Take my advice, I've carried a tomahawk. One with a short handle under 16" or has no weight in the head is not as useful. You need the longer handle to get more speed into the swing. You need weight in the head to put power into the swing. Another hint, keep the blade sharp. So pick a tomahawk of decent carbon steel not stainless.

@hartzogLovesScience4 жыл бұрын
@@voodoo7008 I hear you. But physics states F=ma, so the force delivered will increase with increase acceleration, not speed. But force will decrease with decreased mass. So there is a balanced. But you are right in what a given person can handle. I've know many baseball players who did very well with a heavy bat, while others did the job with a lighter bat. So, you are right that I should not leave out the person in the equation. But, as was stated in the video, physics trumps their claim.

Okay 00:31 number 1 you said it has skeleton built frame to eliminate top heaviness, but in a ax, war, hammer, tomahawk, or hatchet that is where you want the weight to be. It helps make cuts deeper and hammering easier because of the weight. If you want something light you get a knife for cutting shaving or slicing but a ax or hatchet is made for chopping and or hammering which requires weight to be more efficient.

Haven't used Gerber since they sold to Fiskars in the 80s. Edges chip and rust far to easily for any use in an amphibious setting. For reliability and budget, the SOG Tactical Tomahawk weighs in at $50 or less on Amazon - throws well, but the cutting head is small. It's still my go-to bday gift for a platoon member or going away, etc. I did check out Hogue (the 1st one), to support a fellow Recon man - but every hawk they have is out of stock. CRKT also out of stock.
