A full tang is metal all the way down. Sure, the composite handles are tough, but eventually it WILL break. Replacable, but still a pain.

All great points, James. Thanks for adding your thoughts on these two. The Zippo and Gerber Tomahawk would definitely be somewhere on the list of best hatchets. We’ll look to carry them in the near future because, like you said, they are really extraordinary.

I’ve seen a few uneducated people with ugly scars for not know how to deal with the “spike” opposite the hatchet blade.

Even though you don’t currently carry them on the website, you do have access to the brands, so I am sure you’ll be offering the Zippo 4-in-1 Woodsman and the Gerber Downrange Tomahawk in the near future. The Zippo Woodsman is the ultimate “camper axe”, featuring an suitable axe head, 15″ bow saw, tent stake puller, and decent mallet head.

The Gerber Tomahawk is not quite so user-friendly, and in fact would need to have the axe head sharpened properly to make it a useful hatchet, but is in my opinion the best “survival tomahawk” on the market today, combining a hatchet head, mallet, and effective pry par in to one tool. Its not a fighter’s weapon like the tactical tomahawks are meant to be. It is an extraordinary tool that falls in to the same great category.
