This is a really good tool that seems very durable and should last me a long time... however, the connection between the handle and the head is just average, and the blade arrived completely blunt. Both of these parts require improvement. At a price of around €70 (May 2026), I would have expected a bit more from CRKT.
A versatile hatchet crafted by Ryan Johnson of RMJ Tactical, ideal for both survival scenarios and routine garden tasks. The blade is forged from 1055 carbon steel and has undergone heat treatment to deliver excellent impact resistance while preserving strong edge retention.
Engineered for versatility, the Chogan Hammer’s blade excels at clearing obstacles, wood chopping, and slicing. The flat reverse side functions effectively for driving tent stakes and handling various camp setup duties.
The handle features robust Tennessee hickory wood, designed for optimal user comfort. Meticulous sanding, double scorching, and polishing give the shaft an attractive finish that highlights the wood’s natural character.

CRKT (Columbia River Knife & Tool) is an American brand of knives and tools, founded in 1994 by Paul Gillespie and Rod Bremer, former employees of Kershaw Knives. It gained worldwide publicity with the K.I.S.S. model, presented at the SHOT Show in 1997 - it sold out immediately and tripled the company's production capacity. CRKT built a reputation as a brand focused on innovation, as proven by its proprietary Deadbolt, Field Strip, and Kinematic systems, as well as the patented Veff-Serrations. The company is also known for cooperation with respected knifemakers such as Kit Carson, Ken Onion, and Liong Mah, thanks to which the range includes knives with distinctive character and functionality. Among the most recognizable models are the M16, Minimalist, and Pilar, which have become icons in the world of EDC and tactical knives. From the beginning of its operations, CRKT has consistently promoted the motto "Confidence in Hand" - emphasizing that its knives are meant to give the user not only a tool, but above all confidence in action in any situation.

It looks better than in the picture. The handle is nicely scorched and the pleasantly heavy blade makes it even more effective in the field. It's almost a shame to use it.
