CRKT Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk, a heavy-duty tomahawk

The trend of modern “tactical”, utility or combat tomahawks has been a well established one for many years now, at least since Peter LaGana introduced its modern tomahawks for the Vietnam War in the late 1960s.

The carbon steel blade features an axe cutting edge and a hammerhead on the other side.

CRKT, a company well-known to enthusiasts for its knives and tools, already introduced an original design with the Woods Chogan T-Hawk in 2014. Now, CRKY is releasing a new exclusive edition with a black magnesium phosphate coating on the tomahawk head for corrosion resistance and an aesthetically striking firewood-burned handle.

The Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk – this its full name – is an impressive multi-task, heavy duty tool: a two-handed camp axe, featuring a classic design with flat-ground primary and secondary edge bevels to enhance both profile and chopping power.

CRKT Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk: features

The new CRKT Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk.

With an overall length of 19.13 in, some 485 mm, this is not quite a pocket tool. The carbon steel blade sports an axe cutting edge and a hammerhead on the other side, making the Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk also useful for driving tent stakes in the ground and for other mundane but necessary chores when outdoors. As said, the head has a magnesium-phosphate coating for corrosion resistance and black look. The beautiful and comfortable handle is made from Tennessee hickory, cut thick, artfully burned, and finished with a sturdy lacquer coat.

The Black Woods Chogan T-Hawk sells at 69.99 USD. Adding that it is shipped complete with a leather sheath, and considering its qualities and ruggedness, the price is not steep at all.
