The Gerber Downrange Tomahawk remains one of the top-rated tactical tomahawks on Amazon—despite it being around for years. Its sharp edge and even sharper design (see what we did there) makes it a lethal and beautiful weapon to behold.

A nice steel body, MOLLE compatibility, prying bar, and hammer head makes this an incredibly versatile item to have on just about any mission.

"This is a well made hard working tool. It is not a toy or a typical tomahawk. This is a wrecking bar with a mean streak. A great working tool for all sorts of things. Pulling apart, chopping, prying, you name it, it will work." - Esad

Hardcore Hardware absolutely lived up to its reputation when it created the sleek, stylish, and impressively useful LFT01 Tactical Tomahawk. This is one of the top-rated tactical tomahawks to be made out of hyper-durable D2 steel with a Teflon finish.

The LFT01 has a hammer head, works as a pry bar, and also has a nice little hole for lanyard use. Unleash your inner lumberjack with this. You know you want to.

"This thing is awesome, heavy, but awesome. It is one massive hunk of metal. Comes razor sharp. This is a relatively small knife manufacturer, but everything I have from them is top notch quality. If you need a tool that with outlast your lifetime then get Hardcore Hardware." - William C.

Smith & Wesson isn't just a gun company, you know! They also make some of the most affordable top-rated tactical tomahawks on the market. This particular model is designed for hammering, prying, extracting, and yes, even throwing.

It's weighty but balanced, and has impeccable grip. Best of all? It's $55.

"Entry/Exit tool. Think steel doors and cinder block walls, cement, heavy plywood, even pry bar in an emergency." - Oddhourz

If you need serious cutting, chopping, and slashing action, the M48 Tactical Tomahawk has got you covered. This axe blade is designed for tearing and forced entry. This is one of the few top-rated tactical tomahawks to be made of multiple materials.

The M48 has an aniodized stainless steel blade with a 30% fiberglass reinforced nylon handle. It's fun to throw, surprisingly sturdy, and chops plants beautifully.

"This is a very useful Tomahawk, especially for the money. The handle is nearly indestructible even if it is a bit uncomfortable to grip with force. The spike end is fearsome and powerful with the weight of the head driving it in a downstroke." - Craig Matteson

If you have heard of 5.11, chances are that you're a service member who has a taste for high quality gear. They make some of the best tactical knives and packs you can get. Their Operator Axe, too, remains one of the top-rated tactical tomahawks currently being sold on Amazon.

If you can't tell from the design, this is an axe that's perfect for lumberjacks and construction workers. It has a hammer, a pry bar, wrenches, and a built-in ruler. It has a perfect 5 star rating, 100% of customers giving it a perfect score. That's hard to come by.

SOG is one of those rare companies that makes world-class survival gear that's suitable for both military and civilian groups. This cool gear has just about anything you might need for a rather extreme excursion in the wilderness—or really, any major emergency.

A grippy handle, a hammer, a nail puller, and a built-in fire starter will help you tackle any issue, no matter where you are. The sturdy build, though, is what makes it truly SOG-quality.

"SOG has always been my favorite company. I own many of their tools. And this has to be one of my favorites. Their Quality never lets me down. I am very pleased with this tomahawk. Super easy to sharpen and the fire starter works awesome. I wouldn't recommend it for throwing, but it could be done. Love the hammer for smashing. Haven't really used the nail puller. But I know it would work out great. If I had to pick one tool to rely on, this would be in mind. Thank you SOG for a great product" - Dylan W.

Columbia River Knife & Tool is one of those companies that you just know makes top-rated tactical tomahawks. Made with carbon steel, a textured handle, and a nice hammerhead with a little extra weight, it's easy to see how the Chogan T-Hawk became a major seller. There's a reason it's one of the most popular tactical and personal defense equipment on Amazon.

This was designed by tactical superstar Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, so you know it's going to be great. It's a bit slimmer, so if you have smaller hands, it'll be a better choice.

"I just received this tomahawk, and it feels good in the hand, and appears to be high quality. I really like the one piece tang." - Mike

The Shock N’ Awe is proof that you don't need too many tools attached to a hawk in order to make the list of the top-rated tactical tomhawks on Amazon. Weighing in at 2.6 pounds, this 13-inch tomahawk is all about having a razor-sharp blade and an icepick tip.

Self-defense capabilities, MOLLE compatibility, and a lanyard hole make this one really impressive tool for military members. It also comes with a free sheath, which is a nice perk.

"It's got some serious weight and the Kydex sheath with M.O.L.L.E. clips is a great accessory that's included. I take this one with me when I go hiking, walking the dog at the local dog park (heavily wooded with a lake), kayaking and camping. Also makes a good thrower. Very simple design. The nylon wrap around the handle is super tight but I wish it were a bit more comfortable in the palm. Makes for good grip, especially when used in a gloved hand. A paracord wrap might be a bit more forgiving on the hands as well as prove more useful in a camping or survival situation. This was a good addition to my collection and probably the one that sees the most use." - D. Lion James

Leave it to Boker to make one of the only top-rated tactical tomahawks to be both stylish and made of carbon steel with an anti-corrosive powder coat, right? This sharp (literally) tomahawk has a great axe head, a built-in straight edge, and a paracord wrap for easy carry.

This is a petite, lightweight axe that's perfect for people who aren't used to the heavier feel of carbon.

"It is a very nice, small axe that even a girl can handle!" - Rachel Davis
