 Fast Hawk - Smaller, Faster and just as nice as the originalNov 17, 2010
By The Traveller
"Bristol View"
I've had the larger SOG Tactical Tomahawk for some time now, and it has become one of my most used woods tools. The larger F01T Tactical Tomahawk is well made, holds a good edge, and holds up to my (almost daily) heavy use very well. I've wanted to use it as an everyday carry with my gear, but it was too heavy to justify. I wanted something just as nice but smaller, lighter and able to be carried easier. The RMJ Kestrel fits this need perfectly, but it costs over $400 so that's hard to justify. The SOG tomahawks are a great value for the price.
Enter the SOG F06-N Fast Hawk, a slightly smaller version of the larger one. I was surprised when I opened the package, it was smaller than I had expected. Everything was smaller. The handle is not only shorter, but it is thinner as well. Same with the head, smaller but also thinner. It looks like SOG kept the overall balance by making all dimensions smaller. The overall effect is more than a shorter tactical tomahawk, it is a substantially lighter one too. For those looking for a Tactical Hawk, this allows for very fast strikes. For the rest of us who use a hawk as a tool, it makes for a lighter tool, easier to carry, and less fatigue from a day of heavy use. While the small head and lighter weight don't lend themselves to the heavy duty tree work, that the larger version excels at, it is a good compromise and makes limbing trees a breeze. The faster strike makes up for some of the lost weight, but not all. So far, I like it.
I have been clearing scrub, dead falls and other nuisance growth in my woods. I have extensive experience with the larger SOG hawk working in this manner. It is great. Today, I took this new Fast Hawk to see how it does. In a word, great. I wouldn't want to drop a tree over about 6 inches in diameter with it, but it could if needed. For smaller scrub, sumac, and other wild weed like softwoods, it made short work of them. I much prefer this new Fast Hawk for taking the limbs off, short fast strikes shave them right off almost effortlessly. It is small enough and light enough to attach as a piece of my standard gear now. I like it, I like it a lot.
The larger one throws very well, so I wondered how this little one would fly. It does that well too. The short length gives it a fast spin, so I had to adjust for that, but once I got used to it, it was sinking and sticking in stumps with a good thud. Yup, it throws just as well as the larger version. I don't know why you'd need to do that, but it is fun once in awhile to pass a few minutes. I'll post some comparison pictures of the two so you can see for yourself.
For the price, it's highly recommended. It's light enough to take hiking and leave it on my gear. Even though it is smaller, it is still tough enough for real world use, it'll take it.

 Ultralight backpacking for womenDec 26, 2010
By Patti Rokus
I know, most of you are men reading this; but I'd like to mention that this is a great tool for a woman.
I'm a backpacker, and unfortunately don't always get to have a man with me. I needed something lightweight, but powerful, and this tool is it. My brother gave it to me as a Christmas present, and it's one of the most thoughtful and useful things I received. Hurray for brothers. Thanks John! I plan to use it for wood collecting, clearing shrubs, pounding tent stakes, and heaven forbid, self defense. It throws nicely.

unbeatable price for an awesome tool.Mar 14, 2011
By Gai King
I was of the big knife school of survival. One knife large enough to chop, slit, etc. After buying this hawk I have changed my tune.
It is excellently made. The haft, the fit and finish, the attachment to the head, are all very good. My only gripe is 420J stainless isn't the most resilient steel out there. I would have preferred a something like 1095 with a nice heat treat. Still I can't really complain after I've punched the spike through several 55 gallon drums without damaging the spike. Add to that lots of hole digging (with the spike) and lots of chopping. I did make the mistake of sharpening mine to shaving sharp, so I expect I may roll the edge with heavy chopping. Still for the price this is a great tool.
Update!
I've had this tool for a while now and I must say I still really like it. A recent camping trip saw me using this and a small imperial $5 folding knife for everything I needed. Tent stakes were no problem as the middle of the head is checkered. I split wood into kindling and kindling into tinder. I even made fuzz sticks with this beast. I used the spike to dig rocks out of the ground for the fire pit. I made short work of several small tree stumps that were in dangerous places for hikers or in the way of tents. I did in fact roll and nick the blade as I expected. This was due to my sharpening the edge too a very steep angle with a diamond hone, then using the hawk to chop into the ground to remove the stumps. Still, a few passes with an EZ lap and all was well. My only gripe is during any really heavy chopping. We found a huge log that someone tried to burn one end of instead of cutting it. I used the SOG tomahawk to chop the burned ends off. The wood was very well seasoned and very hard. I think the haft was absorbing some of the hits, as it is a tiny bit flexy so it doesn't break when you throw it. It is not as stiff as a hickory haft, but this is a good thing if you throw this hawk often. All in all I'm still very happy with this tool.

Zombieland Camp AxeMar 29, 2011
By MR. & MRS. "B"
"D & M"
Specs: 2" blade edge...3" depth to handle....spike 5/8" x 1/8" taper, 2-1/4" to handle...handle 12" bottom to top of head, x 1-1/8" x 13/16" oval of black grooved poly and hole in butt for lanyard. Head attached to handle by 4 torqex screws with a re-enforcing ferrule. Impressed checkering on sides of head for non-slip pounding. Finished in black. Sheath is stiff black cordura, hollow rivets with 3 snaps on bottom...1-1/4" belt loop. Go to "sogknives.com" for more specs and a short vid.
As much as they want to say, this isn't a camper's axe. The edge is semi-hollow ground, and only 9/16" before the hole in blade, limiting the amount of resharpening. I was able to shave my arm with the factory edge. The edge angle is such that the cutting edge starts cutting at the top first when striking. The spike is an abrupt angle edge. Handle is grooved, but it is still somewhat slick.
Tried this axe out on a 55gal drum; pierced the sides easily with only marring the paint, using the spike. The Mrs. performed it easily but complained the handle was a bit slick. She chopped on some red fir firewood, but it was near impossible to split the wood due to light weight. This axe is designed with more towards "Urban Survival" in mind. Cutting through drywall was not a problem. It did take repeated strikes for about 4 minutes to get through a wall stud. Tried the spike on a junk vehicle side window & it shattered it easily. We had a fresh, road killed deer near our place. The spike will easily pierce the skull bone with little effort. The cutting edge will penetrate all the way through hide & meat until stopped by the handle. Long swinging slashes to the ribcage severed the ribs completely. Very little dulling of edge even after repeated strikes into bone. Axe cleaned up quickly with soap & water.
Wife likes this tool. Has a good use as a vehicle tool when critters reach in through the window and breaking out windows for escape. Would be useful in cutting a last ditch exit out of a room when other exits would be blocked. Would make a great defensive tool in hands that had a bit of training. The slick handle can be overcome by a nylon cord loop or wrapping the handle with para-cord. The sheath has a lot to be desired for belt carry, but the hollow rivets allow for lashing to a bailout bag. Can be attached under the dash by screws through the hollow rivets. Great cutting tool for the price, but a poor choice for a small camping axe. Get a Estwing axe for that. Only main complaint I have is that it is "Made in China". Gave it a 5 Star due to the intended design of personal defense/escape tool.

great tool for the zombie invasionJun 06, 2011
By J. Okada
"jake from el segundo"
the fast hawk is a scaled down version of sog's "fusion" tomahawk, it feels much handier than the larger, a little more easily concealed (?) the blade is very sharp, construction solid, marketed more as a "tactical tomahawk" than the larger fusion which was billed more as an "emergency entry tool" or camp axe (hmmmm right)
the only negative i can say about the fasthawk and its larger sibling is that the gripping surface may not offer enough traction for wet work (if ya know what i mean)
the fasthawk head is attached to the handle by two bolts which pass through the tang of the head, seems more solidly attached than most other tomahawks
[see mel gibson in "the patriot" for use]
