## Description

Great Product

Review: Great value! - These are about the best you can get without going custom. Steel is good and the hickory handle is also outstanding. But best of all you can customize these to your hearts content without making them less in any way. I have several of these in different styles and got this one for a present for my son's birthday, my first Frontier Hawk. After modifying it to look allot like the first pic, remove finish on handle, remove paint/finish on head, carefully custom fit head, cold blue, stain handle, several coats Tung Oil, rebevel edge and mirror polish, leather wrap handle and done. I use the others for camping but I liked the fit and balance and feel of this one so much I ordered another one for me. Great tool, you can throw them with care and practice but they are a wonderful outdoor tool. I something give them as presents and they become wallhangers but ones you can use. Light and very useful especially if you have things to do with wood. You can even forget your camping knife and just use one of these, just remember the sharpener. Choke up on it and it will do everything a knife will. The steel is good enough to take a good edge and hold it and resharpens fairly well. All in all I cannot say enough good about them especially considering the price. Awesome tool for fires either at home or in the woods and also a great whack the bad guys tool too.
Review: Fantastic simple design and surprising quality - 1st off u have to sand fit any hawk head, especially from cold steel. Look up how to do this and only use sandpaper ur first time and only do a a little at a time, especially as u get close. There’s a screw that shouldn’t be used, as it will destroy & Split the handle w any real use plus Puts the head and blade alignment off center. If u properly fit the handle & head it will fit & stay perfectly, not damage the handle, and the 2 can still be easily separated for packing or the handle can be replaced w a branch properly whittled to fit. Anyways, got the hawk head fitted perfectly and the blade fully sharpened w a puck in less than an hour. It’s light balances well, has a decent size edge etc. and seems perfect for a lite hiking camping tool that also offers pretty decent protection from black bears panthers etc Anyways, it’s simple and CS’s lightest traditional style wooden handled hawk, and probably their lightest hawk which Is a good thing. Believe the trail hawk & Nordic hawk are the 2nd and 3rd lightest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid throwing tomahawk
*by P***A on January 21, 2014*

I bought this tomahawk for the specific purpose of throwing it. While there were many other selections available (including many other Cold Steel models), the Frontier Hawk was one of the lightest and cheapest tomahawks on the markets. At one and fourth (1 1/4) pounds this tomahawk is good weight for younger throwers and for those who want to throw from a longer range. Pros: Low Cost Solid build Hex screw in back of head Light weight Con: Difficult to find cheap replacement handles 22 inch handle (Perhaps a pro?) No sheath Opening the box up, my first impression was "Oh s***, this is pretty cool", my second impression was "Why is there a sticker that said "American Company" when the tomahawk head said "Made in Taiwan"? Unlike many other people, I don't mind foreign made goods as long as they are quality. American companies usually make quality goods, and other countries usually import rubbish, but in this case, the Frontier Hawk is a solid quality. No complaints. The quality factor is important when throwing. I've thrown this think for many weeks now. I've missed a few times and It has hit rock and concrete a few times. Instead of the metal cracking, shattering, or doing any other number of bad things, the hawk was merely nicked. Most of them are shallow and superficial and don't affect its sticking potential. Another important quality factor can the Frontier Hawk hold an edge? While throwing hawks shouldn't be too sharp, I've sharpen the hawk to see if it can hold a edge. First, the metal is soft enough for a good metal file and wetstone to work as oppose to cheaper "stainless steels" which are too hard for such tools. After a few passes with each tool, the hawk can get quite a sharp edge. Sharp enough to cut paper or skin if one isn't careful. In fact sharper then what is needed in an tomahawk. Now, I don't know how long the edge will last, which is the true measure of a good tool, under regular use and since I am not using this for wood cutting I can't judge that. If I had to guess, I would say the edge would not last too long. Perhaps a few uses then it will have to be sharpen again. This is not bad for a tomahawk under 30 dollars. One interesting feature is a hex screw in the back of the Tomahawk head. This screw can be twisted to lock the head in place. It's a nice feature allowing for the tomahawk to actually be used in as an axe or a weapon. It also allows for the head to placed lower on the handle where it wouldn't normally be able to go. I wouldn't suggest using the hex key when throwing. Having a head that can "move" is nice when you miss and hit a rock. The head can come free and not bite into the rock like it would have it was locked in. Another factor is that if the hex screw will eat into the wooden handle. After a while there will be a big indent in the wooden handle where the hex has dug into it. Thus I would recommend using the hex screw as little as possible. The tomahawk comes with a 22 inch handle instead of the standard 19 inch. I don't actually like this length. It makes the tomahawk unwieldy in all but a few applications. If you were chopping down tree you may want that extra hand hold, but otherwise it gets in the way. Using it for fighting feels awkward. Normally hawks can either be held at the bottom of the handle, the middle of the handle, or all the way choked up on the head. The 22 inch handle makes all these positions feel weird. At the bottom, the tomahawk is unwieldy and hard to control. At the middle, there's almost a foot of extra handle pointing towards you. Every swing has to be calculate to avoid having this extra bit hit you. Choking the head is almost impossible. When it comes to throwing the extra inches don't really help. While it can give you more power for longer throws, it also makes several throws impossible. Close ups throws are impossible because the handle hits the target before the hawk has time to turn. Low throws are also impossible because the handle hits the ground before the head can dig in. I would suggest just chopping off the extra inches and making it a 19 inch handle. A lot more practical. Another factor with handles, is that it is difficult to find cheap replacement handles. Cold Steel offers handles for 10 dollars + shipping. Other tomahawks will offer replacement handles for 5 dollars or less. This tomahawk is only 24 dollars. I almost want to just buy another one instead of paying for two or three handles. There are other generic brands out there, but there's no guarantee that they'll fit the Frontier Hawk. It's definitely something to take into account. Finally this doesn't come with a sheath. I knew this ahead of time, but I also saw that most of Cold Steels other knives, swords and even tomahawks come with sheaths. It feels almost strange that the Frontier Hawk wouldn't come with one. Especially considering how sharp it can be made. That being said, I did find one on Ebay for five dollars and free shipping. No big compliant then. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into throwing tomahawks. This is a great light weight tomahawk. Because of its cheap cost and solid build, you don't have to baby the blade to keep it from messing up. Nicks can be easily removed and it can be made sharp if wish. The hex nut feature is an added benefit, though the some what expensive and long handle definitely isn't. Over all worth the buy.
