SPIKE IT RICH!

KNIFE IMAGES BY MARTY STANFIELD, MARTY STANFIELD PHOTOGRAPHY

Spike tomahawks are fascinating tools. You can cut, chop, pry, hammer and penetrate with them. They can be handy as camping implements or in tactical applications.

In the tactical realm, tomahawks can be used in numerous rescue applications or as a backup weapon if needed. Be they folding or fixed, knives are limited when it comes to such heavy uses as chopping and hacking. The longer handle of a hawk offers more leverage and power in a chopping stroke.

One of the latest designs from RMJ Tactical is this issue’s cover piece, the Knight Hawk. ABS master smith Jason Knight and RMJ Tactical co-designed it to handle a variety of jobs, not just chopping. Fourteen-and-a-half inches overall, it weighs 1 pound, 7 ounces and feels very agile in hand. The cutting edge is 2.875 inches, and the head and handle are durable 52100 carbon steel. Blade thickness: .275 inch. The handle is 3D-machined black G-10 riveted/permanently
