Cold Steel Trench Hawk — 3.50" Cutting Edge, 1055 Carbon Steel Head, OD Green Polypropylene Handle, 19" Overall
Model: CS90PTHG • UPC: 705442017226 • Color: OD Green Handle / Black Head
Tough, fast, and field-ready—the Cold Steel Trench Hawk blends a compact 3.50" cutting edge with a purpose-built spike and a rugged OD Green polypropylene handle to create a modern tomahawk you can depend on. Forged from impact-tough 1055 carbon steel, the Trench Hawk is engineered for hard outdoor work such as limbing, kindling, light demolition, trail clearing, and camp chores, with the reach and leverage of its 19" overall length.
Why the Trench Hawk Stands Out
1055 Carbon Steel Head: Optimized for impact toughness so it shrugs off repeated chopping and prying better than many harder, brittle steels.
3.50" Cutting Edge: Bites deep and tracks straight through green limbs, pallet wood, and camp tasks—small enough for control, large enough for real progress.
Functional Spike: The rear spike excels at puncturing dense materials, breaking ice, or controlled prying (use responsibly).
OD Green Polypropylene Handle: Weatherproof and nearly unbreakable; resists swelling, rot, and cracking—ideal for humid or wet environments.
Replaceable Haft Design: The head is secured to a tough synthetic handle that’s field-replaceable if damaged.
Balanced for Speed & Control: Lively head-to-haft geometry promotes precise placement and quick recovery between strikes.

Real-World Performance
From camp and overland chores to trail and property maintenance, the Trench Hawk’s compact edge gets in close where bigger axes feel clumsy. The 1055 steel takes a tough, toothy working edge that stands up to knots and dirty wood, while the OD Green handle provides confidence in rain, sweat, or gloves. Use the spike for controlled puncture and light break-apart tasks, and the flat sections of the head for light tapping and alignment work.
Ideal Use Cases
Camp & Overland: Kindling prep, stake setting, clearing blowdowns, and quick trail fixes.
Property & Ranch: Light demolition, pallet breakdown, trimming limbs, and brush clearing.
Emergency Kits: Reliable steel and synthetic construction for vehicle or cabin readiness.
Recreational Throwing: Balanced for throwing boards (follow proper safety rules and distances).
Ergonomics & Handling
Secure Grip Shape: Subtle contouring keeps your hands indexed during power swings.
Shock-Resistant Haft: Polypropylene helps absorb vibration, reducing fatigue over long sessions.
Confident Control: 19" overall length provides leverage for chopping yet remains nimble around camp.
Care & Maintenance
Edge Upkeep: Maintain a tough, convex or micro-beveled working edge with a file or field stone—avoid razor-thin edges for chopping.
Rust Prevention: Wipe dry after use and apply a light oil to exposed steel, especially around the edge and spike.
Handle Check: Inspect for deep gouges or damage after heavy work; the synthetic haft is replaceable if ever needed.
Storage: Protect the edge (use a mask or guard) and store in a dry place out of reach of children.
Safety & Responsible Use
Wear eye protection and gloves; maintain a safe cutting arc and known backstop.
Use the spike cautiously and only on appropriate materials.
Follow local laws for transport and carry of edged tools.
