Question 1

how well and long does it hold up?

Accepted Answer

This hatchet and the other versions to include the Voodoo and regular tomahawk are beyond sturdy. I have had this fasthawk and its larger counterpart for over 2 years. The fasthawk has yet to show any signs of damage and the full size hawk has just started to loosen up at the head but that is partly my fault for using it to split logs on a camping trip. They do great for small logs and creating kindling but not large stumps haha. Also it looks like i could just tighten up the bolts that hold it on and it would make it good as new. You cant go wrong with this hatchet. Oh and it also makes a great pelvic-splitter when gutting big game. Not too heavy either.

Question 2

Can it be thrown?

Accepted Answer

We throw this particular tomahawk a lot. Bought the m48 from United Cutlery 3 days ago, and the handle just snapped. Not happy. Returning if possible, and buying another SOG.

Question 3

Does DNA trace evidence clean off completely?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, organic proteins are incredibly hard to remove from surfaces, and this tool has many small crevices that they could end up getting into. However, depending on how quickly it is cleaned, it is possible to clean the entire thing after an accidental stain. Neutrex, and similar oxy cleaners have proven effective in completely removing blood proteins from surfaces, which are incredibly hard to remove normally. There are other items that may do the trick as well, as blood contains hemoglobin, which grabs as much oxygen as it can (which oxy cleaners and other substances such as hydrogen peroxide provide in abundance). Once it's had its fill, it becomes impossible to be detected by any conventional biological test. Saliva is also excellent at breaking down blood proteins in a pinch. An acidic solution may also work, but you risk damaging the ax in the process.

Question 4

Does this have a stamp on the bottom of the handle that says made in china?

Accepted Answer

dont know i used it and it worked well but the few times i missed i must have knocked the china off of it, I guess that was the only low quality of this great hawk.  not joking best bucks ive spent in a while. practice makes perfect , this took little practice , im buying them for all my daughters cars as a defensive weapon, its like cocking a shotgun but scarier in a girls hand.  great buy good quality  and commands respect.
