Availability: In Stock
The Cold Steel Rifleman's Tomahawk is a purpose-built camp and field tool designed for hunters, bushcrafters, and backcountry users who need reliable cutting and chopping performance. Built around a 3.5" blade of 1055 carbon steel—a proven alloy known for edge retention and workability—this tomahawk strikes the balance between a full-size axe and a packable hand tool. The 19" hickory handle provides classic durability and a comfortable swing without excess weight, making it practical for everything from splitting kindling to limbing branches in the field.
Cold Steel's Rifleman's Tomahawk carries real backcountry heritage. Hickory has been the wood of choice for American tool handles for generations because it's tough, shock-absorbent, and ages well in the field. The 1055 carbon steel blade responds to proper care—it'll hold an edge through serious work, and users who understand carbon steel will appreciate its simplicity. This isn't a stainless afterthought; it's a tool that rewards maintenance and delivers performance.
Whether you're outfitting a hunting camp, building a proper backcountry kit, or looking for a tomahawk that does real work without unnecessary bulk, the Rifleman's delivers. It's scaled for extended trips where weight matters but capability can't be compromised. The blade geometry and handle length make it equally at home in a truck bed, a pack, or hanging on a cabin wall as working gear.

Yes. The 3.5" blade and 19" handle make it practical for splitting kindling, processing game, and general camp chores without being so large that it's cumbersome to pack or carry.
1055 carbon steel holds a sharper edge and is easier to sharpen in the field, but it requires more care to prevent rust. If you're maintaining your tools properly, carbon steel delivers better performance for real work. Stainless is more hands-off but typically won't edge as well.
Hickory is one of the most durable handle woods available and has been the standard for American axes and tomahawks for good reason. Proper storage—keeping it dry and out of extreme sun—will ensure it lasts for years of use.
Keep the carbon steel blade dry or wipe it dry after use to prevent rust. Sharpen it with a file or stone as needed. Store in a dry place. If hickory gets rough or splinters, you can sand it smooth.
