M48 Ranger Tomahawk Axe with Lensatic Compass and Sheath

I absolutely love this freakin Axe!! It’s hands-down one of the best I have ever used always keeps a good sharp edge it’s built like a tank takes a beating yet still looks amazing, Christ,..I’d marry this axe if it didn’t have a beard lol! A 110% WINNER OF AN AXE!

It's good but you can't abuse it because of the lightweight handle

this tomahawk is a very sturdy solid weapon. I have used this for a week, throwing and cutting down trees and its still in amazing condition. one thing is that the compass wasn't as great as some other ones I've seen but it still works. over all I'm glad i bought this weapon and would gladly buy from this site again.

I ordered two of these, one was a gift, the M48 Marine version. A week after I received them, the price dropped, a week after that it dropped again! Damn the luck! Aside from that, this is an AWESOME tomahawk! Well worth the money, very well balanced, very sharp, and very well made! The only modification I will be making will be to the paracord wrapped handle. It tends to loosen up with use and if not adressed could become a hazard. This gets an easy 4-5 stars!

Great tool compass is poor but I upgraded for the mollie comp. pouch. I've had it for about 6 months, been using this alot but haven't really abused it. I rarely give 5 stars but I think this tomahawk has erned it.

This is a great update to the old style tomahawk. i had one when i was in the core and loved it. this one has paracord wrapped around the handle and like other folks it cam lose on me after i tried it out so i just re-ran it down the handle and now works great. i split a four inch thick log that was two feet long in one blow and the spike went in like butter. and i got this within 24 hours also the compass is really good to.

I recently purchased the advanced combat tactical tomahawk. I am impressed with the overall design and construction. The head is very sharp and is made from decent materials which appear to be very durable. However the spike on the end was not sharp. The balance is a little light on the handle. The corded handle was a joke, I removed it within seconds. The sheath fits loosely over the head, if pulled down at an angle the point of the head which is VERY sharp will pull down and stick out about a quarter of inch of the bottom. In a battle situation it could slice open your fingers when you try to remove it. I have addressed these problems. I sharpened the end spike, put on a new handle grip, designed and built a new sheath, balanced it for throwing. I would not use this tomahawk as a tool, but it is a kick ass weapon. Needless to say I am ready for the Zombie Invasion now!! Lol. Great customer service and fast delivery. I give it 5 Stars!!!

I just got this today and haven't gotten a chance to test it but feels very sturdy and durable. Right out of the box the only issues I see are the head is smaller than I thought it would be but still big enough to do whatever it is you need it to do. Not sure if the spike end is suppose to be sharp but it was dull. and the wrap feels a little loose

It's incredibly durable and can easily with stand blunt strikes and blows as well as being thrown. It is incredibly high quality for it's price. The nylon sheathe is also not your typical flappy nonsense but is actually very high end and usable.<br /><br />The only issue was that the 550 cord wrapping slid off of the handle on the first throw. After the second throw it came nearly completely off. So I just took it off and honestly, it's better without it. You can get a much better grip and not have to worry about it slipping off if you just take it off right away.<br /><br />Overall 5/5.

This axe is excellent! It's sturdy, sharp, and appealing to the eye. The compass is useful, but the materials used to make it could be higher quality, like maybe a metal body instead of plastic. If you're buying this just for the axe/compass combo, it's probably not worth the extra $10. However, if you're buying it because you also like the color, which is slightly more green than in the image, then it's worth it. My one real complaint that gave this a 4 star rating is something that I suspect is just a rare case. Upon examination of the spike on the back of the axe head, it appears as though the very tip of it might have been previously chipped off and sanded down to a slightly uneven surface, dulling said tip making it not as effective in piercing. As I said before though, I believe this is just my rare experience. If it weren't for this chip, I'd have given this axe a 5 star rating in a heartbeat. It's a very good axe otherwise, and I still highly recommend the M48 Tactical Tomahawk in general to everyone.

very pleased with product, very sharp end points and sticks very well also. the onlt thing i didnt like is after teh first few throws the paracord had began to fall off and i had to retie it. and the head is a lot small than you think

Good for what it is, this is not a heavy duty Tomahawk, the handle is not as heavy as it could be...the Compass is just a little toy that I had to give my grand daughter, the bezel is in a fixed position so you cant put in any declination, the compass it self only works when it wants to, and because it is such a light weight plastic, I would recommend getting a real Lensatic Compass, old military issue.

It was actually a very great decently balance tomahawk buuuut after around 50 throws or so the handle broke where the metal starts. It was a huge disappointment. I would understand it to be a lower price, but that's too expensive for 50 throws.
