Overview
Campers and bushcrafters get a forged carbon steel mattock head on a fire-treated hickory handle from CRKT. One side carries an adze blade for scraping and cutting, and the other a spike for penetration tasks.
Versatility is the case for the Chogan: an adze edge and a spike share one coated head on a dense hickory handle. The blade is short, so heavy chopping or splitting is not its job.
Who it's for
Camp and outdoor users who scrape, cut and pierce with one tool will get the most from the mattock layout. Buyers who mainly split firewood or fell trees need a conventional axe head instead.
Pros and cons
- Adze blade and spike on one head
- 1055 carbon steel holds an edge
- Black coating resists corrosion
- Dense Tennessee hickory handle
- Short blade suits light cutting only
- Sheath inclusion not listed
- Carbon steel edge needs care against rust
Performance notes
Results come from the head geometry and steel: the adze edge works by scraping and slicing, while the spike concentrates force on a point. The carbon steel is chosen for edge retention, and the black coating slows corrosion on the head. The dense hickory handle is listed as withstanding hard use.

Frequently asked questions
Does the CRKT Chogan Mattock need any assembly before use?
The listing describes no assembly steps. It ships as a single item with a hickory handle and a sharpened edge.
Does the CRKT Chogan Mattock come with a sheath?
The listing is unclear. One spec names the style as sheath and the item type as holster, but the included components list only the product itself.
Is the CRKT Chogan Mattock built for splitting firewood?
No. The head pairs a short adze blade for scraping and cutting with a spike for penetration tasks.
How do I protect the Chogan Mattock head from rust?
The black coating improves corrosion resistance on the 1055 carbon steel. The listing gives no care instructions, so dry the head after wet use.
