SOG Survival Hawk Tomahawk - 3" 2CR Black Steel Blade with Nylon Handle - Black

The SOG Survival Hawk is a compact, mission-ready tomahawk built for hunters, campers, and backcountry travelers who need a reliable chopping tool without the heft. At 12.1 inches overall and 19.5 ounces, it strikes the balance between portability and serious cutting power—light enough to pack on a hunt or lash to your pack, substantial enough to handle camp tasks from splitting kindling to driving stakes. The 3-inch 2Cr steel blade is hardened to Rc 47–49 and ground with a straight edge that bites cleanly through wood and stays reasonably maintainable in the field.

Beyond the blade, the Survival Hawk is stuffed with genuine survival features rather than gimmicks. The handle wraps in reflective paracord for visibility and emergency cordage; a ferrocerium rod is built into the handle for reliable spark-based fire-starting in wet conditions; and a nail puller/hammering head gives you leverage and striking options without adding bulk. The glass-reinforced nylon handle is tough and won't crack or splinter like wood in extreme cold, and the straight-edge design lets you choke up for control or extend your grip for power depending on the task.

Everything ships in a ballistic nylon sheath with a belt loop and snap closure, so you can secure it to your pack, belt, or kit without fumbling. The black hardcase finish resists corrosion, and the industrial engineering reflects SOG's reputation for building tools that work in the real world—not just on a showroom shelf. If you're outfitting a bug-out bag, base camp, or truck emergency kit, this is the kind of tool that earns its weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included with the SOG Survival Hawk?

The tomahawk comes with a ballistic nylon belt-loop sheath and snap closure for secure carry and storage.

Is this tomahawk light enough to pack on a hunt or overnight trip?

Yes. At 19.5 ounces and 12.1 inches long, the Survival Hawk is compact and lightweight enough for backcountry trips, hunting camps, or emergency kits while retaining the mass and edge geometry needed for real cutting and chopping work.

What is the paracord handle, and can I actually use it?

The handle is wrapped in reflective paracord, which serves dual purposes: it gives you grip in wet or cold conditions and provides emergency cordage you can unravel if needed. The reflective nature also helps with visibility in low light.

Can I use the built-in ferrocerium rod to start a fire?

Yes. The ferrocerium rod is integrated into the handle and produces reliable sparks for fire-starting, making it a genuine backup ignition tool rather than a decorative element.
