I know that the topic of this thread is Survival Knife and it has moved into a somewhat broader topic. In my Bug Out kit I also have a tomahawk designed like the Viet Nam era combat tomahawk. Multiple cutting edges, not easy to get real sharp, but lightweight and indestructible. It was made by American Tomahawk using the Peter LaGana design. Hence the VTAC LaGana model name.
I apologize if this is too much of a thread drift and if so Mods please move it as appropriate.
Here is the Company's description:
Overall length approx. 14 inches. Drop forged 0-1 steel axe head with a Rockwell of 52-54. Indestructible ST modified nylon handle. This hawk designed by Peter Lagana is the standard by which all other axes are judged. Lagana's head design has been in every major conflict since the Vietnam war. 2 5/8 inch cutting edge. Toothpick end is sharpened on both sides. Includes a heavy leather sheath. Perfect for campers. U.S. made.
I will appreciate your thoughts and comments,
Jim
