American Tomahawk Model 2 Hammer Poll Tomahawk
Description
The American Tomahawk Company got its start in 1966, when Peter LaGana began making tomahawks for American soldiers and Marines headed to Vietnam. About 4,000 of his original Vietnam Tomahawks went overseas before the company closed in the 1970s. The design came back in 2001, and later versions have been carried by U.S. Army units in Iraq and Afghanistan.
RMJ Tactical bought the company in 2019. Today every American Tomahawk is made in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The Model 2 is their all around camp and utility tomahawk. It has a bearded head with a true hammer on the back, a straight handle for good balance, and a molded Kydex sheath for belt carry.
The Short & Sweet:
- Drop Forged 1060 Carbon Steel: The head is drop forged from 1060 carbon steel and coated to help fight rust. It has a 4.13" cutting edge.
- Hammer Poll: The back of the head is a flat hammer for driving tent stakes and other camp chores.
- Bearded Head: The bearded shape lets you choke up and grip right behind the edge for finer work like carving and notching.
- Your Choice of Handle: Tennessee hickory for a classic feel, or black STN 66 Super Tough Nylon for hard use. American Tomahawk recommends the nylon handle for throwing, since throwing wears out wood handles much faster.
- Kydex Sheath Included: Each one comes with a molded Kydex sheath for belt carry.
- Manufactured by American Tomahawk Company: Made in Chattanooga, Tennessee, by a company that has been building tomahawks for American troops since 1966.

Curious About Sizing?
Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.
Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.
Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.
To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit.
This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:
14"-15" PtP = XXS
16-17" PtP = Extra Small
18"-19" PtP = Small
20-21" PtP = Medium
22-23" PtP = Large
24-25" PtP = Extra Large
26-27" PtP = XXL
28-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.
To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.
To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.
