[SHOT Show 2017] Doublestar Wrath CrashHawk

Winchester, KY based DoubleStar Corp. recently announced a combination tomahawk/rescue tool they call the Wrath CrashHawk. DoubleStar offers blades, firearms, parts and accessories as well as training. We've embedded a video below so you can see what they’re all about.

Here’s what they tell us about the Wrath CrashHawk.

SHOT Show 2017: Doublestar Wrath CrashHawk

Modern Warfare's Unique Combo of Crash Axe and Tomahawk

Designed by martial arts practitioner and weapon designer, Robert H. Cabrera of Filo Bladeworks, the Wrath CrashHawk brings out the best of both tools.

DoubleStar Corp, manufacturers of high-quality, US-made AR components, rifles and pistols, is proud to announce the first edged weapon that brings the best elements of a crash axe and tomahawk together in the truly modern “CrashHawk”. The Wrath was purpose-built, combining the close proximity weapon, chopping capability of a crash axe with the multi-use functionality of a tomahawk from prying to piercing, splitting and breaching.

The face and beard of the Wrath have the power and stroke to cut the A-pillar out of a full-size car and still maintain surgical precision in the proper hands. Utilizing a scalloped spike, the Wrath increases penetration with the same slicing effects of serration and will go right though most sheet metals with ease. Cabrera custom designed the handle and texture to give the right amount of retention without being too abrasive on the hands. Last but not least, DoubleStar's selection of .285 S7 tool steel is way beyond bullet-proof. The Wrath weighs in at 2 lbs. 1 oz. and measures a compact 16.5″ with an MSRP of $564.99.

Here’s more about DoubleStar in their own words.

DoubleStar Corp. was formed when customers of J&T Distributing, a leading supplier of thousands of AR parts and accessories, requested complete rifles and pistols crafted from the same high-quality, U.S.-made components. DoubleStar now supplies not only the commercial market but military and law enforcement forces across the world with rugged and dependable firearms.

You can find them online, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. If you happen to be at SHOT Show 2017, you can find them at Booth 20063.

What is the NSSF SHOT Show?

The NSSF SHOT Show (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show) and Conference is an annual event held by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Typically attended by thousands of people from all 50 states and over a hundred countries, it is (quite rightfully) described as the “…world's premier exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, and related products and services.

Imagine the Worlds' Fair, but packed with everything from mini-guns and every breed of body armor, bows and boots; from eye pro and ear pro to optics and ordnance, socks to swords…you get the idea. If you'd like to see a sampling of the companies who will be showing at this year's SHOT, there's a live map right here, though it doesn't reflect the organizations set up elsewhere, in hotel suites, etc
