SHOP CASE KNIVESThe American Tomahawk Model 1 in Coyote Black is built for those who need a no-nonsense tool that won’t back down. Designed with real-world use in mind—whether you're on the trail, at the range, or on duty—this modern tomahawk pays tribute to its military roots while delivering updated materials and tactical performance for today’s user.
The heart of the Model 1 is its 8.25-inch black-coated axe head, drop-forged from tough 1060 high carbon steel. This steel is known for its durability, edge retention, and impact resistance, making it ideal for chopping, breaching, or defensive use. The 2-inch primary cutting edge is razor-sharp and ready to handle wood, rope, and more, while the opposing spike end is ground to a point for piercing, prying, or cracking through tough material. Whether you're clearing brush or breaching a barrier, this tomahawk is more than up to the task.
The handle is crafted from Coyote-colored glass-reinforced nylon (GRN), offering rugged strength with a textured grip. It’s molded for control, balance, and comfort—even during extended use. A lanyard hole at the end gives you the option to secure it to your gear or wrist, adding peace of mind when working in rough terrain or high-stress situations.
At 14 inches overall and weighing in at 2.52 pounds, the Model 1 strikes the right balance between heft and agility. It's compact enough to carry comfortably but packs plenty of force when it counts. The included black Kydex sheath offers belt carry with MOLLE attachment compatibility and low ride MOC straps, so it’s ready to be mounted on your gear the way you need it. The sheath provides secure retention and fast access—exactly what you want in high-pressure moments.
Made with input from professionals and forged to take abuse, the American Tomahawk Model 1 is a modern field tool that earns its place in any serious kit. Order it today from SMKW!
