I also have their magnum kukri machete which I was a bit less impressed with. It was the first thing I started throwing with, and is still the only thing I throw at the moment. I have their GI Tanto which has just been awesome, especially for the price. I also plan to make a grip of some sort for it as I get sweaty palms a lot that would be slippery on that finished wood. I would also put a wrap of some sort around the handle beneath the head to help keep it on in case it goes head first into a target while I'm learning to throw. I would for sure be taking off the set screw and fixing up the eye and handle for a better fit. What are your issues with the cold steel tomahawks? I'm already planning to make some changes if I got one. Just thought I'd throw this tidbit in on the off chance it helps. The big difference is that this thing sticks with the tip, while a tomahawk would stick in a position about 45-90 degrees from how the machete does. Update: I started throwing my Magnum Kukri Machete and found surprisingly that I can stick it way more often than my GI Tanto that I have been trying to learn to throw off and on for a few years now lol! This machete is much heavier toward the tip so it might be a bit like a hawk balance wise. I'm sure many others have faced this same decision. I also wonder if it would just be a initial novelty that quickly fades. I think that a spike may be more fun, but I'm not sure how much fun it really would be, and what I would do with it. I don't live on a farm or anything like that. I know a lot of people say a hammer is better for utility, but I don't plan on going off in the deep wilderness with this thing, and I don't do much hammering around my property at all. I don't really go out on hunting trips either as I used to hunt, but find I can't stomach the gutting process LOL! I don't go out on camping trips, though I do like hiking. I live in the country and have a small wooded section of my property. I want to throw it for sure, and also use it for work around the yard and in the woods (mainly hacking), as well as hacking up junk for fun. My main purpose with this tomahawk is fun in general. I decided against CRKT as their only tomahawks in my price range are too heavy. I'm trying to choose a good cold steel tomahawk, and decide between the spike hawk or one of the hammer polled hawks (not rifleman as it's too heavy). My girlfriend is getting me a tomahawk of my choosing for our anniversary (she's getting throwing knives from me). I've changed this thread again to be focused on deciding on choosing a Cold Steel Tomahawk as I feel this may get more people to pop in and offer advice, and I don't know of any other wood handled hawks in my 40$ price range that are not the excessively heavy CRKT hawks. The purchaser, user or participant assumes all risk of injury from any use.I've changed this thread to a general beginner tomahawk choosing thread as I made a stupid mistake that lead me to thing the CRKT tomahawks were lighter than they actually are lol!
