| I need a good dual purpose tomahawk for tactical use and field ops. What's the best that's reasonably priced and fairs well when forced into service as a light hatchet for cutting wood? Thanks! |

this would be my bet
I love my RMJ, but if I was buying something today I would probably buy this one. |

I wish they offered one with the Chogan bit and the Kangee spike. http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b489/trbrst/f5d7ed3f12026ee1d18fed5d8ddd59e5_zpse0b68c6e.jpg I actually wish they would do a Kangee bit with the hammer pole.And also wish they would stop sharpening/grinding the back of the beard. |

The sharpened beard is the most attractive feature of the Chogan, IMO. |

I despise spike hawks, I absolutely do not want a close quarters tool to be pointy on both ends. That said, unsharpening the underside of the bit shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. |

Why look for an old one?

The 22 ounce Half Hatchet by Craftsman. $10.54 before sales tax. Find a 16-18 inch handle for it that maybe costs $5. It will be half the price of a CS Rifle Hawk and US made. |

get yourself an old shingling hatchet. Hatchet. hammer, nail puller all in one! Funny you should mention that. I frequently go to locations where "weapons" aren't allowed. Carry a fixed blade knife and you're busted. However, no one has ever blinked an eye at my roofing hammer and insulation knife. 
Heck, even security guards know that Klein makes electrical tools, not weapons. |
