Model 2 Tomahawk
The American Tomahawk Model 2 is a compact bearded axe built for camp work, bushcraft and field use. The forged high-carbon-steel head splits kindling, limbs branches and drives stakes, while the beard, the curved extension that hangs below the main edge, gives you a longer cutting surface and a choke point near the head for fine carving. It ships on a straight hickory handle and drops into a hard molded sheath, so it rides safely in a pack or on a belt.
Features
- High-Carbon Steel Head — The forged head holds a keen edge and takes repeated impact, with the carbon content giving it the toughness for chopping and splitting.
- Bearded Edge Profile — The blade drops below the eye in a curved beard, adding cutting length and letting you grip right up near the head for controlled carving.
- Hickory Handle — American hickory is the traditional choice for striking tools because it absorbs shock and resists splitting under hard use.
- Blackened Finish — The head wears a dark protective coating that cuts glare and slows rust, leaving a bright honed bevel at the edge.
- Hard Molded Sheath — The included sheath grips the head with a retaining strap, covering the edge for safe carry and storage.
- Maker's Mark Head — The American Tomahawk logo is stamped into the cheek of the head.
- Lanyard Hole — A drilled hole through the butt of the handle takes a cord or wrist loop.
- Compact Camp Size — A short handle and light head make it easy to pack for hiking, hunting and survival kits.
Build And Carry
The head is seated on a straight-grain hickory handle, the standard wood for axes and hammers because it flexes under impact instead of cracking. The molded sheath wraps the head and locks it with a strap, so the edge stays covered and protected whether the tomahawk is stowed in a pack or carried on a belt. It suits campers, hunters and anyone building out a reliable field or bug-out kit.

This thing is the real deal!!!!Okay so I've been through a handful of hawks over the years Cold Steel, a couple no-name imports, even a vintage hatchet I picked up at a swap meet and the Model 2 hickory just sits different. The 1060 steel holds an edge like it's got something to prove. I used it on a four-day trip in the Smokies last fall, processed probably a dozen or so dead standing birch and a couple of stubborn green limbs for shelter poles, and it still shaved hair off my arm when I got home. The bearded edge is aggressive in the best way. You can choke up high right behind the beard for detail work and it gives you this weird amount of control you dont expect from something with that much bite. Hickory handle feels honest in the hand, way better than the polymer version I almost bought instead. Arrived sharp enough to scare me a little honestly.
Hickory handle absorbs shock better than I expected
Ships razor sharpHickory will need some oil/attention over time if you're in wet climates
