 Its going to be great March 4, 2010
N. P. Watson (New York City USA)
I purchased this tomahawk to live in my urban bug out bag. I live in a major US city, and if I need to get out of town in a hurry, this tool will help me get there. The spike on the back end would be very useful for gaining entry to (or getting out of) buildings, and could also be useful in search and rescue operations. I also do a lot of hiking and backpacking and have tested this tool in some heavy wood cutting/splitting tasks and it performed admirably. The blade is very sharp out of the box and holds its edge quite well. I have to say that did manage to chip it a bit by letting it go into the dirt, but that can (and probably will) happen to any steel. A few passes with the sharpening stone got it right out and it was good as new again.
The hawk is very well balanced and feels good in your hand. It's relatively light weight means you have to use a lot more muscle power than you would with a heavier head, but the trade off is you don't have to lug all that extra weight around with you all day. The nylon handle seems quite strong and secure in bare hands in dry conditions. It got a little slippery while wearing gloves. One previous reviewer mentioned wrapping the handle with some type of grip tape which would be perfect. I would also recommend adding a lanyard. Overall, I think this is a great tool that will excel when I need it to.
 Marginal, Light Weight Tomahawk Easy to Break March 3, 2010

I own the SOG Fusion Tomahawk along with several of the Cold Steel Tomahawks. The SOG Fusion Tomahawk is too light and flimsy. Drilling several holes in the blade of the hawk is a really dumb idea - it lightens the hawk and makes it weaker and easier to bend/break. I don't care for the plastic handle - it is easy to break and has a lousy grip. At a minimum, it needs 550 cord wrapped around the handle as the grooved grip is very uncomfortable. Wood handles are better. If you need a spiked tomahawk, get one of the Cold Steel Vietnam Tomahawks. Of all of my hawks, I like the Cold Steel Rifleman's Hawk the best.
I would not use this for combat.

Amazon will not let me put the video in, so go to youtube type in Sog Fusion under handbook live. The video says it all.
It obviously would not take the abuse that my K5 tactical spike does, but I see no breakage with this product. . It will go through cinder blocks, bricks, I slammed it through a truck hood. A 63 ford truck hood to be exact. It will knock out glass and clear the sill. It will chop 2x4's in half. It would be a very useful entry tool, (simply drive the spike next to the door latch and kick). It will puncture tires so a suspect could not get away in a car. It will split smaller pieces of green wood. The hawk face is quite sharp and maintains a good edge even when chopping edgewise into heavy gauge sheet metal. The face is not down swept as a fighting hawk would be. But it would still hold it's own. With proper technique applied you could chop into the spine the throat and still hook and disarm an opponent. The spike is not sharpened all of the way around. It has more of a chisel edge that is great for chopping holes in cinder blocks to have firing holes to engage enemy targets. I have had no problem with using this product as it was intended. Remember this is a breacher/ extraction tool. You wouldn't use a screw driver as a hammer would you? Don't answer that. It held up very well to my abuse. To me this is a self defense weapon and tactical breeching tool. The lightness of the handle and it being head heavy gives it a balance and allows you to get a decent swing from the hawk. This is definitely not a slashing type of hawk. To be a good slasher the hawk face needs to have a belly or down sweep. In the future from Sog I would like to see a better head design. Get rid of the holes, give us the full weight and a better head attachment. But let's be honest. If you want an axe by an axe. If you want a thrower by a one piece Gil Hibben. This stands up well to the everyday challenges presented to it. If your handle broke? Send it back and get another one. The Chinese QC is iffy at best. Americans should know that by now. Send it back and get another one or order the American tomahak CQC $295.00 or in my oppinion the best tomahawk on the market today is the K5 tactical Spike $199.00. In my opinion ( former Marine) 14 years. I have used tomahawks throughout my life. In service and out. This is a very decent hawk for the price. I would recommend this as a entry level hawk to anyone interested in owning one but does not have 200 or 300 dollars to spend. You get the same features in the hawk that the higher priced ones have.
