BlackField 2.0 Tactical Tomahawk with Spike and Nylon Sheath
Construction and Practical Use
This tomahawk is designed for maximum functionality. The head is made of AISI 420 stainless steel, known for its high corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. The blade is curved for efficient chopping, whilst the rear of the head features a sharp penetrating spike. You can use this for prying, breaking hard materials, or piercing sheet metal. The weight-reducing holes in the axe head lower the overall mass and shift the centre of gravity to make handling as natural as possible.
The handle is made from an extremely durable synthetic polymer reinforced with nylon fibres. This makes it lightweight, rot-proof, and resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations. Ergonomic grooving ensures a firm grip even when wearing gloves or with wet hands. The head is securely bolted to the handle with three massive screws, allowing for easy replacement or maintenance. Included in the package is a robust BlackField nylon sheath, protecting both the edge and you during transport.

Historical Context: From Stone to Tactical Polymer
The tomahawk has its roots with the indigenous peoples of North America. The original word tamahaac in Algonquian languages simply meant "tool for cutting". Originally, they had stone heads, but with the arrival of Europeans, they quickly transitioned to iron and steel, often produced by blacksmiths in France or Britain as trade goods. The tomahawk became a symbol of frontiersmen and soldiers during the colonial wars. Its renaissance came during the Vietnam War, where US units rediscovered its versatility – from opening ammunition crates to close-quarters combat. Today's tactical tomahawks, like this BlackField model, build upon this rich tradition using modern materials.

Maintenance and Safety
To ensure your tomahawk serves you for many years, follow these principles:
- Cleaning: Clean dirt and resin from the blade after every use in the field. Although the steel is stainless, an occasional wipe with oil (e.g., gun oil) is beneficial.
- Check Connections: Regularly check the tightness of the three screws holding the head to the handle, especially after intensive chopping. Use an Allen key for this.
- Safety: The rear spike is very sharp. Be careful of the tool rebounding towards your body during use. Always use the supplied sheath when carrying to prevent injury.
- Usage: This tool is intended for chopping wood, light demolition work, and self-defence. Do not throw it against rocks or concrete, as this could chip the edge or damage the polymer handle.
To keep the razor edge in perfect condition, we recommend adding a pocket sharpening stone to your gear.
