Description
Specifications

Crash axes were originally developed for emergency use for escaping from downed aircraft. Their use has certainly been extended to SWAT, Fire and Emergency services, as well as being a 'Door Opener' for military units operating searches and seizures in urban areas.

The TOPS IDT has an extra heavy tactical head. By itself it weighs one pound, made of 3/8" thick 1095 tempered carbon tool steel. The head is attached to a special handle configuration to improve the momentum (power) of the chop or down stroke.

The tubular handle is made of chrome moly alloy (4130), considered stronger and lighter than steel. Chrome moly is like steel on steroids. It exhibits strength, toughness, and ductility.

To ensure a secure grip on the handle, TOPS has provided a large 8" grip area made of "Eezer foam." Manufactured through a patented proprietary process and unmatched in quality and durability. The smooth surface finish is non-slip under adverse conditions and is a high density shock absorber and insulator, with good abrasion resistance.

This is a tool applicable for many varied uses, including but not limited to.......serving high risk warrants, Fire and Rescue, SWAT, urban structure clearing, chopping through doors, walls, ceilings, and floor boards, and of course, dismantelling barricades.

Tops at their best

Posted by John on 3rd Aug 2020

By far the best tactical hawk in my collection and I have all the usual culprits, have owned it for about 8 years now. It is as stated very much a military breaching tool with the tanto side for dealing with the obvious. It's very solid and therefore quite heavy although it is perfectly balanced, it's not for flashing about but anything you hit with it will stay hit. The grind is perfect for it's intended job and the cutting edge is quite steep so it's never going to be shaving sharp, but it's not going to chip or roll if you smack a padlock of it's hasp. The supplied sheath is pretty much perfect, I fitted a shoulder strap to mine, it has attachment loops to enable this. You can draw it quite quickly but you do have to unlock a couple of snaps first The only disadvantage is that you can't split logs with it due to how the tubular handle fits over the blade. The rubber sleeve on the handle is very grippy and comfortable, no blisters from hot spots here. Bottom line is if you only want to own one tactical hawk I would highly recommend that you make it this on Heinnie are the best company you will ever come across so if you have not ordered before you can do so with total confidence, they will look after you.
