I really want a SOG Fast Hawk, but I'm kinda worried about the the bladeportion being bolted to the handle. From reviews I've read, it should withstand throwing, hacking, breaching etc. Does anybody have any comments on this axe's durability?
 
No personal experience, but I have not seen any negative comments about the SOG hawks.

All the reviews I've read have been very positive about the whole hawk lineup, and the I've seen the Fast Hawk recommended quite often.

I've had one since Christmas. I've thrown it, beat it, chopped with it, threw it some more, and it is in great shape. For the price, it's an affordable, semi-disposable, intro hawk. I also own full tang and traditional hawks, sopme heavier, none are lighter. I would not use this for camping, unless I did some serious re-profiling of the cutting edge, and then I'd have to see if it could chop well, as stock it doesn't.
It's a utility tool that I would not depend on, if it were my life. Throw it around, leave it in a truck, or practice hawk fighting on a log, just don't take it to war. Some of the early ones were breaking, there were air bubbles in the handles. SOG has fixed this issue, as far as I've heard.
 
All of the SOG Hawks are well regarded in the Axe, Tomahawk, & Hatchet Sub Forum. SOG did have some problems with the 1st generation years ago, but the current line up is really good from what I hear.

I say go for it!!
 
I have done terrible things to my SOG Tac hawk. I love it. I have used that thing like crazy and was only once worried it would break. That was when I first got it because it got stuck and I had to torque it out of the wood. I was worried about the head being bolted on and all that jazz. It didn't even slow down. I cut the spike off and reprofiled it to a hammer and love it even more.
 
I have both the Fast Hawk and the Tactical Hawk and I really like them both. In fact I'm tempted to get the new Satin versions of both as well. They're really so affordable.
Needless to say I'm also looking forward to the extremely badass looking Voodoo Hawk ,which is supposed to come out in October.
