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)

My first thing that popped into my head when I pulled it out were: Wow, this is small. The second thing that popped into my head was : This packaging is stupid! (have a knife ready, youll need one, unless you like fiddling with zip ties for half an hour) The third thing that popped into my head was: Who cares if these are small, they are awesome! I am giving this a good review, because I like tomahawks anywhere I can get to use them: Video games (dead rising 2, black ops, red dead redemption), real life, axe throwing competitions on t.v., absolutely anywhere. I am a knife collector, but my love of tomahawks goes deeper than my love of knives. If you are an axe thrower, dont be fooled by the small size, this will throw well, and far, and fast. It is throwing sharp right out of the box, and I nearly cut myself seeing how sharp it was. If you want a small, utility style tomahawk, instead of those flimsy ones we all hate to get suckered into trying out, do not fear, you could put up a fight against a possessed pile of cinder blocks if you needed to. This will kill zombies, mini golems, rabid coyotes, demon monkeys, or anything that you can think of. I wont suggest fighting off a bear or mountain lion, youll need a shotgun for cqb with one of them. Also, these are a much better size for fighting hawks, mostly due to the fact the voodoo hawk looks like it should belong to optimus prime (who wants a tacted out hawk looking like its from planet cybertron?. I also would advise learning how to throw hawks. They are still good defense weapons when thrown. If a guy with tiny knife threatens you, you take out this hawk, which is well under three inches in blade length, hell be scared out of the pantyhose hes using to cover his face. Clearing small brush is nothing but easy with this hawk. I was so into this item I bought 4 of them. My grandfather helped design some of the multi-tools sog makes, or used to make, and still has the one they gave him. This is a multi-tool of tomahawks, so dont be afraid to put it through its paces. Trust me, you wont be able to break it, and if your still unsure about it, try to, sog will replace it with a brand new one. Every sog tomahawk comes with a lifetime warranty. Also buy some grip tape too, you may find the handle to be slippery when youre all sweaty from working with it for a while. Over all, buy MORE THAN one, youll love them.

I do not give 5s easily but there one major reason. Bought this for my sons 9th birthday and he stuck this thing within a couple of throws. It is a great size for both children and adults. The learning curve in minimal. We do not land every throw but the success rate is perfect for keeping confidence and interest up. Product: The handle does feel a bit slick but that hasnt caused any issues. This handle is tough as nails though, we throw on the end grain of logs and this handle has been taking a beating. The screws which secure the head to the handle have remained locked. If they do ever loosen Id just use some thread lock to fix the problem.

This is my second SOG hawk. Its very light and its the most useful trail tool I own. The versatility is hard to beat and I pretty much wear it whenever I hike or do work around my cabin. Im super happy with the first hawk I bought but Im not very fond of the sheaf. Its hard to get the axe in and out of the holster when its carried on my belt. This hawk has an available hard sheaf that works much better than the stock soft nylon carrier. These tools are great and they will cut through almost anything.

SOG makes in my opinion some of the greatest knives/hatchets/multitools for your hard earned dollars. I have this hatchet in both the polished finish and oxide finish. Both have held up great in all kinds of situations. I bought this fast hawk to carry lashed to my hunting pack for splitting pelvis bones and quartering (I think its faster than sawing lol). I previously used the regular larger version of the fast hawk but it is slightly heavier. Using it day to day for what it is designed for it will work great. I did loosen the head of my larger hawk due to accidentally hitting cement while splintering some wood for fire starter which sucked but it is still very usable (very durable) although im sure after more use it will only start to loosen more now. It does use hex bolts to fasten the head to the handle and im sure if i wanted to buy those I could tighten it right back up. Very good blade, I recommend to anyone and every one.

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

This axe from SOG is a real beauty. It is crafted so well and looks so nice, I was hesitant to take it out to the woods and smash and cut things with it. But since Im not going to keep it for a display on my wall, even though tempted, thats what I did. I smashed through a concrete block with little effort using the pointed end. I then whacked on a 3 inch tree branch until it fell, then proceeded to cut it into pieces using the axe blade. For good measure, I cut some dead wood into fire sized lengths. After a good hour or so, I had given the Fasthawk a fair workout. I was ready to give it a well deserved 5 Star rating. Until I was placing it back into its sheath and noticed that the head of the axe was loose. There was a good quarter of an inch of play (movement left to right) between the head and handle. Im pretty sure I can tighten the screws that hold the head onto the handle, but if I had taken the axe out for a weekend or more of hard use, I would not have been that fortunate. Since this is not full tang, there seems to be a flaw in the method they chose to join the axe and handle together. So, I dropped a star from my rating. I would still recommend the Fasthawk from SOG. Ive owned a few axes that would not have destroyed a concrete block so easily and still looked so darned good afterwards. It also cut through a lot of tough oak. I will however bring the proper screwdriver along next time. Just in case. And who knows, to give SOG the benefit of the doubt, maybe I just got one that wasnt tightened correctly at the factory.

Needed sharpening, great tool for general small hatchet jobs, have not thrown it yet

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.

Very first thoughts: Amazing. I bought this Fasthawk mainly for splitting small firewood and for my bug-out bag. Its extremely light weight (perfect for a bug-out), it splits small firewood like nobodys business, and it looks awesome. However, I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 because it shipped with a loose bolt. When I use it, the axe head pivoted back and forth. This is a simple fix because I live close to a SOG warehouse, but for anyone who isnt near one it will be more of a headache. It still works fine with the loose bolt, but its annoying and probably not safe. Overall I am satisfied enough to give this 4/5 stars!

I own several SOG knives and have never been disappointed. So, I was somewhat surprised and a little disappointed with the size of the hatchet head. It’s smaller than I anticipated never having seen one in the flesh. Other than that, it is typical SOG quality. The hatchet is very sharp out of the box, the handle is sturdy and the point opposite the hatchet will certainly break windows as well as heads. I have not had the opportunity to throw it yet, so can’t speak to that. Honestly, I bought it to carry in my vehicle as a self defense tool while camping in the wild. It is in that role I wish the head was larger. Overall, I’m happy with it and will keep it. Oh, and the nylon cover doesn’t suck!
