SOG FastHawk- Lighter, Faster, Agile Throwing Hatchet (F06TN-CP) & Entrenching Tool- 18.25 Inch Folding Survival Shovel with Wood Saw Edge and Tactical Shovel Carry Case- Black (F08-N)

This beautiful, fun and exciting weapon of mass distraction.... I use this beast and the 2 others I bought as throwing tomahaks....As I live in a semi - upscale neighborhood my neighbors seem think I may be unstable due to my activity of choice, they all sit on their balconies and watch me drill these bad boys into my backboard with a thunderous ca-thunk (much like it was thrown by the hand of Thor himself). The only inadequacy I found in my order of this fine product was that I failed to order 3 more. 10/10, I recommend. Id give them 7 out of 5 stars if I was allowed to by this infernal Amazonian machine. In all seriousness, keep up the good work SOG, as always a tremendous product, you sick beautiful prodigal men of savagery.

I use this as a hunting hatchet. Chops through bone and wood nicely. Keeps an edge well.

I gave this gift to my brother as a Christmas gift. He was totally excited about it when he opened it...it looks like a top-quality piece of equipment! The only down-side that ruined Christmas: When he opened it, his girlfriend was sitting next to him on the couch. Within seconds, she wanted to hold it. He went to pass it to her, but it slipped out of her hand and fell 6 inches onto her leg. It didnt seem like it fell far enough to have any momentum, but the thing is so sharp that it cut through her jeans and left a bleeding, inch long gash in her leg! We wanted her to go to the ER for stitches, but she decided she would take the scar instead of going to the ER on Christmas day. And yes, she now has a scar.

Received in the mail today. I am really happy with the size of this item. I already own the Tact Hawk and its great for cutting and pounding but too big to trow well and carry around on my belt. I was able to fit my belt through the loop on the sheath. Its tight but will stretch in time for a perfect fit. The item carries very well close to the hip and the length of the handle is small enough not to interfere when walking around. The cutting edge is much smaller on the fast hawk as opposed to the tact hawk. If you want to cut down trees get the tact hawk. If you want to carry the thing around with you and cut smaller branches get the fast hawk.

I bought the F06-N as a companion to the larger F01. In regular use, this is an emergency tool in the vehicle. Its small enough to fit in the gap between driver seat and center console, but has enough heft to take out a window if that was the only route of egress available. While this is an application that I hope this tool will never be used in, it has seen A LOT of use during recent camping trips. It is the perfect size for our 8-year old son who uses it to chop firewood and tinder. The blade retains the edge well and the spike helps quite a bit when splitting large branches. For the price an overall useful tool. The only part that could be better is the sheath. It is set up so that the blade can -and will- cut through the threads that hold the two halves together. Some Kydex work seems to be in order here shortly.

I am a Cold Steel fan, and really admire their quality. I also like the American Hickory handles. BUT, this tactical tomahawk is well built too !!! It throws well, and can be very, very sharp. I do have some training with different weapons, and this little baby is no slouch in that department. Its real use comes from the fact that it is almost designed to run along the Molle webbing of my Maxpedition Sitka. It comfortably sits there and wont go anywhere despite a rigorous hike. One small velcro tie, and this wont slip out accidentally - no way and no how. But the velcro strip is easily removed, and this Tomahawk deploys nicely. On dried wood, from the middle of the summer, this will service nicely. It is smaller and will require a bit more effort to get rid of a downed tree, but from a survival perspective - just perfect. I have not pressure tested the handle, but suspect it can withstand a brutish amount of force. It wont come a part on you. I bought mine on a bit of sale, and it was well worth the price. Put this on your wish list, and strike when that iron is hot !!!

As I come to expect with all the SOG products I purchase, the FastHawk is a high quality product that once in hand, made me feel like a true American badass. I immediately thought of all the wood, rope and other materials I would annihilate with this hardy peice of un-adulterated SOG steel. The FastHawk is well balanced, and though light weight, has a solid strike-point that gives a satisfying cut. It performs exceptionally well in all use situations and is a must for any camper or outdoorsman. I may even start using it to pop weeds in my yard, so the rest of the neighbors know how awesome this little tomahawk is. Five steel-spangled stars for this awesome blade.

5 stars all round! the axe has been to hell and back. constant bashing against rocks, days submerged in muddy water/sand, left in the snow for months, and it can STILL slash, chop, and stick like no other. the blade is SUPER strong and well built. if it gets dull, just take it to the belt grinder and youre all set. some rust spots here and there, but thats expected from such abuse. il be buying another soon!

the fast hawk is a scaled down version of sogs fusion tomahawk, it feels much handier than the larger, a little more easily concealed (?) the blade is very sharp, construction solid, marketed more as a tactical tomahawk than the larger fusion which was billed more as an emergency entry tool or camp axe (hmmmm right) the only negative i can say about the fasthawk and its larger sibling is that the gripping surface may not offer enough traction for wet work (if ya know what i mean) the fasthawk head is attached to the handle by two bolts which pass through the tang of the head, seems more solidly attached than most other tomahawks [see mel gibson in the patriot for use]

I tell you what, when I unboxed this hatchet i was shocked at the small size of the axe head and was sure it wouldnt do much, i can say with 100 percent confidence that i was wrong, this baby can chop wood like theres no tomorrow, Ive used this for cutting pretty sizeable branches since the day i got it (September 10th) and it still cuts like its new, the durability on it is amazing and you best beilive im going to buy more SOG products
