THE HOGUE KNIVES EX-T01 TOMAHAWK
Henderson, NV – (ArmsVault.com) – Hogue Inc., producers of a full line of made in the USA knives, upped the ante by adding a very unique tomahawk to their offerings. “We challenged Hogue Knives’ renowned designer Allen Elishewitz to envision a tomahawk unrivaled in a competitive market. The result is a dynamic design that stops everyone in their tracks when it is seen,” claims Hogue co-owner and master toolmaker, Jim Bruhns.
The EX-T01 is a versatile field tool designed to fit a variety of sporting or tactical roles. Built from sturdy flat ground .25” S7 tool steel that has been cryogenically heat treated to 54-56 RC, the blade is coated with a black Cerakote™ finish then hand sharpened and honed to a keen edge. The head of the tomahawk has been skeletonized allowing it to be extremely light-weight and agile. Its extended heel and toe are perfect for penetrating cuts and hooking while the blade’s bellied shape covers slashing and chopping.
The tomahawk‘s handle has a partial tang set into durable, highly textured G10. The end is pointed for use as an impact tool and is flared so the EX-T01 won’t slip out of the hand during use. Amazingly balanced, the tomahawk weighs in at a mere 0.95 lbs.
Such a fine field tool demands an equally impressive mode of carry. “We are very happy with the sheath that Allen came up with,” said Bruhns. The G10 sheath features magnetic catches and a raised section that matches the profile of the tomahawk, securing the EX-T01 in its proper position. Once magnetically placed, a lever lock can be manually engaged for safe carry. Although locked in tight, the system allows for rapid deployment.
The EX-T01 is available in four different G10 colors, black, flat dark Earth, OD green and G-Mascus® blue lava and has an MSRP of $299.95. It is also customizable with accessories that attach on the backside of the head. The attachments are available individually for $69.95 and include a hammer, pry bar or spike. The EX-T01 also includes a blade safety guard and a form-fitted zipper storage case.
