Designed as a complete breaching tool and featuring an axe head, prybar and hammerhead, the Down Range Tomahawk is build in Portland, OR of 420HC steel (Cerakoted) and desert tan G-10. It comes with a MOLLE/PALS-compatible sheath and Kydex blade cover for ease of carry and rapid deployment.
Via the website:
Triple-Purpose Ax Head 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.
Serious Pry Bar 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.
Packs Like a Pro 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.

MY WISHLIST...
*Tomahawk = CHECK!
This looks like another one of those things I just have to have. I've got to come up with some good excuses for my wife about why I need this device.

Dude, you can use it to cut wood for the BBQ. All Texans know you can use scrub Mesquite for a flavor additive.
Just tell her "it's for a better burger baby:
It is TOO lightweight. One blow from a good man armed with a common hammer would probably break it. Also the open head design is vulnerable to countermeasures when in CQB. It could easily be snagged with a hook or claw hammer.

why do all the survivalist tools have a stupid price tag? Really,this is a glorified roofing hammer.Get a good roofing hammer and a good crowbar,a lot cheaper and probably 10 times better quality.

I get the idea that the high price tag of this item reflects the fact that it is designed for law enforcement/military applications... to keep it out of the hands of the average citizen...

Seriously though I have little use for a tomahawk in my kit
Just my preference
