I have always been into knives more than tomahawks, even though I did use my hatchet when camping as a boy quite a bit. I realize the usefulness of a tomahawk, both as a potential weapon, and a tool, so when offered this by Vine I eagerly accepted. I’m not disappointed in this Voodoo Hawk Mini by SOG at all. It is a nice addition to my arsenal and is small and versatile enough to be useful in different ways, including camping and the potential zombie apocalypse that The Walking Dead foreshadows.<\/p>\n

This SOG Voodoo Hawk Mini is a combination of SOG’s tactical Tomahawk and FastHawk. It is smaller and lighter version made for backpackers, hikers, hunters and paddlers. It has a glass-reinfored nylon handle, extended cutting head, spike for piercing, and a metal pommel cap. It comes with a top loading synthetic nylon sheath for belt carry.<\/p>\n

I like SOG products for being durable at affordable prices, and I find this tomahawk fitting that description. Yes, it is made in China, but it is a decent tool at a reasonable price. It is small, and lightweight, so it is more suitable for smaller tasks. Great for getting kindling, but not as good if you needed to split larger wood or heavy duty chopping. It is a small tomahawk after all, not an ax. The metal pommel would be okay for pounding in tent stakes or similar tasks, but it isn’t going to do what a good hammer would.<\/p>\n

The back spike has limited uses as well, but seems pretty strong for what it is. I think it would definitely sink into a zombie’s brain if you were forced to fight them off with just this.<\/p>\n

I also like that SOG has a Lifetime Warranty. I’m not sure just what all this covers, but it is listed prominently on the packaging.<\/p>\n

The last thing I’ll mention is that this tactical tool from the SOG line looks \u201ccool.\u201d I’m guessing some people will want one for that very reason, and that’s okay. Because even though it is a tool, and not a toy, there is nothing wrong with a tool looking cool and tough, and this Voodoo Mini Hawk does look cool and tough. I like it, and it makes a good addition to my other bladed weapons.<\/p>\n
