The Gerber Gear Tactical Downrange Tomahawk is a marvel of simplicity and efficiency in service of solving serious problems. When you’re in a situation where time is of the essence, you can’t waste time wondering if you have the right tool for the job. No matter what’s on the other side of that door or barrier, you want a tool with the same single-minded determination as the man wielding it. No moving parts to break or jam, no extraneous gimmicks to get in the way—just a well-thought-out design and three-quarters of a century of Gerber craftsmanship in your hands.
This Gerber axe offers a three-tiered approach to tactical breaching. The axe head’s beveled edge is capable of chopping through drywall and turning walls and doors to splinters. The backside of the axe head functions as a hammer for getting through hinges, locks, doorknobs, and anything else that’s there to slow you down. The third threat is a pry bar at the end of the handle, controlled by a cutaway grip in the axe head.
Tomahawks don’t exactly fit in your pocket, so it comes with a sheath that’s as practical as the tool itself. No matter what line of duty you serve in, if this tactical axe is going to make it to where the action is, it has to be easy to carry. This is where the included MOLLE-compatible sheath comes into play. It readily attaches to your pack, standard webbing, or body armor, so it goes where you go.
Like all Gerber products, the Downrange Tomahawk is backed by the Gerber Guarantee, our limited lifetime warranty.

Mr.Metalsmith –
Best Survival & OR Tactical Tomahawk on the market.
This Gerber Tomahawk is the best survival & (or) Tactical Tomahawk I have ever owned. The design is outstanding, The tang is thick and the G20 handle scales are wonderful. I personally was looking for something that would give me a good weapon for self defense in any situation, but especially for survival purposes. The other side of it was finding the best hatchet or axe to use for multiple tasks. with this tool you can brake in or out of some place, you could assemble and dissemble an entire camp site with this tool, dig holes easily (I have done this a few times now). A big deal for me was finding a tomahawk I could easily use two hands on as well as use single handedly at my differing availability, Gerber has provided that product. I also have the small Bear Grylls hatchet from Gerber, coupled with this which fits and stays in my survival/camping bag, theres nothing I can’t get done. Big jobs and small, they both do incredible work and make my most my tasks short lived obstacle’s in comparison with to many other products.When they designed this hawk it was designed with breaching in mind so it was built to stand up to abuse, right off the bat this is the first and one of the most important details. It is a FULL TANG tomahawk, (so don’t pay any mind to the review commenting on the loose axe head, apparently a rip off or totally different product), and it has a wonderful weight balance, although it has a good size to it you are able to comfortably choke up on the head for fine wood work. The butt flairs out a bit, slowly, as you move from the axe and hammer head down to the nail puller on the end of the crow bar. Lets say this little jammie packs the punch of a regular wood axe in the package of beautifully crafted tomahawk that makes you makes you feel safer just having. One that includes Gerber’s full lifetime warranty, which they have a phenomenal track record with. I am a loyal Gerber customer. I have many, many products and to this day, at age 22, I can’t say any one has ever let me down. But to be fair it took me close to two months of watching reviews, looking over pictures and reviews of this product, the Boker “Tomahook”, and CRKT’s T-hawk, not in that particular order. But this girl came out on top. The Gerber Downrange Tomahawk, She’s a BEAST. I also own or have owned the SOG Fasthawk both smaller and larger sizes, Bear Grylls Gerber Hatchet, Easting hatchet, coleman camp hatchet, Fiskars/Gerber wood axe full size, and the Schrade survival tomahawk (not the one with fire starter but a crow bar similar to the reviewed tomahawk). The only one’s that are good at all are the Gerber’s, all three are perfect for their intended purpose, the Schrade tomahawk is a great substitute if the gerber downrange is too expensive in all honesty, SOG’s are good for throwing but not at all a survival option in my opinion.

After comparing to other, less expensive options, the price is warranted.
Adding a hammer on the back of a blade is tricky. That weight makes the blade want to flop to one side or the other. This hatchet doesn’t have that issue.It comes dull, but for a campfire log splitter/ wedge, that is fine because it requires no maintenance to keep the “sharpness” where it is at. The steel is very good quality so you could put a reliable edge on it with no problem.The handle is just long enough for me to put a lot of power behind a two-handed swing safely but also short enough that I can be precise one-handed. Ditto for the weight.I like that it comes out the bottom of the Kydex blade cover rather than the top like most hatchets.I like that the blade cover is quality Kydex.The “molly” attachment is junk in comparison to the professional level of the rest of the hatchet and Kydex cover but I’ll live with it.I strapped this to the back of my plate carrier for LARPING and it looks awesome but I bought it for camping; splitting minimal logs for one or two nights and pounding in tent stakes. I’ll keep it in the car for emergency zombie attacks as well.There are better hatchets for just campground wood processing, especially for a long stay or a long hike. There are better hammers. There are better crowbars. In a zombie attack, this wouldn’t even be my first mele choice either I would choose a different axe, hammer, or crowbar.Not to mention, If you go to Home Depot and buy a full-size axe, large framing hammer and a big professional pry bar you’ll leave with $50 to $60 in your pocket compared to the $189 I spent on this. So it is hard to explain the niche that this item fills but once you have it you’ll get it. I am not sending this thing back.

awesome hawk, mounting system is kinda meh…
Once again, Gerber knocks it out of the park with a truly top-shelf tool. What do I like about it? Almost everything. From the head to the end of the prybar is one solid piece of steel, and it’s beefy, but not too heavy to add to your ruck. The integrated handle cut-out in the head works great without compromising the integrity or effectiveness of the tool. You can still grip the handle, even with the sheath on, and you can use the hammer end of the head without removing the sheath as well. The scales on the handle are super tough, and also easy to grip even when wet or when wearing gloves or mittens. What do I not like? With this product, Gerber did not live up to their usual standard when it comes to the mounting system. It’s advertised as “MOLLE.” While you can easily mount it to a standard MOLLE panel, the straps are floppy nylon webbing, not standard stiff MOLLE straps, which means that it tends to flop around a lot more than I would like. The two points where it’s intended to be mounted to a MOLLE system are so far apart that it would be rare to find a MOLLE loop panel (on any piece of kit) large enough to securely mount both points. There are two leather snap loops that hold the tool onto this mounting system, and they don’t seem like they’re going to last long. I do like the rigid pocket that holds the end of the pry bar in place though. Lastly, the end of the snap strap that holds the sheath in place is too short to grip while wearing gloves, which makes quick removal of the sheath difficult. One final thing- many reviewers mention that it doesn’t come factory-sharpened; keep in mind that a tomahawk is a splitting tool, not a slicing tool, so it works as a wedge, not a blade, and isn’t intended to be extremely sharp. If you want yours sharp for some reason, it would be very easy to put an edge on this tool, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Overall, I’d love to give this tomahawk ten stars, but the shortfalls with the mounting system can’t be overlooked. If you can deal with that part, or customize your own, then look no further, this is the tool for you.

Bought it on impulse casue who doesnt love a hammer called the “ding dong” haha. Great build quality and very durable as it should be. It is expensive for what it is but its more so something to say you have. Did not come with any packaging so im not sure if it was new product or used. Since it was for me i didnt care for packaging but if it was a gift i wish it did. At the end of the day its more so a novelty but cool to keep in your truck.
