Trail Hawk

The Cold Steel Trail Hawk brings the compact versatility of a traditional frontier-style tomahawk to a lightweight outdoor tool. Popular with campers, survival enthusiasts and outdoor gear collectors, its combination of a compact 1055 carbon steel head and long American hickory handle keeps the Trail Hawk easy to carry without giving up useful chopping capability. At just 23.6 ounces, it can be packed alongside other camp equipment without adding excessive weight.

The design takes inspiration from the simple hawks and small axes associated with the North American frontier, where compact tools earned their place because they could handle a variety of everyday jobs. That straightforward concept carries through to the modern Trail Hawk. In addition to its cutting edge, the head incorporates a functional hammer poll with a hardened face, giving the tool another practical purpose around a campsite or work area.

Cold Steel builds the Trail Hawk around a 1055 carbon steel head with a 2 1/4 inch cutting edge and a 22 inch American hickory handle. The traditional wood handle gives it the familiar character of a frontier hawk while helping keep the complete tool remarkably light. For anyone assembling camping gear, adding a traditional hawk to an outdoor collection, or simply looking for a compact chopping tool with an integrated hammer poll, the Cold Steel Trail Hawk offers a straightforward design with practical versatility.
