RMJ Tactical – Jenny Wren Hammer Poll, ZP-CUT, and Coho Knife Review
Every aspect of design is considered when it comes to material selection, feature function, heat treatment, grips & handles, as well as grind types. This is an extremely concise version of RMJ Tactical’s overall design philosophy.
With a never-fail approach toward constructing tools, RMJ quickly has gained a reputation for making outstanding quality pieces. Lately, they have been venturing into tactical valet trays, and we cannot forget to mention their Thumpers (think heavy mini-bat with an optional weighted core).
Based in Chattanooga, TN since 2005, RMJ has partnered itself with other local outfits in addition to doing excellent solo work. They make production pieces as well as custom and small runs. Less than 20 employees and a strong track record for quality, RMJ is exactly who you want to make your hard use hand tools. These people know what they are doing and know how to do it well.
As a family business, RMJ Tactical is focused on the tactical tomahawk. That has been their primary product for a while. Having said that, they do make other very high-quality gear such as knives, hammers, ferro rods, sharpeners, sheaths, and other items.
After you purchase an RMJ Tactical product, they aren’t done with you. RMJ has info on how to care for and protect everything on your item. They go into depth on features, differences, how to’s, heat treating, and a tactical design approach in general.
It is very evident that they are intimately acquainted with their craft. Read below on our recent experience with a few RMJ production examples and what we thought.

Dirty Olive RMJ Tactical Jenny Wren Hammer Poll Tomahawk Review
The Jenny Wren Hammer Poll from RMJ Tactical is a tomahawk that combines the dream of several knife lovers. It has an aggressive look and a tactical tomahawk. Although the ‘hawks have always been tactical for several years now (probably a hundred) if you think about their original form. Such knives were used in battlefields as a weapon and a tool.
This ‘hawk is durable and tough even when you use it in harsh environments. In fact, it is built for such conditions, whether you plan to use it in the wilderness of South America or the rugged Afghanistan mountains.
The knife is easy to use and carry simply because it has the right balance in its hardness and firmness. This trait is due to differential heat treatment, which was the technique used in treating this particular steel object. The Jenny Wren Hammer Poll is used in many ways, including chopping, cutting, and digging.
When you buy this knife, you will also get the Kydex scabbard with a bottom-eject feature. This scabbard securely holds the tomahawk so you can carry it with you anywhere you want without worrying about it slipping. At the same time, this addition lets you draw it out with ease.
This knife is almost 12 inches in length with a head length of 6.25 inches, producing a lightweight knife weighing only 18 ounces. Expect it to be extremely fast and its great design will make you feel that it is an extension of your arm.
If you have heard about the Jenny Wren, like everyone has, this knife is her sister. It has great specs like the earlier product but there is this interesting difference. Instead of a spike, you will find that this has a hammer. With hours upon hours dedicated for the design of this knife, it is no wonder that Jenny Wren Hammer Poll finds the balance between a handy tool and efficient style.
