The Cold Steel Trail Tomahawk is a lightweight, frontier-inspired chopping tool built for hunters, campers, bushcrafters, and anyone who needs a reliable axe for camp tasks and backcountry work. Weighing just 23.6 oz, this tomahawk combines a sharp 2.25-inch carbon steel blade with a hickory handle that's easy to pack and quick to deploy—whether you're lashing it to your pack, securing it to your gear, or tucking it into your belt.
Cold Steel engineered the Trail Tomahawk to do real work. The 1055 carbon steel blade chops and splits efficiently, while the hardened hammer poll on the back lets you drive nails, pound stakes, and handle the full range of camp chores without reaching for a separate tool. That dual-purpose head makes it genuinely useful in the field, not just a specialty implement that gathers dust.
This tomahawk appeals to survivalists, preppers, and outdoors-minded folks who value versatility and won't compromise on durability. The hickory handle is tough and classic—proven material that's been trusted for generations. At under 24 ounces with a total length of around 22 inches, the Trail Hawk splits the difference between a tactical tool and a backcountry essential: light enough to carry all day, capable enough to handle serious chopping and utility work.
