Tomahawks anyone?

[badguybuster]

I love tomahawks. Been forging a few here and there out of ball pein hammers and forge welding a piece of H13 into the blade (not for sale). Anyone else enjoy them?

I love 'hawks as well. Can't afford the nicer customs anymore, but I have few beaters hanging around.

Same here. Plus, weight vs utility questions.
But I do like a good hawk

I have some that came in a Battlebox when I used to do that. No clue how to use it though.

I have an American LaGana tactical, an older one.
I also have a 2Hawks (Polaris trading) Warbeast.

I have a SOG tomahawk. It's pretty cool.

Thing is, not sure about their "field utility".

Been using a short machete for years, camping and hiking. It's truly the do-all camp tool.

Thought of the tomahawk as an American classic, have been out with it a couple of times, and been kind of disappointed with its overall practical utility.

Considered getting one. Check out this company:

Having both a "tactical" and a field style hawk, I don't find a lot of practical field uses for the tactical one. While soldiers would use the point to gain entry to vehicles, or skulls, I haven't found a field use yet. The cutting edge is narrow and flat, coupled with light weight, doesn't make for a good chopper, at least in field use. A lot of "rifleman" style hawks follow more primitive designs, and have curve to the blade. My Warbeast has this. It also has a hammer poll on back. It's a bit larger and heavier than most, but it chops well, like a small axe. On the top and bottom, behind the cutting edge, there are back edges. If you sink it, rocking it back and forth, it will cut its way out. I like it better than the tactical hawk, in use, at least from my limited time with hawks.

I use a Cold Steel, then have working replicas of original French ones from 1720s, when I portray early French milicien (militia). These events have both shooting and knife & hawk throwing contests, which pretty cool. Including the longest distance “1 throw stick”.
