He explained that this hawk was part of his firefighter kit and vehicle go-bag. He went on to tell me how he used it as a breaching tool and even let a few students of his use it to dismantle a car for a survival course (pull everything you need from a car for a survival scenario). As soon as he was done telling the story, I took the tomahawk and began to flay a car door. I was sold; I had never seen a tomahawk or hatchet cut metal with such ease. And after a few whacks, the hawk remained sharp. Sign me up.
