Cold Steel Trench Hawk Tactical Tomahawk - 3.5" 1055 Carbon Steel Blade, 19" Polypropylene Handle, Black

The Cold Steel Trench Hawk Tactical Tomahawk is a purpose-built hand tool that splits the difference between a traditional splitting maul and a compact tactical implement. Built with a 3.5" 1055 carbon steel blade and a 19" polypropylene handle, this tomahawk delivers the chopping and piercing capability you need in the field, at base camp, or as part of your tactical kit. At 29 ounces, it's substantial enough to move wood or clear brush without being so heavy that it becomes a burden during extended use or transport.

The design philosophy here is straightforward: a sharp cutting edge handles your general chopping and splitting tasks, while the wedge-style spike gives you options for prying, driving, or other tactical applications. The polypropylene handle is durable and won't absorb water or swell like wood, making it reliable in wet conditions. This is the kind of tool that earns its place in a truck bed, on a pack, or in a field kit because it actually does work instead of looking like it might.

Cold Steel built the Trench Hawk to take abuse. The 1055 carbon steel blade is a proven material in working tools—hard enough to hold an edge, tough enough not to chip on rock or bone if you're processing game or breaking camp. It comes with a Secure-Ex Sheath, so you're not fumbling with a loose blade or improvising storage.
