Cold Steel Trail Hawk Bushcraft Axe Natural Hickory Wood 22 inches CS90TH

The crackle of a campfire at dawn and the quiet confidence that comes from being self-reliant are more than moments—they’re a way of life. The Cold Steel Trail Hawk was built for those who feel most at home beyond the pavement, where dependable tools matter and excess weight doesn’t belong. Rooted in classic frontier design, this tomahawk captures the spirit of early woodsmen while delivering the strength and precision demanded by modern adventurers. When you’re miles from the trailhead and the air smells of pine and woodsmoke, the Trail Hawk feels like an extension of your own hand, ready to turn hard work into something deeply satisfying.

Designed with balance and efficiency in mind, the Trail Hawk offers a 2.25-inch cutting edge that bites cleanly into wood for controlled, efficient chopping. With an overall length of 22 inches, it delivers excellent reach and leverage without the bulk of a full-sized axe. The drop-forged 1055 carbon steel head is tough enough to withstand repeated impacts, while the black baked-on anti-rust coating adds durability in wet or harsh conditions. Paired with an authentic American hickory handle, the Trail Hawk absorbs shock naturally and offers a traditional feel that synthetic materials can’t quite match.

What truly sets this axe apart is its hardened hammer poll. This feature transforms the Trail Hawk into a versatile camp companion, allowing you to drive tent stakes, tap in nails, or handle light repairs without carrying extra tools. Weighing just 23.6 ounces, it’s light enough to carry all day on a belt or pack, yet stout enough to handle serious tasks around camp. The removable head also makes field maintenance straightforward, a valuable advantage for anyone who relies on their gear far from home.

The Cold Steel Trail Hawk is ideal for backpackers who want maximum utility with minimal weight, bushcrafters who appreciate traditional design and easy maintenance, and weekend campers looking for a reliable chopper and hammer in one streamlined tool. It’s not about nostalgia—it’s about proven design that still works when it counts.
