Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 65Mn steel blade made of and how does it perform?

65Mn is a carbon steel alloy that offers good edge retention and toughness. It holds a sharp edge well for field work and can handle hard use without chipping easily, though it does require more maintenance than stainless steel—the tradeoff is superior performance for serious users.

Is this tomahawk good for hunting and camp use?

Yes. The Demko Hawk is designed for practical field work including processing game, splitting wood, and general camp tasks. Its 17.50 inch length makes it portable enough for hunting trips and backcountry outings.

What's the handle made of and why black nylon?

The handle is heavy-duty black nylon, which is durable, weather-resistant, and won't rot or split like wood. Nylon also holds up well to moisture, making it reliable in wet field conditions.
