Tactical but not practical - SOG Specialty Knives & Tools Voodoo Hawk Tomahawk Axe

So I bought this hawk on a whim thinking I would put it through its paces and see how well it would hold up against my traditional hawk. Of course if it out performed my old trusty hawk my traditional would have been retied to make way for the future. Being a hard core bushcrafter, I normally take new pieces kit into the field and abuse the item with extreme predigest. Better for it to break in trial rather than in a situation when it is needed right? Well SOG can't make a handle. The handle broke and I hadn't even began to pressure it. It broke after doing mundane camp tasks, like harvesting fat wood from a down ceader and splitting small firewood. To make matters worse you CANNOT fashion a reliable handle in the bush easily for this hawk. I ordered another handle thinking maybe it was faulty from the manufacturer. I took the newly hafted Voodoo out and it failed once again just as fast. Sure I have broke the handle on my traditional hawk but I have never had a wooden handle brake that fast. Even if it did it wouldn't be much of a chore to re-haft it. I guess this hawk would be all right for a weekend warrior to carry to look "Tactical" but if you think you may have to use it pay half the price and get you a traditional hawk.
Pros: Cool Looking thats about it
Cons: Handle brakes easy and is hard to replace, heavy, bad nylon sheath
