The SOG Tactical Tomahawk is a useful tool for the outdoors. It is a compact axe, pick, or hammer. As one might expect, you can use this for anything that a normal hatchet would be used for. I have use the Tomahawk for cutting kindling, hammering in tent stakes, and removing stuck in the ground rocks. Even though it is called "tactical," I use it for more practical uses. I now leave it in with my camping equipment. No longer do I have to have a separate hammer and hatchet. It has held up well to everything I have thrown at it. The head is still tightly affixed to the handle and the edge is still relatively sharp. It might possibly be well suited for backpacking also.
The Tomahawk comes with a nylon sheath (basically a cover for the head of the tomahawk).
Specifications:
- Overall Length: 15.75”
