An Australian Tomahawk for self-defense?

[@markadkins9290]

Nothing sweeter than a nice tomahawk

[@LLSO4998]

I've had a tactical Tomahawk for years, It was given to me my by one of my most Tactical friends, who I have been in action with on the mean streets. I carry it in the door pocket of my SUV, Living in South Louisiana I have always had a fear of going into a Canal , Bayou or swamp in my car and being able to break the window to escape as well as carrying a sharp blade to cut seatbelts. It is also handy in my car door if I need to defend myself. I think these Tomahawks are an often overlooked defense and survival tool . Again Jason Thanks for your informative and entertaining videos. Be Safe, LL

[@USA-Self-Defense-Centers]

Excellent video! I wouldn't wanna be on either busines end of that!

[@rylandfoster1]

Halfbreed Blades have been around for years. When I was shipping for my hawk I had my eye on thier products, but ultimately went with Spyderco's WarriorHawk. RMJ Tactical is another big name in high end tactical blades, and they are USA based. I don't know if it was deliberate, but you were using the wrong end for the testing. Basically everything you did, save maybe the mirror, should have been done with that devastating spike. That is the whole reason for the spike, penetrative hard surfaces with minimal force. The blade end is usually relegated to hacking jobs where a deep penetrating spike would be less then ideal, like breaching a door or a wall

I've carried a Schrade SCAXE5 Tactical Hatchet, Gerber LMFII and a magnesium handle folding saw that takes reciprocating saw blades from a tree pruning to metal and ceramic blades for many years in my kit. The difference is the Schrade has a crowbar at the bottom of the handle. Plus it has a hole in the handle that I can attach a rope to and use it as a grappling hook. By the way if you're hitting your car window always aim for the corner because if you hit the window in the middle it will just bounce back. Since 2018 a US Federal Regulation states that all cars must have shatterproof safety glass on all four sides. That's why sometimes when you see people hitting the middle of a window it just bounces back.

LOVE IT! Would like one with a longer handle. U Tube NO LONGER referring comments, won't get any reply's. BUGGERS!!!! m

[@luisraya8734]

Im satisfied. nice video.

[@mannysilva3444]

I have a SOG Fasthawk. It's "okay" but I sure like that curved Kali styled hawk. A good `hawk is a must have.

[@mannysilva3444]

Wow. Apparently a license plate makes a good field-expedient stab resistant armor plate!

[@flipfloppingwithMike]

Okay, Jason...you convinced me. I want one. It seems like it held up remarkably well, as I personally would have wanted a different blade material like Cryo D2 instead of plain D2. However, it seems to work just fine.

[@learning1646]

Very nice sir 👍

[@johnnybgood-ws5cu]

I live tomahawks, ty J., !!!

[@stevenlowe3245]

The back spike is more of a danger to the user under adrenaline and grappling. Get a hawk with a hammer back like a CRKT. Top quality too.

[@brianvannorman1465]

Very nice. Yet, I will stick with what I have got.

[@NemoOhd20]

To punch through metal or laminated glass, the small point is the way.

[@graywind4326]

You can get cheap sog ones and toss them if you beak them. It can do as much damage as that thing. The good ones are used for breaching things more than fighting.

[@CPPeterson-u5c]

I have my hatchets and axes custom welded. They never break but sometimes they bend a little.

[@AdamBeitsinger]

I agree with the special effect on the impact it's very annoying actually hurts my eyes

[@jonahakivahbenavraham]

Those guys are pricey. I know you should get good gear and not cheap crap but could you do a few vids on working stiff priced gear. Thanks Sensei Hanson

[@wassermutt7805]

Estwing hatchet. you can get about 10 of them for the price of that unit. Not as nice, probably not as strong, but you can litter 10 of them around your house, car, yard, etc.

[@RA-tj8lv]

Why did you not try the other end?❤

[@danielbridgewater3444]

The Comanche in me wants one.

[@juliochingaling5824]

Great Tomahawk. Great video Jason. Blessings.

[@charlespratt8663]

Roofer's(shingling) hatchet. Doesnt attract the same unwanted attention.

[@DemchenkoDmytro]

Well, that's if you're attacking or defending against a car with an axe. Either way, it's interesting and fresh.

[@johnnolen8338]

Very nice! Though I prefer my tomahawks be equipped with digital terrain following navigation, and a line swappable choice of conventional high explosive or nuclear warheads ... it tends to make home invaders think twice before picking my house as a target. 🤠

[@nickjenkins1663]

Nice, blade.

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for the video. I'm disappointed with what a terrible place that Australia has become and how horrible the government is. That will help me resist the urge to buy one of these. There's a CRKT tomahawk that I still want if I'm ever going to buy another tomahawk. I still have one tomahawk from a company that I no longer support. That one will have to cover my tomahawk needs.

[@TheGlobalTravelr]

Thankfully I took the time (when I was younger) to travel throughout Australia including walkabouts into the outback.

[@scottchapman3555]

I have a Viking axe pizza cutter from Amazon, sharp and wicked as hell, hope I never use it other than cutting Pizza!

[@pepelemoko01]

I have one from Aldi, one side is the blade the other a hammer.

[@JettyRead]

Good video Jason thanks.

[@MazAzif]

Can you say what self defense tools for Europe is good?

[@slingshotwarrrior8105]

Excellent tomahawk, bro!

[@nadnavlis240]

I don't care for tomahawks for self defense unless that's the only thing you have. They have a lot of limitations and are far easier to disarm than a knife. They are handy to have in the bush.

[@sickjohnson]

Looks a lot like a good copy of an American brand (RMJ)...cool.

[@pyeitme508]

Yes tomahawk axes 🪓

[@stormythelowcountrykitty7147]

I read too fast and thought you were saying “Tomahawk missile for self defense”.

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Outstanding

[@davidautrey9914]

Have busted up cars with an axe before, when busting up cars, less fires from cutting thru carpet, gloves also cut down on blisters, I'm wondering about the handle material and attachment.

[@utcnc7mm]

Sticker shock!

[@podsmpsg1]

Expensive though. I have an American Tomahawk Company Trench Club. I've had it about 3 years now. I like it, hope I never have to.

[@christopherhartline1863]

[@christopherhartline1863]

I think there's a company called, "american tomahawk ". They made tomahawks for MACV-SOG

[@Themeshoots]

D2 refers to the type of steel in the axe.

[@TheRealRomansThirteen]

I know your a knife junkie. Wingard Wearables does conciled carry tomahawks you gotta see his stuff.

[@robertvondarth1730]

That’s a Boarding Axe. Cars… don’t fight back

[@geneevans4699]

Like boards, nunchucks dont fight back.

[@robertanthony35]

Tomahawk for 'self-defense'? If you are ever attacked by a junk yard car you are ready!! Well, James Reece likes them!!

[@Kristina-cw2do]

Niiiice!

[@mspivey123]

Why are you blocking us from seeing the impact strikes? Very annoying, almost unwatchable.

[@fleetcenturion]

For $465, it better perform!

[@HypocriticYT]

I always liked Eastwing hatchets and they don’t look tactical.

[@Alsayid]

I'm inclined to see tomahawks as a gimmick, like a Rambo knife.

[@NemoOhd20]

physics disagrees. with you. The handle is leverage no knife could equal.

[@arun_kumar0]

why do you always put an effect while hitting something... we need to see the impact, not the product...

[@caritas8984]

Nice! But sheesh, about $400(!). I think I'll have to wait for a China knockoff.

[@horseheadkid]

(*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) lol, i live in melbourne australia and i no idea what to give a male friend for his birthday in july so i gave him a tactical hatchet. his eyes lit up like a toddler seeing its first magic trick

[@pinkyellowblue007]

I would be a buyer around 100 bucks, the price of these and RMJ tomahawks is idiotic.

[@bobspamail]

The impact special effect is annoying and unnecessary.

Yeah, no practical civilian defensive use at all. Silly video.

[@sanchez-C137]

Yeah.. well he seems to be demoing it as a blunt force weapon like a bat or baton which is clearly not the best use for it. There's a whole bunch of great war/combat techniques for axes that have been proven in battle for thousands of years so without knowledge and training of those, I would agree that this is not very effective.
