Cold Steel War Hawk combines the tactical styling and material used in our popular Trench Hawk with historically inspired design elements from fighting hand-axes of old. With its wide bearded axe head and curved reinforced reverse Tanto style spike it is a thoroughly modern tactical tomahawk and breaching tool. Each War Hawk is supplied with a patented articulated Secure-Ex sheath.
This cunning little hatchet is small enough not to be a pain but big enough to chop and cut in a substantial way. Its a great accessory/tool to carry on any outdoor adventure. It shares the same clamp-like locking mechanism of our Hudson Bay Camp Axe and has a blade shape that has been proven over hundreds of years to be very effective and versatile.
The Rifleman’s Hawk has a functional hexagonal hammer poll designed for serious work, like pounding nails or stakes. Reminiscent of some early American designs, the Rifleman’s Hawk features the peace pipe appearance that was commonly used by Native Americans during the last century. In terms of fun and sport, this hawk throws and sticks extremely well.
Modeled after an early frontier pattern, the Cold Steel Trail Hawk has proven to be incredibly popular with Survivalists, Preppers and Outdoorsmen, who admire its versatility and durability. Its an excellent chopping tool and has a functional hammer poll with a hardened face so you can drive nails and hammer in stakes. Its extremely lightweight and a cinch to tuck it under your belt or lash it to a pack or shooting bag.
The historically inspired Viking Hand Axe is a design collaboration between Lynn C. Thompson and custom bladesmiths Dave Baker and Rich McDonald. The stout 30″ American Hickory handle, extra broad and sharp cutting edge, hooking beard and up-swept thrusting horn combine to make a formidable fighting axe that would be the pride of any Vikings collection.
The Cold Steel Axe Head Cane is a direct response to our fans, friends and customers. For years now we have been asked to bring out our very own crook-top walking stick. The Axe Head Cane represents the culmination of years of design and development. Combining our own study of the combative use of crook-topped canes in the world of Martial Arts with inspiration from historical hatchet-headed walking sticks, we created a new axe-headed cane that remains perfectly innocuous for everyday use but can be deployed in a myriad of different ways in a last-ditch self-defense situation. Made from high-impact polypropylene, the Axe Head Cane will withstand even the harshest weather conditions and will never crack, warp or rot like a conventional wooden stick.
The walking stick is so much more than just an aid to stability for the injured, ill or infirm. As any hiker or outdoorsman will tell you, it’s also an excellent tool for traversing rough, slippery, uneven and treacherous terrain, a useful pointer or probe and in dire straits it makes a capable self-defense option. The Walkabout was a much-loved classic from our earlier line up. A fan favorite that just begged to be re-released. The latest incarnation of this popular design is made from durable and highly impact resistant polypropylene. Unlike wood, it’s extremely weather resistant and withstands inclement conditions that would cause a conventional stick to crack, warp or rot. The Walkabouts handsome wood grain texture provides an excellent grip without sacrificing comfort or ease of use and its simple one-piece construction makes it tough while still remaining light enough to carry and use all day.
Our President, Lynn C. Thompson has spent a lifetime collecting walking sticks and wooden weapons and has amassed quite a collection of these beautiful handmade sticks. He has always had a particular fondness for the Knob Kerrie, a ball headed walking stick from Africa. Our interpretation of this African Walking Stick features some of the finest features of the traditional Zulu Kerrie the undulating shaft, and distinctive geodesic ball – but instead of using expensive exotic hardwoods, we’ve made ours out of high-impact Polypropylene. This means that, in addition to being incredibly durable, it won’t rot, warp, crack, splinter, swell, shrink, mildew or fade. Although its primary function will always be as a walking stick to aid one’s balance when crossing uneven, slippery or rough terrain, it also makes a formidable self-defense option in an emergency.
Martial Artists have known a simple truth for ages If your ultimate goal is to wield a sharp blade safely and effectively, you need to supplement your training with a tool that approximates the size, feel and heft of a blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous, permanent injury to yourself or your training partner. This concept was implemented by many cultures, including the ancient Romans, who used wooden swords to train their Gladiators. The only problem was that wooden training tools can rot, crack, chip or splinter and could not be used in all weather conditions. Cold Steels solution to these dilemmas was to design a line of synthetic polymer substitutes. They are waterproof, weatherproof and astonishingly durable.
Our Japanese Training Swords are closely modeled after our world-famous Warrior series swords. Their wide blades imitate the flowing lines of our Warrior swords, but as they are made from super tough polypropylene, with no sharp edges or points they are perfect for armored sparring, training, conditioning drills and pell work. Each model features an intricately detailed imitation cord wrap grip, offering superior control even when wearing heavy gloves.

The Pocket Bushman was designed with one clear goal; to create a rugged, dependable folder for camp and utility chores. A knife that could be depended upon for tough outdoor tasks and emergency survival applications, while still being small and handy enough to fit in a pocket or be stowed in a pack. Its long and wide with a sharp clip-point for maximum practicality and versatility in the field. The Ram Safe lock works in tandem with the mono block handle of the Pocket Bushman. A solid steel bar moves forward and back under spring tension, while the strong compression drives the ram forward at all times. This forward action keeps the blade securely closed when folded, and solidly locked opened when in use. When opened, the angled ram wedges between the blade tang shelf and the steel frame making it incredibly strong and self-adjusting under pressure, creating a new solid lock up that defies wear and tear.
In Africa, the Sjambok (Sham-Bawk) is a cattle prod, whip, riding crop and an effective means of self-protection, whether from venomous snakes or from varmints of the two-legged variety! Unlike most western style whips which require a rolling crack to function, the semi-rigid Sjambok is swung like a rod or stick. The weight, speed and flexibility of the Sjamboks lash does all the work and little skill or training is required to wield it effectively. Our synthetic polymer version of the classic Sjambok features a thick injection molded lash and is equipped with a soft comfortable Kray-Ex handle that’s designed to resemble braided leather. Since the Sjambok is made entirely from super-tough polymers, it’s incredibly durable and able to withstand weather conditions which would cause a traditional leather whip to break, crack or mildew.

The Thai Machete represents the culmination of over 4 years of development and refinement. Like the Thai swords that inspired it, our Machete is beautifully balanced, with a keen cutting edge and a sharp tip. Though most commonly seen used in pairs when practicing traditional Thai fighting arts, these long curved blades are amazingly versatile. Light enough to swing one handed, but with a long enough handle to employ a two handed grip for extra leverage and cutting power. The Thai Machetes wide blade and curved cutting edge make it an excellent brush cutter. Slicing grass, vines and light foliage with ease. Its fully sharpened blade is made from the same tough 1055 Carbon Steel as the other blades in our incredibly popular Machete line up.

Includes a Cor-Ex sheath for carry and storage.
