Does anyone know anything about this company or their gear? Some first hand accounts would be helpful


Here's what they have to say about their gear

The LFT tactical tomahawk is ready for the extreme end of Hardcore use as an impact/MOE/CQB tool. At two-thirds the size of our BFT01 & BFT02 hawks, the LFT is designed for those operators who require a more compact tool capable of devastating performance. The primary cutting head is razor sharp and the spike at the business end of things has a modified tanto point specifically designed for maximum penetration. Its pommel is well suited for hammering and incorporates a large lanyard hole for the attachment of a carabineer or rope lanyard. The LFT's ergonomic G-10 handle has been designed for multiple handhold positions to suit all operators, during single or double-handed use. Some of the tasks we expect you'll use our LFT for include the following: chopping, hammering, digging, cutting, as a climbing aid, defeating locks, smashing windows & windscreens and raking out their frames, puncturing steel radial tyres, smashing steel clad doors, and breaking through walls including those made of brick. The LFT is constructed from D2 Tool Steel, has a robust black Teflon coating and G-10 contoured handle. Our G-10 grip scales are available in coyote & black and are secured with Torx screw, all steel fittings.

I have looked for info on them in the past without much success; they don't seem to have much online (forum) presence. I have handled some of their knives and tomahawks at knife shows here (yep, managed to cut myself with one). People on forums have previously questioned D2 as a steel choice for their hawks and big knives (high chromium content leading to chipping). The Hardcore Hardware website indicates they use a specialised heat treatment/tempering process to increase resilience to shock.
I would really love to see a good review on one of these - I'd love to see how they hold up with the punishment they say they're made for; if they're up to it more power to them :) It seems like they have a solid warranty too.
i do like the sense of humour on their website - makes me proud ;)
 
Certainly not easy finding too many first hand accounts of user reviews of them. Those sheaths look like a tremendous pain in the butt though.
