The CRKT Chogan Mattock is a serious tool for hard ground and harder work. Designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, this is a no-frills, high-impact digging and breaching tool built to perform where lesser gear fails. Whether you’re clearing roots, breaking up tough soil, or prying through rocky terrain, the Chogan Mattock delivers raw, dependable power in a compact, packable form.
At the business end, you’ve got a head forged from tough 1055 carbon steel—chosen for its ability to absorb shock and keep swinging without chipping or cracking under pressure. It’s coated with a corrosion-resistant black finish to fight off the elements and keep maintenance low, even after hard use in wet or gritty conditions. The wide blade edge is built for cutting and scraping, while the impact spike on the opposite end delivers focused penetration when you need to break through stubborn surfaces.
The Tennessee hickory handle is smooth, solid, and built for the long haul. It’s a time-tested hardwood with natural durability, offering a traditional feel with modern performance. The wood grain helps absorb shock and reduces hand fatigue, while the overall shape keeps the tool secure in your grip during heavy swings. It’s the kind of handle you can trust not to split under real pressure.
A key feature of the Chogan Mattock is its modularity. The head removes easily for transport and compact storage, making it a perfect fit for backcountry packs, truck kits, or emergency gear. You get full-size performance when assembled, without the bulk when you're on the move.
At 19 inches overall and weighing 2.31 pounds, the Chogan Mattock hits the sweet spot between portability and power. It’s built for outdoor professionals, survivalists, or anyone who needs a reliable digging and breaching tool that’s ready for the rough stuff. When the job calls for impact and control, this tool steps up—designed not just to dig, but to endure. Order it today from SMKW!
