Review: Light weight - Compared to my trench hawk the M48 is a light weight. That just happens to be just what I was looking for. A light smaller hawk to be the alpha to the beta condor jungle bowie. Both are not heavy but nimble and work well together. My other combination is the cold steel trench hawk and cold steel chaos tanto. The weight really goes up with those two. But back to this hawk. I would not say it is for heavy abuse like breaking bricks and tearing down steel vault doors. Jumping buildings in a single bound and all the other superman stuff some people try to put it through. You know you guys, The ones that use a nice katana to cut a tree down....or a cheap katana,,,dude,,,get an ax or buy a saw, GEESH. Use the items for what they are intended for and if you need a crowbar...well, that is why they make crowbars. In my opinion this is a light weight defensive tool. It is nowhere in the ugly beast category the cold steel trench hawk is in. That trench hawk is tough as it looks, wicked mean looking, and will hold up to much more abuse the m48 would. And for about the same price. All I am saying is if you pick the tool for the job, you will be much happier and not writing unhappy reviews. The fit and finish on this is good to very good. It is sharp but could be sharper and the grip could use some improvement. But those things I can fix and the price is right. It is a fast striker and leaves a mark. So far seems tough enough for my purpose. So 5 stars it is and if you decide to buy one, it would make a fine addition to your tool box. Here is a follow up. I covered the haft in that non slip sand paper like stuff they use for stairs. It feels much better. For my cold steel african walking stick I bought some cane tips. I had some left over and stuck on one the end. It went on snug and helps with weapon retention. Review: Pretty, sharp, pokey toy - I ordered this for my emergency kit to keep in my car. I already have a small hand axe but, it's way too small to really cut anything substantial. I also have a nice sized rock hammer and while it's good for digging into the ground and crushing rock, it's not very practical for a survival situation. Now I have the M48 Hawk and it's a really wonderful tool for my kit bag. 1st - while it is a small, personal axe; the handle is long enough to use with two hands to really get some power into the swing to be able to dig into or take down some decent diameter firewood. 2nd - the pick on the back allows for entrenching like my rock hammer but, I am able to cut and entrench in one tool. Yes, I know, the back edge is more for personal defense and breaching, however, it is good to be able to dig a water channel around your camping site so you don't get wet or dig for water in an old river bed as well. 3rd - the nylon handle makes it quite a bit lighter overall and with it being so blade heavy, you really get some power on the down stroke, kind of like you get with a kukri. 4th - since the blade is stainless, I'm very much hoping I will be able to keep it in my car and not have to worry about rust spots from condensation from temperature fluctuations. Overall, a very good investment in camping, emergency survival equipment. ## Features - Precision Blade: Features a 3 7/8" precision cast stainless steel blade for reliable performance in any situation. - Durable Construction: 8" axe head attached to the handle with three bolts for added strength and stability. - Nylon Reinforced Handle: Built with a nylon reinforced fiberglass handle for lightweight durability and easy handling. - Includes Sheath: Comes with a durable nylon sheath for safe storage and convenient carry. - Overall Length: Measures 15" in overall length, providing optimal reach and versatility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004INXUOS | | Best Sellers Rank | #241,890 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #265 in Camping Axes & Hatchets | | Blade Edge | Straight" or "Flat | | Blade Length | 3.88 inches | | Blade Material | 2Cr13 stainless steel | | Brand | M48 | | Brand Name | M48 | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,204 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00760729276505 | | Handle Material | Fiberglass,Nylon,Stainless Steel | | Head Type | Hatchet | | Included Components | Sheath | | Item Dimensions L x W | 17.5"L x 10"W | | Item Highlight | 3 ⅞” Cast Stainless Steel Combat Axe with Piercing Spike | Nylon Cord Wrapped Fiberglass Handle | | Item Weight | 0.2 kg | | Manufacturer | United Cutlery | | Manufacturer Part Number | 9276505-SSI | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | If any United Cutlery product proves defective in material or workmanship, we will repair or replace the affected parts at no charge following receipt of the damaged or defective items. | | Model Number | UC2765 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 17.5"L x 10"W | | Recommended Uses For Product | Combat | | Style Name | Tactical Tomahawk | | UPC | 757274530602 760729276505 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** M48 - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass,Nylon,Stainless Steel - **Head Type:** Hatchet - **Product Dimensions:** 17.5"L x 10"W ## Images ![Tactical Tomahawk Military Axe - Black Color - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51mWrXj9D8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light weight *by T***E on October 14, 2013* Compared to my trench hawk the M48 is a light weight.

Let me be clear: I'm very impressed. United Cutlery has made a fine, fine tool. My initial impression was that it was a very head-heavy axe and at first it didn't feel good in my hands. Its weight was unexpected, and the handle seemed too slim for my hands. But it looks beastly and very aggressive and appeared well constructed and sturdy. I took it out and took a throw at a tree and was disappointed that it didn't stick, but it did make a rather nasty gash in the poor thing. So I set up a large piece of 1/2 plywood with some linoleum tile on it from a destruction project (home improvement) that we're working on. Let me say, the M48 is a natural thrower and the spike is simply vicious. A nice and easy throw from 10-15 feet easily penetrated the target, and in no time you can achieve a pretty good degree of accuracy. I painted a man-sized target on the plywood and highlighted some vitals and with a little work, I was able to routinely hit the spots at which I was aiming. The axe blade doesn't routinely stick without putting some additional force behind it, but it'll certainly do the job. After throwing a hundred or so times, the metal shows virtually no signs of wear except for the removal of some of the bluing/paint, and this despite there still being a fair amount of nails in the wood. (I'm not easy on this gear - who wants to buy something like this and baby it?) Thinking the handle too slim, I decided to wrap it in 550 paracord. While it looks great, it has changed the weight and it'll take some practice to get back to the level of accuracy/competence that I had with the M48 out of the box. The handle now feels fatter and has a much better grip, but with the degradation in throwing ability, I might have to remove the wrap. The only weakness to this hawk is the aforementioned handle, which some might find too slim. While it is grooved, I'm not sure it would be sufficiently "grippy" in wet conditions. Other than that, I'd have to say that the M48 is a great investment. EDIT: As I mentioned above, the only weakness was the handle. This proved to be prophetic, as the handle broke yesterday after a throw into a wooden target. I'd still recommend this hawk, as I got several hundred throws out of it and was not easy on it at all. I'm going to take the well-built axe head off it and find a new haft and it'll be as good as new. ## Frequently Bought Together - M48 Tactical Tomahawk Military Axe - Black Color | 3 ⅞” Cast Stainless Steel Combat Axe with Piercing Spike | Nylon Cord Wrapped Fiberglass Handle | Camping and Tactical Gear | 15” Length - M48 Kommando Talon Survival Spear | 44 1/8" Overall Length | 8" Stainless Steel Blade | Includes Vortec Sheath | Fiberglass Reinforced Handle - Combat Commander Gladiator Sword | Full-Tang Gladius Sword | 16 5/8" Razor Sharp Blade | 1060 High Carbon Steel Roman Sword Real | TPR Rubberized Handle | Reinforced Nylon Sheath | 24" Length --- ## 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.pt/products/1217901-tactical-tomahawk-military-axe-black-color](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1217901-tactical-tomahawk-military-axe-black-color) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
