"I got one of these Tomahawks as a gift and it’s very cool! The edge was dull, which is no big deal. Every blade I get I sharpen and hone anyway. In reading these review, I can’t believe so many morons are complaining because the handle broke. It’s freakin’ nylon reinforced fiberglass, not Hickory! Of course it broke when you throw it, it wasn’t made to be thrown! Enjoy it for what it is and stop trying to be Daniel Boone!"
"This axe was sharp enough to shave with right out of the box. Tt flies amazingly and its everything I was hoping it would be, and more. I just wish it had a hard case instead of the cloth nylon, otherwise this is a great buy. I will be taking mine on every tour of duty I ever serve."
"The m48 is a nice looking tomahawk BUT, is cheaply made... Anyone planing to use this as an actual tool should shy away from this product. Within 2 hrs of abuse I broke the spike clean off. "it's still in the tree I threw this hawk at" and blew apart the handle chopping into a 4-5" branch of dead wood (maple). Simply put, it's a great item for looking at and that's about it."
"I am very impressed when i first pulled this hawk out of the box. As the pictures showed the spike looked sharp and thin and this worried me. However the spike had perfect thickness and had a slightly keen edge. Sharp edges on the spike make less versatile and durable as the spike is meant for impalement not slicing. Hawk is perfectly balanced and will make a great addition under my store counter next to my buddy Colt"
"just got the m48 hawk, when i open the box there was only one thing i could say, and that was, bad***! this tactical hawk out does anything i seen on the market, best design, best balance, best handling. if your looking for hawk for self defense this is the one. you don't want to be on the receiving of this hawk! Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments. We have updated the review to reflect the appropriate materials."
"I was surprised at how beefy this hawk is! It looks thinner and sharper in the photo, but to my very pleasant surprise, it's nice and thick. The spike point is way better than I thought it would be, as it appeared very thin, sharp and maybe brittle in the picture. The spike is just about right in the girth department. Nice weight to the head to help deliver the necessary energy to get the job done. THIS ONE goes in my patrol bag for sure."
"This hawk is Awesome, well worth the 35 bucks. Well made and very cool looking. It has a four inch cutting edge and a very pointy spike. I wouldn't take it camping because of its aus6 steel, but for combat or display along with the low price it gets five stars."
"The M48 is just a thing of visceral/primal beauty out of the box, Great heft on the head and the fiberglass shaft feels great in your grasp, the shaft wasn't too blunt and stubby like ones from others. I hacked on some 2 3/4 branches and it did the job but not as good as a Swedish Axe, but for a tomahawk, I was merely christening it. I also had the cheap hatchet, the one on this site for 8.99 and used it on the cut down branches and it busted the handle in two! The only complaint is that I feel it could have come a little more sharper to match it's visual aesthetic. But aside from that easily curable symptom, It has more quality features than alot of the so called "Tomahawks" featured on this site. It seems that United Cutlery is the only way to go with edged weapons. This should be in every tomahawker's fist. This is the only PRACTICAL tomahawk that I have found worth mentioning."
"I got this today and it's quite nice. A sturdy, well made version of the famous Roger's Rangers hawks. I did dress the bit edge a little but not much - I just like them sharper than most do. The weight and balance are great - but that's why we buy tomahawks, isn't it? Be aware that the spike is not "sharpened on both edges" at all. It is ground on both edges, but both the top and bottom of the spike have flat edges over 1/32 of an inch wide. As I'm not planning any close combat fighting with it, that's not an issue to me - but if it is to you, be prepared to put this hawk on the grinder for a while, and to finish dressing up the edge after. (For my purposes the spike was what was important.) The sheath opens at the bottom - I don't really like that, but it doesn't mean anything negative about the product. (Design maybe, but not the product.) I'll be making a replacement sheath more to my liking."
"Solid piece! Well designed and lightweight. Serves many different purposes from camping to yard work and personal defense. Definitely worth its weight on my bug out bag!"
