CRKT Woods Kangee T-Hawk Tomahawk – Gray 19.13" Handle, 1055 Carbon Steel Head for Splitting & Camp Work

The CRKT Woods Kangee T-Hawk is a heavy-duty two-handed camp tomahawk with a hot-forged 1055 carbon steel head, Tennessee hickory handle, and a spiked poll for splitting and penetration tasks.

Built for serious backcountry work, the Woods Kangee combines old-school tomahawk geometry with modern forging and grind techniques so you can chop, split, and puncture with confidence. Designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, this T-hawk pairs a substantial 4.21" blade and 0.4" thick hammer-finished head with a 19.13" open length and a dense hickory handle to deliver repeatable, controlled strikes when you need to process firewood, clear brush, or perform camp chores.

How does the Woods Kangee perform when splitting firewood?

This tomahawk’s flat-ground primary and secondary bevels and heavy 1055 carbon-steel head give it slicing and wedge power suited for splitting small to medium logs. The spike on the opposite poll helps break knots and stubborn grain without relying solely on the blade edge.

• 4.21" blade with flat grind for efficient wood cutting
• 0.4" blade thickness providing wedge force for split tasks
• Poll spike designed for knot-busting and focused penetration

Is the Woods Kangee durable enough for frequent outdoor use?

The head is hot-forged from 1055 carbon steel and finished with a hammer texture that hides wear, while the Tennessee hickory handle is lacquer-sealed for moisture resistance. Together those materials stand up to repeated field use and provide serviceable edge retention and handle resilience.

• 1055 carbon steel for strength and straightforward maintenance
• Hammer finish to camouflage surface marks and prevent glare
• Lacquer-coated Tennessee hickory handle to resist weathering

What makes this design different from tactical tomahawks?

Although evolved from CRKT’s tactical tomahawk lineage, the Woods Kangee emphasizes outdoor utility over purely combative features. The longer handle, heavier head, and wood-specific grind prioritize efficient wood processing and camp tasks rather than urban breaching or compact deployment.

• Longer 19.13" open length for two-handed leverage and control
• Flat-ground cutting geometry tuned for timber work
• Spike poll for versatile utility beyond chopping

How should I care for the Woods Kangee to keep it working well?

Wipe and oil the carbon steel after wet use to limit surface rust and periodically inspect the handle for cracks or loosened fit. Use the spike and hammer finishes as intended; avoid striking hardened steel or masonry to preserve the edge and temper of the head.

• Dry and lightly oil the blade after exposure to moisture
• Store in a dry place; leather sheath sold separately
• Sharpen flat-ground bevels with files or stones designed for carbon steel

Who is this for? The CRKT Woods Kangee T-Hawk suits campers, woodsmen, and outdoor professionals who need a robust, two-handed tomahawk for processing firewood, clearing campsites, and general backcountry utility. If you want a purpose-built outdoor axe with the balance of traditional hickory feel and modern forged steel construction, this model offers a durable, confident tool that’s ready for regular outdoor use. Note: leather sheath is an aftermarket accessory and not included; replacement handles and sheaths are available separately.
