Jason, your channel was recommended to me by a co-worker, and I am so glad I took his advice. Just FANTASTIC stuff. I always end up learning something new, every single time. A great job, sir!
Yes, he's awesome, helped me take my overall skills set to a higher level. I can also escape from any scenario, from the modernized criminal elements of the world. I have had to implement his training a few times, and if it wasn't for him I would have been toast! Thank you Jason!
I'm so glad you have this channel as an "out" or stress relief for fatherhood too. 😂 This video is such a great mashup of everything you are interested in and everything you are. LoL
The traditional reason for tomahawk throwing on the frontier had to do with single-shot flintlock rifles and muskets. If your gun was unloaded and your opponent was close and his gun loaded, you could throw the ‘hawk to get him to duck and flinch, allowing you a chance to charge him and kill him with your long knife before he could reorient. They had to be close to make it work, however. Today, with multiple round guns, other than sport, there is no good reason to throw your tomahawk other than as a last resort or for deception tactics. It just loses you a tomahawk.
I live in an apartment, and although I have firearms handy, I like keeping my Estwing "Camp Axe" handy. I love both those movies you mentioned. I feel like I have watched them both in just the past few weeks. I also have throwing axe, which I have only played with a couple times.
Remember that THROWING an axe/tomahawk will cause it to spin. This means that the edge will "stick" only if the 'hawk hits at the correct point in the spin. I am told that competitors measure the distance and calculate how many rotations are in the distance so they can start off correctly to get the 'hawk to stick. The same is true for some knives when thrown. I am not an expert but I have watched a number of competitions, and the HANDLE (not the desired edge!) will strike the target if you do not make adjustments.
@@DimCompact For knives, that is essentially to stab with it & let go at the end, so it's always tip-forward, kinda like an arrow. Not really an option for a tomahawk!
I lived in the woods as a kid and constantly threw a hatchet. It got to the point where I was GOOD, very good. At 30 to 40 feet I could stick a tree 7 times out of 10, even moving a bit to the side. That said, it would be almost impossible to kill someone or even cause a fight ending injury. You are using it to distract, either to retreat to cover or close to melee distance
The tomahawk is two pointed: one point toward the adversary and the other pointed toward the holder. If the adversary is bigger and stronger than the holder, the other pointed end could get buried into the holder's body. This could happen if a stronger adversary is able to catch the holder's arm then jams the other end toward the holder. Of course, there is a lot of "ifs" involved. A tomahawk with only one pointed end (toward the front) would better than a 2-pointed one.
Interesting. I have one, made by SOG. It came new, totally unsharpened. Got a nice file, then on a sharpening stone. It's quite versatile. Got a large jungle knife as well. Looks like a bowie, but it has saw teeth on top.
One of the best tomahawk fight scenes I saw was in tv series called Banshee, that's when I thought tomahawk could be a great home-defense weapon. Of course some training is required to get used to the weight and handling of it but once you get those sorted, oh boy...
TL;DR: both his tomahawk & kukri are trash; don't waste your money. Using the fragile music stand is likely to have something else to blame for the fact that the blade isn't so great - I'm SURE you have a sturdier work table somewhere, any decent edge would go through that rubber in 1 chop. If it was a durable, high quality tool that could survive it, we'd instead have a video here of how to use it for wilderness survival like chopping wood for a fire, maybe breaching doors, & splitting a cord of logs or something like that to show how well it takes a beating & still works well at the end of a hard day's work. I bought both, 'hawk steel is 4.5 mm thick, completely uniform except for the sharp bits, so it doesn't appear to have been folded at all like most blade steel is for strength. Feels like it was water-jet cut from sheet metal, then sharpened, so I wouldn't expect the edge to last very long under heavy use. The way the head is shaped, it catches on the sheath when you try to take it off, in fact it had already torn a hole completely through the sheath before I first opened the package. The paracord for the grip section is just coiled around, & mine was finished with a Granny knot at the bottom - I learned to NEVER use that one in the Cub Scouts when I was in the 1st grade. 2 holes in strategic places could have made the cord a WHOLE lot more secure - I'm a mechanical design engineer & Eagle Scout, I know my ropes! Also, it would have been a lot smarter to fillet, or at least chamfer, the edges where the cord is wrapping around so the 90 degree edges aren't constantly damaging the cord whenever you use the tool, PLUS that would be more comfortable if you did need to use the cord to tie something & use the 'hawk after that, but that would take a whole additional work station with additional tools to make.. A slight wave profile instead of straight edges would also help keep a secure grip without the cord wrap. I suppose it would be a whole lot better than nothing & it being light for an axe makes it easier to carry/store so you're more likely to have it when you need it, but I wouldn't want my life to depend on it if I had a choice. His kukri feels like it could have been made in the next batch at the same factory; what look like saw teeth on the back aren't sharpened, or even uniform (a few teeth stick out significantly farther than others). Steel on that one is 3 mm thick, also a plain flat cut-out with a sharpened edge, though that one has a molded rubbery plastic grip. Pommel there doesn't have a glass breaker point, only a jagged bit of metal, sure, I wouldn't want to get hit over the head with that at least. Both sheaths are poorly thought out, not MOLLE/PALS compatible, 'hawk belt loop is extremely tight, kukri very loose. Both have too many snaps, & design gave not much thought at all to carrying securely while walking or working, then quickly deploying 1-handed. It looks like I'm going to lose out shipping costs to return them, wouldn't be surprised if the refund doesn't include what I paid to ship it to me, so in the net I lose money on shipping both ways, even though nobody in good conscience could sell the 'hawk to another customer having been told there's a hole in the sheath; shipping it back is a waste of money & fuel.
I could understand for the axe but a kukri!? You have some funny things in your survival kit. I get the biggest threat for you is not snow or starvation.
I've had a small hatchet, a folding shovel, plastic sheets, and rope in my car kit for years in case of I get stick in bad weather. The shovel could be used to dig out of snow or mud. The hatchet could break up branches that have fallen on the road or that I can use for traction in ice and snow. The plastic sheet I could use in case of a broken window or to cover the seats in case of mud. And the rope can and has been used to secure cargo. I recently discovered this is considered a suspicious af.
Add duct tape, a tire puncture repair kit along with a can of fix-a-flat, and a space blanket with a few strike anywhere waterproof matches and your even more prepared. Oh good idea to have a gallon of water too, or at minimum some form of hydration. If no room for water, get a water purification straw or something to do that, Too!

Wish you lived closer as I think we would be bros. I literally have a tomahawk hanging on my wall above my PC, so I think we think alike in many ways. Only thing is I could never work for the CIA as I am not a liar. lol
bro jason, great vid , yes i would love one of these tomahawks BUT cannot afford one at this time , i am looking for a trader/swapper on here fopr one perhaps ?, keep up the great vids n content , we are learning , you the man with the plan , thanks > tom !
I, too, worry about over penetration as the houses are less than a dozen yards to me. I live in San Diego. So, I use a replica boarding cutlass, because I was in the Navy. If you display it with a Dixie-cup hat and your Crackerjacks, it seems innocent. Sort of like those awful Japanese swords that are on display in various households.
Could you please make a video on victims who defend themselves against attackers, have charges placed against them for defending themselves or others? God bless. ✝️🇺🇸
😏 The tomahawk with the "spike" on the 🔙 is WAY better bro.. it buries in the same But will actually split and crack a bone apart unlike the "chipping" flat blade on this one.. just sayin..😏
Wtf is going on with the website for the tomahawk lol? It reads like someone is trying to get me to buy a timeshare. Prosecutors would have a heyday with it. Just post the specs and move on.

There’s a no spin way of knife throwing which works at most distances the same probably applies to tomahawks

I have the Cold Steel Trench Hawk. I actually improved it by wrapping tennis racket hand grip tape around the handle.
That's sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I'm curious what brand that kukri is, i have a cold steel tomahawk and I love it.
Could use that on Zombies too. Imagine what it could do to a bad guy's skull.
5 inch bolo is good option to swap kukri. slim, & sharp.
Thanks for sharing! God bless!
Where can we buy Chickens! Hee Hee! Got to have some fun with the nephews!
At your house, of course, not at their mama's house. 😆
Oh we know about that chicken. We have a yellow one. Now if I could just find somewhere around the house???
I have an utility vehicle and I care a tomahawk. Not so much for self-defense, but to build a shelter and make a fire in case I breakdown.
Can't even kill a rubber chicken 🐓🐔.......... Credibility gone!! 😢🤪🤫
