable of light chopping or breaching but not heavy chopping of wood or other chores better left to an axe or hatchet. I love the shape and feel of the polymer handle, and the heft of this tool. Also comes with an excellent guard for carry or storage that fits over the head to cover the sharp edges and spike. If you want a large tomahawk of unusual design and low price, this might be worth looking into.

I purchased this item more out of curiosity than anything. It looked pretty cool and had a number positive reviews, and it was not expensive. I was amazed that it was shipped to me via 2nd Day UPS Air.It has an awesome appearance. It was physically larger than I had anticipated, which is not a bad thing. It clearly has mass and weight, but is not unduly heavy. The handle is fairly long and felt good. It had just enough texture to make it comfortable, but I can see where it could use a bit of help. Using Ranger Bands would give it a great feel. You could also wrap it in paracord or give it some hand stippling. It's open to your imagination. I ordered a replacement handle so that I could cut off about 4 inches, making it more compact. The long handle is fine and does allow a great two-handed grip.The blade's quality is very nice. It's symmetrical, extremely sharp, and has a nice even finish. The spike is equally impressive. While not coming to an extreme point, it is pointed enough to dig in to whatever material you are using it on. It even came well greased.The sheath is a thing of genius. It's articulated and super easy and fast to remove and install. The only thing that it lacks is a method to attach it to one's web gear or backpack. This is not a big issue because there are several ways to accomplish this.The blade's tang extends about 5" into the handle, where it's secured by two bolts. This seems pretty strong. Although I would love to see a full tang version, it would increase the weight quite a bit, which could be an issue. Some have said that after use the bolts can become a bit loose. Placing a drop of blue LocTite on the threads will take care of this.I think this will be a great all around tool for camping and backpackers. It would also handle any fire breathing dragons that you might encounter in the wild and keep the zombies away.The price was equally nice. One can barely go out to dinner for the cost of this thing, and the quality certainly appears first rate.Even if you don't have a specific need for it, it's worth having just because it's way cool.

Well made, slightly different design on the pick, long composite handle allowing a solid hit with your swing. The protective cover does it's job but you have to become creative to attach it to your load bearing equipment. I was a bit puzzled about the design of the pick cover and it's function. Actually contacted cold steel and asked if there was a part missing. ( Attaching screw). To connect the axe head and pick cover together. Haven't heard back from them, did receive a confirmation that my question had been received. All told, it is a nice addition to your gear, whether your making camp or ready for whatever your adventure brings. Affordable, useful and reliable. Can't say that I was totally pleased with customer service response. Made a enquiry asking if there was a screw missing for the axe head cover, there response was my providing a picture of the item, a copy of my receipt of proof of purchase. I purchased a package of different size Chicago screws through Amazon and fixed the problem myself. I thought that for one single screw replacement their request was totally out of line. If their concern for profit is that strict, perhaps better quality control is needed.

Ein sehr tolles Werkzeug der die Bedürfnisse erfüllt.Ich habe nach einen vertraulichen Camping Werkzeug gesucht bis ich an Cold Steel War Hawk gestoßen bin. Den Tomahawk habe ich schon seit etwa fast 1,5 Jahren.Die Axt ist sehr gut verarbeitet und die Beschichtung hält und ist nicht billig.Ich empfehle es gerne weiter an denen die nach etwas robustes suchen.

Excellent weight and feel. The head cuts paper out of the box. Excellent sheath. I had to tighten the two bolts on the sheath because they were rattling. I need to Loc-tite them in place.

A very tough war style axe. I have thrown it a little, chopped branches with it during tree clearing, and split some small wood - and it is indeed a tough tool, as advertised. The head stays tight and the handle is tough. I like that the handle is replaceable should I break it. The spike is wicked - tanto type sharp only at the point, where it needs to be sharp. I do not care for the finish - it picks up wood smears and it is hard to clean thoroughly when it's time to put it away. I also have a mild concern with the way the handle fastens to the blade - it makes splitting wood hard because the handle stops at the wood, and takes an impact. So, for splitting this will do in a pinch (because it can take it) but it wouldn't be my first choice. For throwing - it's fine. For cuttting / limbing / chopping - it's great. It still cuts paper even after limbing a downed maple tree. I also like the sheath - which offers full protection from all the sharp bits, and it's easy to take off / put on. So - yes I would recommend it for anyone looking for a tough, fun but also utilitarian tool. Minus one star for the splitting deficiency.
