What Prep Goodies Dad Got For Christmas, Part I

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools F01T Tactical Tomahawk, Black


 


I scored big with this one! My husband has been drooling over this little tool for months & months!

He wanted this item because this brand is evidently regarded highly by military & law enforcement.. which I'd say is a pretty good reputation to have.

It reviewed (on Amazon) extremely well, and does as fine a job as some reviewers have experienced from other, larger SOG models of the Tomahawk.

One review I noticed, in particular, was that, due to its light weight & smaller size, it fits nicely in a backpack or on an attached hoop, AND is ideal for *women* to carry. So, I might be asking for one, myself, next Christmas ;-)

The description reads that it's a: "Compact tool for breaching operations, excavation, obstacle removal, extraction, and other utility applications" so think of clearing brush out of your path, and the like; but it also can be used as a hammer (tent stakes, anyone?). I suppose, if needed, it could be used as a weapon, altho the reviews for that particular purpose are mixed on whether it could or not.

But for outdoor survival, whether you're going camping, or are - for whatever reason - stuck out in the wilderness, this is a great tool to have in your gear.
