Review: Pretty Good, Flies Well, I don't like the Set Screw... - *UPDATE* I’ve throw a lot more than the past me, and this is still a great hawk. I’m still on my first handle, although the key to not breaking handles is not missing. I’ve got other throwing axes to judge against now, and this is still a solid thrower. Just not super pretty *ORGINAL REVIEW* I bought the Cold Steel Norse Hawk as well as the Cold Steel Trail Hawk at the same time. Both of these were my first tomahawks ever, and I don't have that much tomahawk experience, or any experience with other brands of tomahawks to compare to. With that said, here is what I think: First Impression: This hawk looks okay, quality wise, but the edge was VERY DULL. The blade bounced off the stump on my first throw. I had to file it, but it did sharpen to a good edge (good enough for tomahawking). Biggest Flaw: This hawk (maybe all Cold Steel hawks) uses a set screw to tighten the axe head to the handle. Once you throw this hawk, depending on how it lands, that screw will scar up the handle as the axe head comes off. I would appreciate a friction fit much better. These are my first tomahawks, so I'm not sure how many other hawks are like this. The screw really gouges the handle though. How do they work: I am a novice at tomahawking, but I can sink this hawk into my stump target from three spins away, which I'd say is about 25 foot. It feels really natural to throw, and I pretty much started sinking this thing into the wood straight away. The handle feels a little long (I don't know for sure, because I have no experience to reference), but I've just been choking up when I throw, and that works great. I've probably thrown about 100 times, and I've only missed on a handful, mostly from the "three spin" distance. I'm not sure how good I am at throwing tomahawks, but I can say that these definitely work, anyone who knows how to tomahawk should be able to use these no problem, and if you can't make it work, then it's probably you, not the hawk. I think these would be good for any beginner. They're priced low, and they work. They would work better if you custom fitted the handle and didn't use the set screw, and sharpening the axe is probably a must. I'm going to get a nicer version when I get better, but these seem great to learn on. Review: The Perfect Starting Point - The Trail Hawk arrived packaged well. Upon inspection I realized the head had been put on backwards. The eye of the head is actually egg shaped, not oval. The handle is egg shaped as well. I removed and ditched the set screw and swapped the head around. I have done some preliminary sanding of the handle and the head fits more snugly and no longer requires a set screw. The hickory handle seems nice and solid. It measures a full 22". The head is 7" from poll to bevel. I will update this review and add photos as I customize and use the hawk for various duties. This is going to be a fun project! I am completely pleased with this product and will be ordering more versions. Aside from the inept assembly this is an outstanding product. Order one! Update, six months after receiving: I have used my Trail Hawk countless times. I have processed wood, pounded tent stakes into hard earth, done some rough carving and even tested it with processing game. It has performed nicely. I still carry my Forest Axe on longer excursions, but the tomahawk has replaced it and a few other tools in my pack for lightweight or minimalist ventures. I have sanded and re-contoured the handle, as well as filed the eye of the head for a nearly perfect fit. I stripped the paint off of the head and at first tried to force a patina with mustard. It didn't take hardly at all. Right before applying a black oxide finish (rust-bluing), I polished the entire head. I as well slightly re-profiled the poll. With the application of mustard to the smooth, almost mirror finish steel the patina took beautifully. After several coats and a few hours I took the head back to the bench and re-polished the poll and the bevel and ran it over the water stones until it was shaving sharp. The handle got a nice coat of dark walnut stain and some Algonquin designs with a wood burner tip. I now have a beautiful tomahawk that if sold in this condition would be priced above a hundred dollars. It out performed my expectations and I regard it as an essential item when heading outdoors, even for a day-hike. You simply cannot go wrong with this product, especially at this price point! ## Features - Modeled after an early frontier pattern, the Cold Steel Trail Hawk has proven to be incredibly popular with Survivalists, Preppers and Outdoorsmen, who admire its versatility and durability - An excellent chopping tool and has a functional hammer poll with a hardened face so you can drive nails and hammer in stakes; Extremely lightweight and a cinch to tuck it under your belt or lash it to a pack or shooting bag - American Tomahawk Head is of tough and durable drop forged 1055 carbon steel (Note: Sheath sold separately) - Durable American Hickory wood handle - Overall Length: 22 inches; Blade Edge Length: 2.25 inches; Weight: 23.6 ounces - Overall Length: 22.00" - Handle Material: American Hickory - Blade Length: 6 1/2" (Hawk Length) - Weight: 1.34 lbs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0014BMBA6 | | Blade Edge | Plain | | Blade Length | 2.25 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Trail Hawk | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,149 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442003991 | | Handle Material | Hickory Wood | | Head Type | Tomahawk | | Head Weight | 17 Ounces | | Included Components | Drop Forged Tomahawk | | Item Dimensions L x W | 22"L x 2.25"W | | Item Type Name | Drop Forged Tomahawk | | Item Weight | 0.65 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Manufacturer Part Number | CS-90TH | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year Limited | | Model Number | 90TH | | Product Dimensions | 22"L x 2.25"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | chop | | Style Name | Drop Forged Tomahawk | | UPC | 710551809242 705442003991 702785959633 738076231072 705420039912 730707261083 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Color:** Trail Hawk - **Handle Material:** Hickory Wood - **Head Type:** Tomahawk - **Product Dimensions:** 22"L x 2.25"W ## Images ![Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61z0eiyy5hL.jpg) ![Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XGv54PjdL.jpg) ![Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MH5dzgQ7L.jpg) ![Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ymnCuLaKL.jpg) ![Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XQ4+3xG6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty Good, Flies Well, I don't like the Set Screw... *by K***X on April 4, 2018* *UPDATE* I’ve throw a lot more than the past me, and this is still a great hawk.

Cold Steel needs to get rid of the set screw. *by H***Y on December 11, 2018* Let’s start off with the bad. I have to knock one star off for the set screw. It’s in their very tight, and it strips easily. It felt like it had loctite on it. You need the correct size Allen wrench and it needs to be made well. My el cheapo harbor freight Allen wrench stripped the screw out. I used it with the screw for a few camping trips. The shaft cracked very quickly along the screw. Eventually I took the shaft out by knocking it on my concrete driveway and I took a Dremel to the tail of the screw. It took about 5 minutes to grind flush with hawk eye using a sanding drum. Now it’s a perfect hawk. Eventually I’ll replace the cracked shaft but it works now. EBay has them for 10 bucks. Onto the good. This is a great hawk. It has good edge retention. It comes sharp but not crazy sharp like most of Cold Steels stuff. For throwing: I’ve spent hours upon hours throwing it at dead trees. It sticks and it makes a nice loud thud when it hits. If you are between this one and a more tacitcal tomahawk like the SOG Tactical tomahawk, I’ll say the SOG throws easier. However, the handle on this one can be shortened or you can make one that’s longer. That means that it’s very easy to customize it for the right throwing balance. My cracked shaft shows some wear and tear from throwing but it’s held up well as could be expected. The head has a few scratches in the paint but there is 0 cracks or chips to the head itself. For chopping: As a chopper, this is good for light chopping. I had a hard time splitting firewood with it. The blade is very short in height so it’s hard to sink it into the end of wood. The head itself is very narrow so it doesn’t separate the wood as easily. However, it is great for gathering kindling sized wood. For the past few camping trips, I carried a small pocket chainsaw for cutting rounds of fuel to length. I carried a Condor Moonshiner Bowie knife for batoning rounds into fuel sized firewood. I carried this for handling kindling sized branches and such. The Moonshiner could do that work too but the trail hawk has a little more reach so it’s really handy for pulling dry kindling from trees when the ground is wet. That brings me to my next topic of focus. This is a true all-around woods tool: I’ve used the hammer for driving tent and rainfly stakes. I’ve taken the head off of the handle and used it to cut shavings from firewood to be used as tinder. I’ve stuck it into logs and used the handle to drag them out of the brush and back to camp. I’ve made usable handles for it from branches. You could literally carry only the head with you into woods and use it to make a handle. I own a lot of axes and tomahawks and this is my favorite woods tool. As a fighting tool: I’m not a tomahawk fighter but I’ve been trained in mixed martial arts. If you consider a tomahawk to be a viable defensive tool then you can rightfully consider this one to be useful for self defense. After you remove the set screw, the quality is there. I like the length and the plain jane handle but this hawk is very customizable. If you wanted to change the length of the handle or add features to make it better for defense, you certainly could. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel 90TH Trail Hawk American Hickory Handle, One Size (Package May Vary) - Cold Steel (SC90TH) Trail Hawk Sheath - Cold Steel CS-H90AT: Tomahawk 22" Handle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1714049-cold-steel-90th-trail-hawk-american-hickory-handle-one-size](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1714049-cold-steel-90th-trail-hawk-american-hickory-handle-one-size) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
