Cold Steel Trench Hawk Tactical Tomahawk / Combat Axe

Cold Steel Trench Hawk Tactical Tomahawk / Combat Axe

Detailed Product Description

Every element of this tomahawk has been designed for maximum performance, durability, and versatility. It's a tool you can rely on in any situation.

The Head: A Double Threat

The head is precision drop-forged from a single piece of 1055 carbon steel and is differentially hardened. This means the primary cutting edge and the rear spike are extremely hard to maintain sharpness and resist wear, while the rest of the head is tougher to absorb even the hardest impacts without cracking.

• Main Edge: Razor-sharp, ideal for chopping, cutting, and defensive maneuvers like hooking an opponent's weapon or gear.
• Rear Spike: A sharp, reinforced point designed for maximum penetration, capable of breaching most materials.

The Handle and Sheath

The handle is made from extremely durable polypropylene. This material is practically indestructible, offering excellent resistance to shock, impact, and adverse weather conditions. Even heavy use that would break a sturdy hickory handle will not damage it. A major advantage is that the handle is easily and inexpensively replaceable, with replacement handles available separately.

A patented, articulated Secure-Ex® sheath is included. This clever design securely covers both sharp parts of the head, allowing for comfortable and safe carry of the tomahawk.

A Modern Tool for the 21st Century

The Trench Hawk is not just a weapon; it's a versatile multi-tool:

• Tactical Use: Excellent for military and law enforcement personnel as a breaching tool (for doors, windows) and for close-quarters combat.
• Survival and Camping: It will chop wood, serve as a hammer, and assist in emergency situations.
• Sport Throwing: Thanks to its superb balance and durability, it is ideal for sport throwing at targets.
• Self-Defense: In the hands of an experienced user, it is a highly effective defensive tool.

Historical Inspiration

The name "Trench Hawk" refers to the brutal close-combat weapons used in the trenches of World War I. Its design follows the tradition of American tomahawks, which were a universal tool and weapon on the North American continent for centuries. Cold Steel has taken these proven concepts and enhanced them with modern materials and technology.

Important Legal Notice

The Trench Hawk is a fully functional and extremely sharp tool, not a toy. You must be 18 years of age or older to purchase this item. By purchasing, you certify that you are of legal age. Always adhere to the applicable laws of your country and use the axe responsibly and with extreme caution. The seller assumes no liability for any damage to health or property caused by improper, negligent, or illegal use.

Care and Maintenance

Thanks to the polypropylene handle and the head's surface coating, maintenance is minimal. Keep the cutting edge clean and dry. After use in a damp environment, wipe it down and apply a light coat of oil to prevent corrosion on the sharpened bevel. Periodically check the tightness of the bolts securing the head.

Safety Guidelines

Always remember that both ends of the head are dangerous. Be extremely careful during handling. When throwing, ensure you have a safe area clear of other people and a solid target that will prevent the axe from rebounding. Never throw against hard surfaces like stone or metal.
