was chatting with a bud the other day, & he was watching some military show, that they listed the top all time greatest military weapons, & the Tomahawk came up as 4th best military weapon of all time...

I argued, well Ok, it was formidable in the early days... but turns out modern soldiers are carrying them in Afganistan, & there are several military grade units being made... of course a search, mixes them up with the fantasy knives, so you have to sort the made in China from the good stuff...

I'm not much of a "knife" guy, but I do have several little axes... one in my field dress kit for splitting hips or sternum, one more of a camp hatchet, for splitting kindling...

lately I've been thinking of an upgrade to the old fashoned camp hatchet, & had begun to look at heavier Kukries ( a cross bettween a knife & a machette ) with an angled blade that drags the edge across the surface being cut... there are times I could use a machette, but I'm not wanting to strap on some big ol thing...

I'm not sure I'd actually train to fight with one, but it might be cool to have a more versitile tool, than the old camp axe ???

so what are your thoughts of these new Tomahawks, or "big chopping knives"... tool... or mall ninja toy ???
