>>470687Yo fellow /out/lander, sorry for the delay. The package was held up due to hazardous weather conditions. Anyway, first impression is this thing is pretty! But also, pretty dull, I had a good edge on it after about 10 minutes of filing. the good news is the head is fit perfectly to the handle and that normally is the big pain In the ass with these things.
I took it out to chop some stuff, it doesn't penetrate as well as the cold steel frontier hawk but it's better than the sog tactical tomahawk and the colt x-1. It does split woods pretty well though (not that anyone is actually gonna use it for that)
.
Overall I'd give it a 10/10 for looks and a 7/10 for functionality. It's nice, but something this heavy should make up for the weight in chopping ability, and it doesn't. The cold steel frontier hawk with its narrower blade profile is the better choice, and much more manageable while its at it.
