Gerber has started shipping the Downrange Tomahawk. Designed for breaching, the axe head’s beveled edge is capable of going through walls as well as doors. The backside of the axe head functions as a hammer for getting through hinges, doorknobs and other obstacles. And, the pry bar at the end of the handle, controlled by a cut away grip in the axe head, offers considerable leverage.
“The Downrange Tomahawk is another product of Gerber’s close relationship with the US Armed Forces,” said Andrew Gritzbaugh, Marketing Manager for Gerber. “By collaborating with a variety of experienced professionals we’ve developed a tool that accomplishes multiple forced entry tasks, reduces the number of tools carried and ultimately lightens the load. This product accomplishes our mission of providing the warfighter with better battlefield solutions.”
The Downrange Tomahawk includes a MOLLE-compatible sheath and Kydex blade cover for safe carry and fast, unrestrained deployment.
You can see the Downrange Tomahawk we first mentioned during last summer’s Outdoor Retailer as well as other Gerber products at Warrior Expo in Virginia Beach 11-12 July.
