Cudeman Eagle 175-M: The modern and sport version of the Tomahawk
The Cudeman Eagle in its black micarta version with red liners is the tactical evolution of our hatchet, inspired by traditional Native American designs. This variant not only maintains the mystique of the Indian eagle engraving on its blade but also enhances its more technical and resistant side. Unlike the wooden version, the 175-M is designed for the user seeking an all-terrain tool that knows no climatic limits or intensity of use.
Thanks to its full-tang construction and weight balance, this hatchet is a quick-response tool, ideal for modern bushcraft. Its lightweight and aggressive design make it a natural extension of the arm, allowing for an agility of movement that only a Tomahawk-based design can offer. Manufactured entirely in Albacete, it is a piece where functional aesthetics and extreme durability go hand in hand.
Why this Cudeman is right for you
- Suitable for sport throwing: Thanks to the structural resistance of the black micarta, this variant is perfectly viable for use as a throwing axe, a practice not recommended for wooden models to avoid accidental breakage.
- Advanced traction control: The double jimping included on the spine of the handle allows for a firm thumb rest, facilitating a forward grip for tasks requiring the precision of a fine cutting knife.
- Lightened structure: The hollow aluminum ferrules secure the handle completely while reducing unnecessary weight, improving the balance of the piece during striking.
- Unalterable to the environment: The combination of premium steel and synthetic materials ensures that the tool performs impeccably in humid, cold, or extreme heat conditions without deforming.
Steel and edge performance
The blade is forged from Böhler N-695 steel, reaching a hardness of 59/60 HRc on the Rockwell scale. This high-end steel is renowned for its ability to maintain a sharp edge even after severe and repetitive impacts against resinous woods. Its satin finish not only gives it a professional appearance but also improves its resistance to friction and oxidation, ensuring that the Cudeman Eagle is a lifelong investment for your adventure gear.
Construction and resistance
With a thickness of 3.8 mm, this hatchet has been designed to be lightweight yet indestructible. Being a full-tang tool, the steel runs through the entire silhouette of the piece, eliminating common failures in axes with inserted handles. The anchoring system using hollow aluminum rivets offers total mechanical stability, allowing the 175-M to absorb impact energy efficiently, whether felling wood or hitting a sport target.
Handle and control in real conditions
The satin black micarta handle with red liners is the definitive choice for intensive use. This composite material is virtually immune to moisture, oils, or temperature variations, offering a grip that becomes even more adherent if the hand is wet. The ergonomic handle, topped with a lanyard hole, ensures that the 390 grams of the piece remain always under your absolute control.
Sheath and portability
The sheath for the Eagle 175-M has been entirely designed and manufactured in our own workshops. This version uses premium black leather with attractive red stitching that matches the handle liners. This sheath not only protects the 14 cm blade width but also offers a secure and elegant carrying system for the belt, keeping the tool always at hand and protected from the elements.
Use scenarios
- Sport throwing: Its balance and the toughness of the micarta make it ideal for enjoying axe throwing without fear of damaging the handle.
- Survival and Bushcraft: A lightweight tool perfect for processing firewood, setting traps, or light clearing on long-distance routes.
- Tactical use: Its low profile, black finish, and agility of movement make it an excellent option for emergency and rescue teams.
Care and maintenance
- Clean the blade with a cloth after each use to remove organic residues; Böhler steel is very resistant, but basic maintenance preserves its original shine.
- Completely dry the piece before storing it in its black leather sheath to prevent moisture accumulation due to condensation.
- Micarta is a material that requires little care, but a quick cleaning with water and neutral soap will keep it looking impeccable for years.
- Maintain the axe's edge using appropriate sharpening stones, always respecting the original grinding angle to avoid losing effectiveness when striking.
- Store the assembly in a dry and ventilated place to protect both the steel and the stitching of the leather sheath.
The Cudeman Eagle (175-M) is the ultimate expression of sport versatility and tactical resistance. An authentic infallible Tomahawk, proudly manufactured in Albacete to overcome the most demanding challenges.
