Gerber Downrange Tomahawk

Hmmm. Gerber has a new product out…Gerber Downrange Tomahawk. I suppose it’s only a matter of time before product-placement puts it on ‘The Walking Dead’.

Kinda interesting. Specs say weighs less than 2# which makes it many times lighter than my FuBarForcible Entry Tool. Unlike a lot of Gerber’s offerings these days, this product is being made in the US. I’m curious as to how durable this thing is for prying…to small and lightweight and it’ll bend like pretzel, too rigid and sturdy and it’ll be too heavy to carry. And, of course, theres always the tacitly implied usage about being suitable for…’other’…uses.

Looks interesting and I’d like to play with one, but not sure I have a need for it at the moment. I do expect it to turn up on the Walking Dead at some point though.
