Question 1

Would this or a hatchet be a better chopper

Accepted Answer

If you are using it only for chopping, then I would suggest a hatchet.Tomahawk is a multitool. It can chop, hammer, be used as a knife,  a scraper, like a ulu.Hatchet does chopping much better at comparable price points.depends if you want utility, or a dedicated chopper.

Question 2

Made in Taiwan?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 3

Is this made in china?

Accepted Answer

The  CRKT website makes it known that :  A) the handles are made here in the US from Tennessee hickory, B) It was designed by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical in Tennessee, C) The grinds and edges are hand ground , D) They have a QC program that checks all products during a production run and lastly E)  " Published weights of knives manufactured by automated processes, such as stamping, laser cutting, CNC machining and injection molding, will show very little variation in finished products. When products use hand-shaped natural materials such as leather, hardwood, bone and horn, some slight variation in weights should be expected ".  So what does all that mean? Since they don't say anywhere on their website that they make the  knife blades/ t-hawk heads in the US and also state all of the above , I take it that they are made over seas. If they were 100% US made, it would be posted in big letters all over the place since its such an important thing to most of the people who would be buying their products. They make sure to say the handles are made from Tennessee hickory,  and the blades are designed in the US by a company in Tennessee then sharpened by hand to cleverly lead you to believe they are totally  hand MADE in the US . I think they are actually made by a press in China or wherever else in Asia. That said, I still love mine  and did a review of it on my YouTube channel if your interested : Chesapeake Hammock and Outdoors @ YouTube. Hope that helps!

Question 4

Why isn't this made in the US?

Accepted Answer

Don’t know; it may be that American cutlery makers don’t find small production runs of any specific design practical. It does hold and edge and it seems to show decent differential hardening
