I've held off due to fears about the steel involved, so I look forward to your review.
EDIT: Following SeriousStudent's link, I don't know what surprises me more, that there is an Army NCO sword--you'd think I would have heard about it in 20+years--or that there are Air Force swords.
(I note that the Navy and Coast Guard CPO swords are cutlasses.)

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

Well you crazy Canuks have a pretty solid history with the tomahawk too !
I actually use mine mainly as a light axe during warm weather months when I don't want & need to carry a larger/heavier axe. The tomahawk helps feed my light portable wood stove & the head can be used for some knife tasks. Though I usually carry a moderate length sheath knife. With small folding saw, I'm pretty well set for what I like do. I don't buy 'tactical hawks'. Just all-rounders that work as tools. They are based on designs from the 1600s-1800s that were used as weapons when needed, so I guess they're 'tactical' in that sense.
Well, anything axe-like is useful in about three quarters of the terrain here which is very foresty, the remainder being a combination of canola fields and actual arctic tundra, where the only useful tool is a bush plane so you can gtfo.
My main user is actually a small axe:

Tuned up a bit and sharpened to razor or chisel standards, it does everything. I actually took down a bunch of foot-thick hardwoods with it last weekend because it was the sharpest axe on hand, even though it was smaller than what you'd usually want for the job. But it bites and throws chips beautifully and it's not overly tiring to swing when you're working on steep ground at weird angles.

Yep, I have that Wetterlings Lg Hunters axe, and also the GB version. I prefer the Wetterlings. They're both nice axes.
That's most likely what I'll carry during fall & winter when more wood may be needed.
I like to back pack in to remote country. I bowhunt and fish. I try (not always successfully) to lighten up the carry load as
much as possible.
