I don't, but I really like the looks of it. I might have to pick one up.

Slightly off topic but I'm always confused as to what role the hawk plays, big knife? Hatchet? What I'd the definition of a hawk compared to a small hatchet?

[Kootenai]

Smudge,

Beats me!

I have looked up knife, axe, etc. definitions online and had some people TRY to explain the perfect terminology to me about specific KNIFE ONLY words from a to z.

I don't know the answers to your questions unless I would do a long internet search. By that time, you could look them up for yourself.

I can't ask my husband now because he worked late and is still asleep. Sorry.

Was just idle curiosity, I'll actually look it up one day

I looked at the CRKT hawk in the store, it is basically an overpriced cold steel hawk with a slightly fancier finish. Hawk roles are archaic, and really excel in fighting or small crafting. Much like the big knife, they are a cool factor more than functional tool.

I dropped my hawks a number of years back for the CS spetnaz shovel. It's a hawk, but has about 10 other uses where a hawk only serves as a chopper and a hammer. Also, the common folk are not spooked by a shovel as much.

Thanks.

My husband has some types of special shovels too.

He said that tomahawks were well known for fighting tools and for other uses too.

I asked him about this before he went to work in the afternoon today.

Nothing wrong with a hawk as a belt axe. I think some of the "bug out to the woods" crowd make it harder on purpose where a boys axe would fare better. I loved throwing mine. But it's harder not to feel like a badass sticking a shovel into trees. I used mine for limbing and light camping, but mostly throwing fun.

The CRKT had a nicer handle in fit and finish, and the textured hammer head. But $70 vs $20 is not worth it for a working tool. CS Rifleman Hawk is about the same thing, that is what I carried for a few years.

I have not. But I have owned quite a few CRKT products. For the money they are very decent products.

If one doesn't want to carry a heavy blade, the hawk is nice for splitting the pelvis when gutting an elk or large buck.
