M48 tomahawk safety issues

United cutlery refused to answer my email to address the problem and that's pretty pathetic considering I simply want them to know of the safety hazard the m48 tomahawks poses i wasnt looking for a replacement or a refund I simply wanted them to understand the proablem I and many others had with the m48 tomahawk in the end I dont belive they care about the safety of there customer they just want to make a buck and don't really care about what happens after their merchandise is sold.

Original review Jun 14, 2025
I had purchased one of the m48 tomahawks because i really liked the design and thought it would be good for camping and my line of work i had it for about 3 months before i had the opportunity to use it i went to use it on a three inch tree to process some fire wood on the second swing the handle sheared off just below the tang the bit was sill in the log when i got home i left it in the garage a couple months ago i figured id try and get a replacement handle and couldn't find one anywhere not even an aftermarket handle so after that i just gave up an threw it out im not seeking any form of compensation nothing i just wanted to let you know what happened and maybe you all could fix the problem for obvious safety reasons and maybe sell a replacement handle i have posted about the issue on blade forum and pissed consumer regarding the safety issue. United offers some really cool and unique items that I've been interested in but have been weary about buying I wish your company the best and hope you can fix the issue with your tomahawk because I'd definitely be willing to buy another one if it gets reworked god bless and take care Sincerely Erik Dalbec

Preferred solution: Nothing I just wanted for them to recognize that they have a safety issue with the m48 tomahawk and maybe rectify the situation for future buyers.

User's recommendation: Handle is defective and a serious safety hazard coldsteel has a much better tomahawk line

M48 tomahawk breaks in half right out the box

for people interested in buying that accident waiting to happen i would strongly recommend they look at the coldsteel line of tactical axes i bought one and i have punished it in the woods while camping and on my job I've used it as well. it has never let me down and in the off chance the handle was to break they sell replacement handles for short money and they come with an excellent blade gaurd not a chintzy nylon cover.

This is the first time I've reached out hoping to get some movement on upgrading the handle

I did want to write this review because I thought maybe it was just a one off fluke unfortunately many people have experienced the same problem as you can surly understand this has made me hesitant on buying anything with the m48 logo I scoured the internet looking for a replacement handle even looking for custom set ups nothing! My question is this if you know you have a serious quality control problem and you know that your axe has become the joke of the blade and axe community why not rectify the situation with a more sturdy better made handle??

I mean I really like the design of your m48 tomahawk. Why not take the opportunity to revamp the m48 tomahawk and give it the solid reputation it deserves.

Loss:
$45
Pros:
  • Have an incredible selection of gear
Cons:
  • Breaking of the tomahawk handle

Preferred solution: I would just like to see a redesigned m48 tomahawk handle that can take the abuse and if possible see a line of axe handles that could be purchased separately like I said I really like the design of the m48 tomahawk and would absolutely buy another one

User's recommendation: Don't buy unless the rectify the major handle problem
