Estwing Black Eagle Tomahawk Axe

A tomahawk is a type of single-handed axe from North America, traditionally resembling a hatchet with a straight shaft. It has been popular with the military since the 18th century and was used by both sides of the American Revolution.

Estwing's American-made Black Eagle Tomahawk Axes are designed for sportsmen and military professionals, e.g. breaking automobile safety glass, prying open a jammed car door, and bushcraft operations. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry and features Estwing's Shock Reduction Grip for comfort and durability. Black Eagle tools are perfectly balanced and weighted and made to last. American forged in one piece out of genuine American steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the EBTA, E6-TA, ETA, and ETTA models?
They share the same forged steel head, 2.5" cutting edge, and 2.75" spike, but differ in grip and color: EBTA is Black with a vinyl grip, E6-TA is Blue with a vinyl grip, ETTA is Desert Camo with a vinyl grip, and ETA is Black with a genuine leather grip instead of vinyl, making it slightly heavier (2.00 lb versus 24oz).
Why does one-piece forged construction matter for a tomahawk like this?
Two-piece tomahawks with a separately attached head can loosen over time or under repeated impact, creating a real safety risk if the head separates from the handle mid-swing. The one-piece forged design eliminates that failure point entirely, at the cost of not being able to replace the handle separately if it wears out.
Is the leather grip (ETA) actually better than the vinyl Shock Reduction Grip, or just a style preference?
The vinyl Shock Reduction Grip is specifically engineered to reduce impact vibration by 70%, which matters most during repeated heavy use. Genuine leather offers a different feel and classic look but doesn't carry the same documented vibration-reduction claim, so if comfort during extended use is the priority, the vinyl grip models have the edge; if traditional aesthetics matter more, the leather grip is the choice.
