I'm going to repeat myself a lot compared to my other review of the A-23V, but it's merited. People need to see this if they have any interest in tomahawks.
Getting any kind of tomahawk sent to you with a respectable friction fit is basically unheard of in this price point. Getting one anywhere near being sharp out of the box is also about unheard of for this price point. Both? Just WOW.
Especially with the Hudson Bay design, the stouter blade and more pronounced poll really balances it out well and makes it feel secure in the hand and well under your control. It feels great to swing! The poll on the back is about 9/16" wide and 1-3/8" long. It's not ideal for hammer work but it will get the job done in a pinch. The ears on it really make it stand out versus the common Hudson Bay design. This is the practical tomahawk I would grab if I needed to do real work with it.
In comparison, Cold Steel is a very popular value brand that's only a tad cheaper and it's basically a tomahawk "blank" kit that you need to put serious work into making into an actual functioning tomahawk. CRKT hawks? I'm sending the one I just bought back; more money and a joke in comparison to this one. The eye of the CRKT hawk head is too big for the handle it came with!
My only complaints are that I didn't find this website sooner and I wish they had more models that caught my eye the way this one did.
For the money? 6 Stars! Genuinely. And free expedited shipping on orders over $120? I'll tell people who don't even care about tomahawks about this site. Really stellar.
