Ron James replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"I will have to disagree to a point. A tomahawk is not made for cutting down trees. Tho I have made short work of 4 inch diameter ones. For camp firewood, small saplings for shelter, cutting up deer and other such chores, a tomahawk cant…"
KENT GABLE replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"Shlomo- I have to agree with you on the practicality of an axe or hatchet over the romantic image of the tomahawk. I recently bought a Gransfors Bruks Small Forest axe but have not yet had an opportunity to use it yet while camping. Actually…"
Shlomo ben Maved replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"I love tomahawks, I collect tomahawks as I'm into blackpowder re-enactments and they are a hoot to throw but they make terrible camping/survival/trapping tools…For sure they’re used for those purposes but there are better suited…"
Jeremi Lett replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"Wow!Glad2 c u got and have tested the new CS Hawk!I was going to buy this,but after I created my FrankenAxe v.2 Prototype,I really dont need another hawk just yet.Notice I say just yet...I was a tester of the original 3prototypes Lynn Thompson…"
kage replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"I've been using the Cold Steel Trench Hawk for awhile on my sojourns, and it's filled the bill as camp axe very well for me. The spike can be used for splitting, picking up and moving wood. The hawk is generous enough at 3 1/2", and…"
Jeremi Lett replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"I use and carry a tomahawk quite frequently on my outings.I can recommend a Condor Knife and tool Throwing Axe w/out handle OR a SOG Fusion Tactical Tomahawk.Do not be fooled by the "Throwing" title on the Condor.It throws like a champ,but…"

Ron James replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"I love the hawks from Keith at Great River Forge. I had him to take a med. American hawk and add a hammer pole to it. Cost a few years ago was about 65 and well worth it. You get to keep the look of the hawk, and use it for a lot more stuff. And if…"
Andrew Phelps replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion serviceable Tomahawks? in the group The Modern Survivalist"first of all, i can't say i've used what i would call a "great" axe as of yet. i have a $50 full size Gerber, however. Even though you said you're not considering a gerber, i thought i would offer my first-hand experience…"
Al Cave replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion When you were young, did you have troubles attaining knives? in the group EDC Club"My father had a box full of folders/pocket knives. He was more than willing to show me any & I was given some at early age. I was in mid teens when he died and I still have his knives in my collection. My 2 sons, now on their own, both have a #…"
Jim Prather replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion When you were young, did you have troubles attaining knives? in the group EDC Club"I haven't a clue when I got my first knife. I always got dad's used knives. And when I got dad's next knife, I had to pass mine down to my younger brother, and he passed his down to our youngest brother.
We grew up on a farm in SE…"
Kevin S Gallagher replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion When you were young, did you have troubles attaining knives? in the group EDC Club"I honestly do not remember the exact age but my dad was giving me knifes before I was in the 8th grade. None of them anything to brag about. I am 53 years old and still have several of them. If someone was to ask me how many knifes I have collected…"
Gary Nelson replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion When you were young, did you have troubles attaining knives? in the group EDC Club"No, I always had a small Case or a small Buck. I wish I had them now! In my family, you got knives around ten years old and guns around 14. We learned to sharpen on a bench stone. Life was good. We thought of knives as tools which they are. Tools…"
Salvatore V. replied to Salvatore V.'s discussion Survival mindset in urban living. in the group The Modern Survivalist"James,
I appreciate the input, mate. I do agree that I'd be best to avoid a survival situation, but I do my best to stay as prepared as I possibly can. I am 17 and jobless, and a minor. So carrying a gun and ammo isn't something I can…"

J.T. [HELLZZARMY] said… - Not every Martial Art mostly Japanese styles related to our training. I'm an Asst. Instrutor in Wado-Ryu Karate and my little boy Yoshi (10 yrs. old) is a Black-Belt too.
Yammani-Ryu is our weapons style...Sai and Bo (staff)...OSU!!! (KARATE EXPRESSION)
Going to enroll my boy in the Pedoy school of Escrima this summer. I've already taught him some basic skills in stick and knife fighting.

Wilma Slicer (Lynsie) said… - thank you for your comment on the benchmade mini-ambush video!
I definitely think a knife is the absolute LAST resort...at least the blade...you can really hurt someone if you punch then with the butt of that knife! I always carry a whistle with me as well!
