Cold Steel War Hawk — Tomahawk with Spike, 1055 Carbon Steel Head, Black Polypropylene Handle, 19" Overall
Model: CS90PTWH • UPC: 705442010913 • Color: Black
Built to work hard and last, the Cold Steel War Hawk combines a compact chopping edge with a functional rear spike on a virtually unbreakable synthetic haft. Forged from 1055 high-carbon steel for impact toughness and paired with a durable black polypropylene handle, this 19-inch tomahawk delivers confident leverage and control for camp chores, property maintenance, trail clearing, light demolition, and emergency utility—wherever a tough, low-maintenance tool earns its keep.
Why the War Hawk Stands Out
Impact-Tough 1055 Carbon Steel: Optimized for repeated shock loads so the head resists chipping during chopping, prying, and utility work.
Dual-Purpose Head: A 3.5" (approx.) chopping edge bites into wood and brush, while the rear spike excels at puncturing dense materials and controlled break-apart tasks (use responsibly).
Weatherproof Polypropylene Haft: Black polypropylene handle won’t swell, crack, or rot; it shrugs off rain, humidity, and grime—ideal for year-round use.
Balanced & Nimble: At 19" overall, the War Hawk offers reach and striking power without sacrificing maneuverability around camp or tight workspaces.
Field-Serviceable Design: Simple construction makes cleaning, edge touch-ups, and long-term upkeep straightforward.

Real-World Performance
From campsite chores to quick trail fixes, the War Hawk is tuned for efficiency. The forward edge handles kindling, limbing, and brush clearing, while the spike is handy for controlled puncture, ice breaking, and removing stubborn materials during light demo. The polypropylene haft offers a secure, consistent grip in rain or sweat and helps damp vibration for longer sessions with less fatigue.
Ideal Use Cases
Camp & Overland: Kindling prep, stake setting, clearing blowdowns, and general utility.
Property & Ranch: Brush trimming, pallet breakdown, small-scale demolition, and fence work.
Emergency/Utility Kits: Durable steel plus weatherproof handle for truck, cabin, or trailhead kits.
Recreational Throwing: Balanced for tomahawk boards—follow proper safety rules and distances.
Ergonomics & Handling
Secure, No-Nonsense Grip: Subtle shaping promotes repeatable hand placement and confident swings.
Controlled Strikes: Manageable length keeps the head on line for accurate cuts in tight spaces.
Low-Glare Finish: Practical, professional look that hides scuffs and resists corrosion.
Care & Maintenance
Edge Upkeep: Maintain a tough, working edge with a file or field stone; avoid razor-thin bevels for chopping.
Rust Prevention: Wipe dry after use and apply light oil to exposed steel, especially the edge and spike.
Handle Check: Inspect for deep gouges after heavy work; the synthetic haft is highly durable and easy to clean.
Storage: Cover the edge/spike with a mask or guard; store out of reach of children in a dry location.
Safety & Responsible Use
Wear eye protection and gloves; maintain a clear cutting arc and stable footing.
Use the spike cautiously for appropriate materials only.
Follow local laws regarding transport and public carry of edged tools.
