life of new tac. tomahawk < 1 hr!!

That's good to hear :thumbup:. I wanted to get one before due to the excellent price and looks, so now I'll give it another shot. Thanks for the review, J.

I just went out and put my Fusion Hawk through the ringer...
I also filmed it in case it failed I could post the vid of exactly what happened.
I first chopped through a log that was about 8 inches in diameter (it was a piece of a larger log that was already split into quarters as firewood). The wood was dry and hard and it took a few minutes but the hawk did a fine job.

I then took another one of the firewood logs and batoned through it with the hawk, using a smaller limb as a baton. I was really worried about doing this because I was making contact almost directly in the place where Swimmer's snapped in two and it was pretty rough and abusive. Fortunately, and to my gratification, the hawk again performed very well with no ill after-effects.

I also jammed the spike end into the ends of some logs quite a few times and I hammered a few times with the checkered part of the head (though I did not film that part). The hawk held up greatly through all of it. My only complaint was that the spike could have been sharper from the factory, but nothing a file won't fix.

I had to clean it up a little afterwards but the edge of the hawk blade was still razor sharp. I have no complaints at all and am considering getting a few more of these as emergency tools for the vehicles and such as the price is great.

I think Swimmer's was just a lemon in the bunch. I would suggest giving the model another try. Who knows... it could break the very next time I use it but I banged it up pretty good today and it held strong.

Peace-

Sure do, just go to the SOG website and look for the contact info. Just call the number on Monday morning and use the Warranty extension, I think it is either 240 or 229. Tell whoever answers that your clip broke and ask if you can get a new one. They'll take down your address and you should have two or three clips by Friday!!! :D Worked for both my SOG Trident and my SOG Vulcan. Found the number on my phone: 1-888-405-6433

Just called it, the warranty ext. is 229. Hope this helps, J.
