Product Description

Build a Nice Log Cabin Fire. Heck, Build a Nice Log Cabin Home.This two-handed camp axe with a hickory handle, hot forged blade, and hammerhead will make your life easier when you’re off the grid. Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical in Chattanooga, TN designed The Woods Chogan T-Hawk. A specialist in applying modern engineering to centuries old tool and weapon concepts, he is upping the ante once again with a new outdoor line of tomahawks that swing as big as the open wilderness where they’re found.The design for this T-Hawk evolved from the popular and original tactical tomahawk series. But it’s built for battle with a few old Doug Firs. The Woods Chogan is made from a solid chunk of 1055 carbon steel that is hot forged into a rock-solid head that features a hammer finish. With primary and secondary edge bevels that are flat ground, it cuts through timber like a beaver. A hammerhead is useful for pounding in nails and stakes for the tent you’ll put by your roaring fire. The thick wood handle is made in the USA from Tennessee hickory. It's comfortable in hand and sealed with a lacquer coat that adds durability whenever you're in the backcountry—in other words, all the time.Grab hold of the Woods Chogan T-Hawk and split some wood—like a cord’s worth.NOTE: Leather sheath is available as an after-market add-on. It is not included. But don’t worry. You won’t want to keep this baby wrapped up.Specifications:Blade Length: 3.50" (88.90 mm)Edge: Axe w/HammerSteel: 1055 Carbon SteelBlade Finish: Clear LacquerBlade Thickness: 0.52" (13.21 mm)Open Length: 19.00" (482.60 mm)Weight: 1.99 lb (0.9 kg)Handle: Tennessee HickoryStyle: Tomahawk

manage your expectations and know what you're buying and you won't be dissapointed
manage your expectations and know what you're buying and you won't be dissapointed. live had a few CRKT products and ive been pretty happy. The heads are heald in by friction. that's the way they are designed. they're made to keep the heads removable. that's a selling point, not a flaw. I saw someone complain that the handle was hollow, its not... its seasoned hickory, and the 2 I got are actually quite beautiful. hardwoods like hickory get lighter and harder as they age and season. again, selling point, not design flaw... out of the box one head was a little sharp, the other fairly blunt. when I looked a bit closer, both have a laquer on the heads and the duller one's edge had the laquer all the way over the edge. ima say this for the folks in the back... Axes are typically duller than knives!! Axes are meant for chopping with force, knives are meant to slice and cut. doesn't mean they can't do both but this is the way they're designed. they both definitely needed to be sharpened but I wasn't expecting a razor blade tomahawk right out the box... 5 bux each at my local hardware and they're now perfect. the sheaths fit a little wonky, tight in spots, loose in others, but fir a mass produced $20 axe sheath again, manage your expectations. I soaked one in warm water and put it on the hawk and now it fits perfect. when it dries completely i'll start treating it with some oil and it'll be fine for now. remember you're laying 50-80 bux for a mass produced product, not 150+ for a handmade piece. I gave it 4 stars because it's pretty much exactly what I expected. I didn't give it 5 because i just wish the hammer was a little flatter. it's just slightly rounded which means it'll likely glance off a tent stake of its not hit just right. really not a big deal tho

Style: ChoganPattern Name: Tomahawk AxeVerified Purchase
Needed another hawk and don’t have time to forge one myself or justify the cost of having one made.

Had been less than impressed by some others in this price range, including well known brands people swear by and a couple that cost more than the CRKT.

I’ve liked most of the CRKT products I’ve owned and I liked the look of this one. For the price it was at least worth a shot.

Design:
I prefer the a hawk with some bulk. While admittedly adding weight in a pack or belt if that’s how you carry it, a little weight helps with light chopping tasks. This one is just about right.

The hammer poll is adequate. If you need a bigger one consider a hatchet or a hammer.

The symmetrical eye is also a plus for me. The handles fit better and stay in place and new handles are slightly easier to make.

The edge is ok out of the box. It will work if you want to just put it to use but CRKT has left it up to the thevend user to put a finished edge on it that works for them.

One negative on the handle. The glossy finish needs to be sanded off. It’s pretty but can be slick when wet.

Aesthetics:
It’s a good looking hawk. Somewhat retro design with a modern feel to it. The handle looks better than most.

Not a huge fan of the finish but it’s a tool and the finish is durable.

Overall:
It’s great! Good for close up work like carving or food prep. Heavy enough for light firewood management and bushcrafting. Price is low enough you won’t be afraid to use it and it’s replaceable if lost or gifted.

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014
Style: ChoganPattern Name: Tomahawk AxeVerified Purchase
I've been looking at tomahawks off and on for years. It's always been a low priority on my list. I have axes and knives I use when camping (I think I get something every year to try out).
I started looking at 'hawks again and saw this, here in Amazon. I wanted something smaller to pack on the motorcycle for camping. At $40 I thought it was a good deal. Upon opening the box, I realized that it was a bit bigger than I imagined. It's only a bit smaller than my camp axe. Not a bad thing but just bigger than I expected.
The edge had a bit of a burr from grinding but a couple of swipes with a file fixed that quick, otherwise, a nice sharp edge. The underside of the cutting edge has been ground but not sharpened but the lower tip is SHARP. I managed to nick my finger while handling it. The hammer poll is a bit narrow but definitely useable. The handle is tapered and it has a lacquered finish that could be slick in wet or sweaty conditions but I had no trouble in testing.
I couldn't wait for the next camp trip so I tried it out on a small log in the yard. The 'hawk made short work of it. I feel that the added weight of the hammer poll aids in chopping. The blade bites right in and I made my way through in no time. Chopping with this thing is easy, I have medium size hands and the tapered handle is comfortable to grip. My friend has larger hands and says that it feels small and he fears it may slip during use.
I was weary of throwing my brand new tomahawk because it's my kind of luck the break something I just bought. First throw, THUMP, it hits the tree on the top of the head and falls to the ground, no problem. I take one step forward and, THWACK, the tip of the blade is driven in deep. Again, the weight if the hammer poll drives the blade deep into the wood. I can't help but smile when I do that.
All in all, I feel I made a good purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars middle weight and works well) Design with good cutting surface
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014
Style: ChoganPattern Name: Tomahawk AxeVerified Purchase
Let me start of by saying that this product is a 3.5 stars and not really a 4 stars for me, but you don't get that option on Amazon. I don't post a lot of reviews, but sometimes I feel that potential customers need to know a little more about the product than they might get by reading some of the other reviews posted on this product. So here it goes. I hope you find this helpful.

Pro's:
Head weight (heavier than a trail hawk, but not as heavy as an axe, middle weight and works well)
Design with good cutting surface, and it comes with a hammer pull for getting work done
Not a novelty item, but appears well built for work
Head fitted to the handle by sliding down onto handle and banged until tight against the handle

Con's
Varnish or some sort of finish on the head
Varnish or some sort of finish on the handle
Blade Dull out of the box

Now let me state that I am a tomahawk fan. I think that this tool is the best compromise going into the woods for getting work done between an small axe and a hawk I will take a heavier head hawk. The hawk is not as heavy as an axe, has enough mass to cut limbs, branches, saplings, small trees. If you break a handle you can improvise another one in the woods in the matter of minutes and your back in business. You just cannot do that as easily with an axe or hatchet. The CRKT has a heavier head than say a Trail Hawk or lighter tomahawk. The lighter the tomahawk the faster you can move with it and throw it if you needed to. Yes, a tomahawk can be used as a throwing or other style of weapon, but personally I don't fancy myself as Mel Gibson in Patriot opened a can of whoop butt with my tomahawk, to me it is a woodsmans tool... But if your looking for a weapon with some utility as a tool then lighter would be better. If your geared more toward the chopping and cutting end of business then consider the heavier head weight of the Chogan tomahawk so that it does more work for you. The CRKT has a heavier head which I like and will do a fine job cutting. I also have the Cold Steel Pipe Hawk which I like, but what I dislike about Cold steel hawks is that the heads are painted and edge is dull. You end up having strip them and rework them, but for the price it is a good tool. So I decided to give the CRKT Chogan a try. It looked like I wouldn't have to spend as much time reworking the tool to make it useful and I could spend more time customizing it for my own uses. Also others had stated this tool is made in the USA. It is NOT. The handle says it is made of USA Hickory, but the tool is made in Taiwan. So don't be mislead by the way it is listed on Amazon. This is not a USA made tool. Secondly the part about not having to rework the tool isn't quite true either. The tomahawk head and handle are varnished with something to protect and finish them. That might be nice if all you want to do is look at this thing, but I want it for work. So the handle needs to be sanded and oiled, and the head looks like it too will need to be stripped and oiled. That is part of the mess I didn't want to deal with concerning Cold Steel products, and yet it appears I will have to do the same here on this hawk. So I am a little disappointed and hence the lower rating. I paid a little more for the CRKT than I would for a Cold Steel for some of the advantages of not having to rework the tool before starting to customize it the way I want it and I will still end up having to undo some this to the Chogan anyway...

The head design of the Chogan looks good. I will have to say the weight feels fine for cutting work. The hammer pull side is a little narrow and could stand to be slightly wider. Handle length is 19 inches and feels with this weight it could stand a 21" handle and is something I will probably look to do to my hawk later as I rework this tool.

Besides a good belt knife, a hawk is right there in the category of my most used and versatile tools. I prefer the hawk over the hatchet or axe because of it's versatility. The CRKT appears to be a solid tool. My issues are with the finish on this tool and the somewhat misleading description that this is a USA made tool. Overall I will use and enjoy this hawk and will make it my own. I think my next hawk will be something that I have made for me. If I add up the time and effort it takes to rework these tools is often in the league of what it costs to buy a nice hawk in the first place. I guess I never seem to learn! :-D I get lured by a decent price and think that won't be too hard... And the next thing I know I spent far more time, effort and money than if I just bought one the way I wanted it in the first place... One of these days I will get it I guess! Just something to think about and judge by how much your time, energy, effort, supplies are worth to you.

The reality here for me and your mileage may vary, but if I am going to have to rework the Chogan by stripping it all down to remove lacquers, and finishes and, and then finishing it like I would have to do with the Cold Steel products then I really didn't get any advantage by buying the CRKT over the Cold Steel. I like this hawk and I will use it. It looks like it will be a good tool. But if cost is your chief consideration and you want something in this same weight class of this tool then the Cold Steel Pipe Hawk is less expensive and will do the job, and with a little work you can make it your own. The CRKT Chogan looks like you get to avoid some of that work by the way it looks and is described, but no, not really. So if I had to judge between the two I think I would give the nod to the Cold Steel Pipe Hawk since I really didn't get the advantages I was looking for. Plus the Pipe Hawk already has the longer 21" handle which just feels better for a tool this weight. If it comes down to appearances then I would give the nod to the CRKT. I also like that the CRKT head is not bolted on with a flimsy screw like the Cold Steel. CRKT appears to understand how this tool was meant to work in the first place.

Summary: The CRKT appears to be a well designed tool, it could stand to be a bit wider in the hammer pull, but functionally ti appears to be well built. It has lacquer or some finish on the handle and head that I feel needs to be removed, and the blade is dull out of box so be prepared to put some work into this tool. The cost is more than the Cold Steel products, but it does not appear at least to me to have any real advantages over the cheaper Cold Steel Pipe Hawk given I have to strip, clean, and finish both the Cold Steel and the CRKT. After all of that it then starts to boil down to price and the Cold Steel is less expensive. If your new to hawks and have not decided if the hawk is right for you and what you want to do with it then these lower cost hawks are fantastic ways to get your hands on working tools that will give you a feel if the hawk is going to be one of those tools your going to carry with you and use. I think in the long run if you know the hawk is a tool you prefer then it is probably a better move to just step up and buy a tool already made the way you wan it. I think that is what I am going to do with my next hawk is get one custom made for me. Between the Cold Steel Pipe Hawk and the CRKT Chogan I think the Cold Steel is a better buy as far as function and price given the other things that I personally feel needs to be done with these tools before I would use them.

One last thing I want to point out and I will post a separate review for this, but the CRKT sheath for this hawk is HORRIBLE! Do not waste your money. All of the fasteners are PLASTIC SNAPS, and the sheath just does not fit this tool. The strap on the hammer pull side is almost impossible to snap, and looks like the leather needs to be custom cut to fit the contour of the curved opening between the hammer pull and handle. So this might be able to be tweaked to fit better and possible not make it almost impossible to fasten. The strap that goes around the handle is too short and will not snap. The snap makes the leather band rigid and it will not lay flat and will not snap. The sheath was a complete waste of money and I will be looking for someone who does leather work to make a quality sheath for this tool if I intend to carry it into the woods with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good axe, but not $90 good...

Style: ChoganPattern Name: Tomahawk AxeVerified Purchase
Finally had a chance to take it out on a backpack camp trip with me. I do like the axe, but it's not that much better than my cheapy Fiskars from Canadian Tire that I used to use. I thought I'd spoil myself and get a good camp axe. When it arrived it had a distinct burr on the blade that took a fair bit of time to clean up and get a good edge on, I can understand that they don't want to ship a razor sharp blade through the mail but it was a bit disappointing to have to sit down with my stones as soon as I opened the box. The fact that you have to buy (or make) a sheath for it is a definite bummer though.
Pros:
Take down handle makes it easier to pack
Light weight of total unit is good
Hammer end is very handy to have around camp
Holds an edge very well
Chops like a mutha... (see cons)

Cons:
Head does slide loose on handle and it is a bit slippery to hold.
(Think I will try to sand it down as others have mentioned)
Handle almost seems to be too short to me, it's in no man's land between a 14" hatchet and a 24" camp axe and is awkward to use as a 2 handed axe. The 19" handle makes it a very long hatchet though.
Splitting lodgepole pine with it was problematic, it would bite deep but not open up a split in the wood so it took a lot of prying the head back and forth to actually split a section. (Chops trees down like a mutha though!)

Overall, I like the tool and plan to continue using it. The head is quality steel and holds it's edge very well, I don't think I'd have to take a stone with me for a short trip which is a bonus. I may build a longer handle (about 24") and try it with that, I'd be willing to give up some portability for a full axe handle swing.

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer Campingaxt, die optisch etwas Besonderes ist und eine sehr hohe Qualität im Gebrauch hat.

Dieser Tomahawk ist klassisch traditionell und funktional designt und keines dieser albernen Zombie-Apokalypse-Tactical"-Modelle mit wilden Zacken in Tarnanstrich. Dieser Tomahawk konzentriert sich aufs Wesentliche.

Die Axt kann gut Dinge spalten.
Die Hammerseite kann gut Holz zertrümmern oder auch Pfosten in den Boden hauen.
Mit der unteren Axtpitze kann man Dinge halten/ziehen oder auch hacken dann und aufbrechen.
Der Schaft ist aus Hickory in farblos lackiert und kann kurz oder lang gefasst werden.
Darüberhinaus kann man sie auch werfen (wenn man's kann).
Das Gewicht ist akzeptabel für längeren einhändigen Gebrauch.

Sicherlich gibt es Baumarkt-Modelle, die deutlich günstiger und auch haltbar sind, aber das ist dann eine ganz andere Klasse.

Absolut herausragend war die Lieferung. Trotz Corona-Lockdown Lieferung in geradeeinmal 22 Stunden, was 1 bis 4 Tage eher war als versprochen. Noch nie erlebt sowas.

=> kann ich nur empfehlen.

Great product for the money.

-Very solid feel

-Head seats perfectly on the shaft

-Sharp enough for use out of the box

-Very comfortable and balanced in the hand. You can tell that some thought was put into the design.

Dislikes:

-Handle is not as dark or rich looking as the photos

-Handle finish is sticky and built up thick. I am sanding it off in favour of an oil finish.

Overall: It's a steal for the price. Very good tool in a nice box. I'm expecting to get YEARS of use from it. You cant go wrong with one of these, but it's not a luxury item and that's just fine.

Super für unterwegs!
Das Chogan hat genau die richtige Größe.
Ich benutze es beim Angeln.
Den Stiel nutze ich als Totschläger und bei wirklich großen Fischen 80cm Zander oder 1m Hecht nutze ich den Axtkopf um nach dem Kehlschnit die Wirbelsäule zu durchtrennen.
Alles ohne Probleme.
Auch das spalten von Holz klappt super .
