Old now but swung a 28 oz framing hammer for years. Broke many a handle on every one except an Estwing. I have had one of these in my truck for years and it has been abused hard, still works as advertised. I will add, pulling one of these out in a "situation" really gets one's attention.
Sorry buddy but that's not "ply wood" it doesn't have any plies to it. That's OSB board, meaning they glue a bunch of little wood pieces together to make it. I will be thoroughly impressed if you get a 3/4" sheet of plywood and punch through it with that. Also, I've watched a couple of your other videos, for future reference you should use different lumber for your chopping tests. it's not very impressive that you can chop a white pine 2x4. That's a soft wood and splits very easily. If anything at least start using pressure treated wood so it's a little harder.
Well, since you're willing to beat up your blades so we don't have to, I award you 10 nod points, redeemable at any manmart for a 12 pack of respect! I like your videos and I own some of the best reviewed gear. Thanks for taking one for the team.
I have the double bit axe which is pretty much the two headed version of this. Mean little axe and throws perfectly. The heavy construction gives it tons of momentum.
MAYOR FUGLYCOOL, I JUST GOT TWO ESTWING BLACK EAGLE TOMAHAWKS MAN THERE ALL YOU SAID AND MORE THEY THROUGH VERY VERY GOOD. AND THERE VERY EASY TO SHARPEN TOO. KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL VIDEOS. HAVE A GREAT WEEK. I JUST LOVE TO WATCH YOUR TESTING KNIVES. APACHE MAD DOG.
I was debating which tomahawk I should get, between the SOG survival hawk vs. the Estwing...after watching your review, I like the Estwing hawk a lot. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work man.
Tomahawk! You'll get a Tomahawk! Pass Ranger school in the next 60 days, get a 2nd Tomahawk Free! Cool test, I've been looking at that one, I have many Estwing tools and they have never let me down, good to know that this won't either.
i own this tool and a cold steel pipe hawk. the estwing came with a super pointy spike. so i decided to test it on a fire brick. i chipped away a decent hole in it, but was not able to break it in half. it also blunted to the tip pretty good. as far as throwing goes...it works, but not as good as my pipehawk. i think this has to do in part from it's blade being thicker than the pipehawk. in chopping the pipehawk definitely bites deeper but the estwing doesn't get stuck in the wood like the pipehawk does.
I like it but it's cutting edge is too short, at only 2.75" I might still buy one, the blue one to be exact. I bought Estwing's 16" camp axe three years ago & it's still my favorite axe.
As an American, I admit that we tend to think of firearms as part of American heritage-and they are, but the ORIGINAL American weapon, the one that was first in America was the tomahawk. The tomahawk is 100% an American weapon. The native “Indians” used them, the settlers adopted them and the Continental Army carried them as an issued side arm. Our first soldiers had a firearm and a tomahawk. We didn’t use bayonets or swords, like the British. Documents from the time indicate US troops used tomahawks in hand-to-hand combat and also threw them in combat. They were reportedly lethal up to 60 yards (with a head shot). I know 60 yards is 180 feet, and I’m sure it was not common for them to throw it that far, but there are records that they could get an accurate throw at that distance.
Just discovered you today. Awesome videos! Liked and sub'd. And Estwing makes some of the best tools on earth! Their hammers and such will pay for themselves over and over.
I'd like to see you test the s o g survival tomahawk ,testing the spike for nail pulling an fence breaking,this one is full tang from s o g,I absolutely love it.
Okay I like the video.. but I just want to say a couple things..that's not really plywood that look like kind of rotten OSB..I'm pretty sure a fresh piece of real plywood would be a little bit more difficult to chop up or actually a lot more difficult but hey that's okay.. and, and I'm not trying to be mean or anything but even with a tomahawk in your hand you don't seem like a very threatening guy lol.. still a thumbs up on the video 👌
Estwing makes the best hammers on the planet use them everyday and stay in great shape for long time so i can't see why this axe would any different good video
Now if, like me, you decide to run out and get this most epic of tools/toys the same day you see this video, beware. At my Home Depot, they had 8 of them, and apart from mine, the 7 others had a chipped spike (2 with a squarely broken-off tip). Sounds like poor QC... but no doubt I'll enjoy my mint condition one a lot.
These are great. I own two. But, I picked up the second one to use to clear some ice dams. February in the New England this year has sucked. Suffice to say, the mighty Estwing has met its match. Blunted the spike completely after half an hour of hacking at ice. Didn't break but I need to re profile it. And the blade edge. Forget about it. Wouldn't cut soft butter after 10 minutes. I'm not saying these suck. I'm happy to own them. Would buy more without hesitation. But this thing got its ass handed to it by ice.
+Gillian Lim Productions One day I will have that review up and running. It is hectic this time of year, but don't worry, I should have it out by the end of the year. Mayor Fuglycool
unfuckingmaker chip board is different to OSB. Chip board is basically saw dust mixed with adhesive and pressed into sheets. Not quite the same as OSB with larger wood 'flakes'
Dude the Tomahawk is bad ass but that aint plywood its particle board and about ready to fall apart , I was really wanting you to show blade sharpness with one of them chickens , OFF WITH ITS HEAD !

I was impressed how easy the point went through the cinder block I didn't expect it to be that easy
+Brian Ferry Oh yeah, that estwing is a winner in the hand. It really is hardcore !

7:10 is the best the chicken in the bottom right corner running for its life lol
I have the double bit axe which is pretty much the two headed version of this. Mean little axe and throws perfectly. The heavy construction gives it tons of momentum.
Mayor, very good "EXCEPT" you wasted a perfectly good coconut. LOL. Keep up the good work.
I did not waste the coco ! The remains are in the fridge, washed off of course !
Mayor Fuglycool
Mayor Fuglycool The chickens would have cleaned it up. LOL
Gary Funderburg
;3)) Thanks for watching Mr. Gary !
Mayor Fuglycool
I was impressed with the “ gaping hole” lmao
We have so many sights to show you.
I've been impressed by the Estwing hatchets and tomahawks for a while now. I wish I had discovered them sooner.
+Chester B. Ahh yes, the Estwing hatchets are really great ! Thanks for watching :)
Mayor Fuglycool

Thanks, glad you loved the vid. The Tomahawks are awesome, I love mine :)
Mayor Fuglycool
the only guy who test items on really survival situations, never buy anything didnt passed your tests bro, thk for share with us
true af... I used to bash him for doing these harsh tests, but I realized if it passes his tests, then it's worth buying
+Migliore Francesco Thanks ! :)
Mayor Fuglycool
+Vlad Popovici Thank you for the support ! :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Cut out on the spade part, does make it lighter ...and.. helps to retrieve the tomahawk out of deep penetrations... less friction.
LOL ;3))
Mayor Fuglycool
I was debating which tomahawk I should get, between the SOG survival hawk vs. the Estwing...after watching your review, I like the Estwing hawk a lot. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work man.
george Kwan
Good choice. I have both and Sog is shit. Sold Sog and bought another Estwing
Estwing blows SOG out of the water in a hard use Tomahawk. Estwing uses a 1 piece construction from carbon steel.
Pound on some more tomahawks, love the Tomahawk vids. Keep up the great work, sir!
Just got myself two of these! Great review and video!
Thanks man ! I hope you have fun ! Remember, safety first !
Mayor Fuglycool
just bought mine today, looking forward to putting it through its paces. Good video enjoyed it, nice throws btw.
+Fredrick Mann Thanks for watching ! :)

+Russell Lehman This tomahawk is really tough !
Mayor Fuglycool
Hey now you're pretty damn good at throwing that thing!
+Jack Costello I'm ok at it, not the greatest but I do enjoy throwing this piece. :)
Thanks for watching friend !

Cool ! You should make some vids bro, I would like to see the comparison !
Glad you liked the video !
Mayor Fuglycool
i love estwing too!! thanks for great review!!!
estwing framing hammer makes me earn money! and i expect estwing tomahawk will give me fun!
Thank you friend, for your kind words ! Have fun with Estwing :)
Mayor Fuglycool
I always look at these at home Depot and never pull the trigger. One day!
Thanks for the review. I was thinking about getting one.
+cowdog64 Thanks for watching !

Hey mayor,do you have any newer videos
im getting one very soon, love tomahawks, much love bro.
Good video, Decent throwing review and at a decent distance!
No more running after chickens.
Another great review this will be my next purchase for camping looks like a monster in the field.
+Jesse Jay Hess Oh yeah, I love mine. Hard to choose between this and the SPAX ;)

And Estwing makes some of the best tools on earth! Their hammers and such will pay for themselves over and over.
This was hard to watch lol...But I'm impressed. Now I'm glad I purchased 2 of them. And that was cork board not plywood lol
Nice outfit. Did you go on safari before or after you filmed this video?
Awesome! Have you tested the SOG tomahawk?
Best review I have seen so far!!!!
Thanks for watching !

Can't believe I had never seen this video. Good one man.
Is that a Mora on your hip when you're doing the pull-ups at 6:20?
Mora Companion 100% sure.
How much does it weigh?
Glad to see someone using a tomahawk for tomahawk things, not making feathersticks
;)
Mayor Fuglycool
Don’t know why, but I really enjoyed this review.
Thank you for the video, I especially liked the chickens.
Thanks for watching ! If you have any requests, send me a message ! Happy New Year !

bought mine new from a hardware store but it was vary dull
Okay I like the video.. but I just want to say a couple things..that's not really plywood that look like kind of rotten OSB..I'm pretty sure a fresh piece of real plywood would be a little bit more difficult to chop up or actually a lot more difficult but hey that's okay.. and, and I'm not trying to be mean or anything but even with a tomahawk in your hand you don't seem like a very threatening guy lol.. still a thumbs up on the video 👌

Thanks for watching !

Estwing makes the best hammers on the planet use them everyday and stay in great shape for long time so i can't see why this axe would any different good video
Thanks ! Glad you loved it :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Damn right, I have the 16z hammer & it's the best hammer I ever bought, better than those at Walmart.
Bought this Hawk after your review of it, and I'm happy as a clown with it! Thanks!
Thanks for watching ! If you have any requests, give me a message !
Mayor Fuglycool
Blade on an axe or tomahawk is called the Bit.
I have an estwing hammer. gotta grab the tomahawk as well.
5:33 look at the face that poor coconut is making as it's about to get chopped
Now if, like me, you decide to run out and get this most epic of tools/toys the same day you see this video, beware. At my Home Depot, they had 8 of them, and apart from mine, the 7 others had a chipped spike (2 with a squarely broken-off tip). Sounds like poor QC... but no doubt I'll enjoy my mint condition one a lot.
Estwing has a good warranty program also :)
Thanks for watching friend !
Mayor Fuglycool
acYm I got 1 the other day as well and so far I like it no chips or bends, it's a perfect build
Justin Anderson
Awesome !
Mayor Fuglycool
Great vid!
Thanks friend !
Mayor Fuglycool
I’m sure the tomahawk is excellent but the destruction on the steel bottle and cinder blocks…you must hit like a mule, dude!
Thank you my friend, it is always good to see someone that genuinely appreciates my testing :)
Mayor Fuglycool
I've had one for 2 yrs and it's insane the abuse it takes. I got it to chop roots but I chop more dirt about half the time.
Bad ass, good job man
Thanks for watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
These are great. I own two. But, I picked up the second one to use to clear some ice dams. February in the New England this year has sucked. Suffice to say, the mighty Estwing has met its match.

mrstewbum
Ice took down the Titanic, too. Shit happens sometimes..
That's not plywood first of all. Its weathered OSB board. Which makes it severely brittle. No way that point could go through actual 3/4 inch plywood.
you could tear a house down with that thing..I want one.
Very helpful
Gotta say I love these hawks!
Great throwing!
Philip Lobrano Thanks for watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
I'd like to see you test the u.s.m.c tomahawk the bruiser before I make decisions, if you could try ,an try for another awesome review video.
That's a lot of damage!
I may be getting this tomahawk soon
I see this is an old video, but that isn't plywood.
That is not plywood. It's a particle board, much more fragile than plywood.
Nice vid. You got my sub bro.
You would be cool neighbor to have!
Rotting osb is not plywood.
Skip to 4:10 to see throwability..the fun part!
You should review sheaths too, just giving you some constructive criticism 😄👍
1:10 "here's JONNY!!!!!"
+jack688 LOL :)
Mayor Fuglycool
Pls do a bear Grylls parang test
+Gillian Lim Productions One day I will have that review up and running. It is hectic this time of year, but don't worry, I should have it out by the end of the year.
Mayor Fuglycool
+Mayor Fuglycool okay sounds good
1st thing that's not plywood
I have this and a m48 and want a sog voodoo hawk
Paint on the estwing sucks thought
He doesn't know the difference between chip board and plywood
Prairiedog575 "chip board" is actually called osb (oriented strand board).
unfuckingmaker chip board is different to OSB. Chip board is basically saw dust mixed with adhesive and pressed into sheets. Not quite the same as OSB with larger wood 'flakes'
1:00 euh... that wood look rotten
the way you dance around and sword fight with that poor arm less wood I would hate to see you play cod
+Jack mehouf It's for show really, just handling that's all :)
Mayor Fuglycool
sweet man, that's definitely a keeper
Thanks for watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
Cool!!!! Throw
Thanks for watching !
Mayor Fuglycool
Chops on rotten wood.
and ? its a backyard test lol
Mayor Fuglycool
That's chip board, not plywood.
Chip board is not as tough as real plywood , looks weathered even weaker .Know the difference.
That really was'nt plywood. But its a nice Tomahawk!
Yes, I know. I should have known better, my bad. Next tomahawk test will feature real ply :3))
Mayor Fuglycool
👍👍
Dude the Tomahawk is bad ass but that aint plywood its particle board and about ready to fall apart , I was really wanting you to show blade sharpness with one of them chickens , OFF WITH ITS HEAD !
Yeah man, thanks for the heads up on the board. I will use ply for my next test. . . And the chickens. . . Naaa man . . . Naa. . . :/
Mayor Fuglycool
Not plywood..fiber board
