Gerber Downrange Tomahawk Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

When you're in a situation where time is of the essence, you can't waste time wondering if you have the right tool for the job. No matter what's on the other side of that door or barrier, you want a tool with the same single-minded determination as the man wielding it. The Gerber Tactical Downrange Tomahawk is a marvel of simplicity and efficiency in service of solving serious problems. No moving parts to break or jam, no extraneous gimmicks to get in the way—just a well thought-out design and three-quarters of a century of Gerber craftsmanship in your hands.There's no arguing with a tomahawk. This is largely due to the Downrange's three-tiered approach to tactical breaching. The axe head's beveled edge is capable of chopping through drywall and turning walls and doors to splinters. The backside of the ax head functions as hammer for getting through hinges, locks, doorknobs and anything else that's there to slow you down. The third threat is a pry bar at the end of the handle, controlled by a cutaway grip in the ax head.Opposite the business end of the Downrange Tomahawk is a hefty pry bar. With a solid marriage of physics and force, you can confidently pry away using the cutaway handle in the ax head for leverage. The 420HC steel body with Cerakote will not bend or break, and the desert tan G-10 handle has integrated scales to keep the tool firmly in your hands no matter the conditions.Tomahawks don't exactly fit in your pocket, so it comes with a sheath that's as practical as the tool itself. No matter what line of duty you serve in, if this tool is going to make it to where the action is, it has to be easy to carry. Which is where the MOLLE-compatible sheath comes into play. It readily attaches to your pack, standard webbing or body armor, so it goes where you do.
