Product Description
These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from 1055 Carbon steel. Drop forging is, without doubt, the best method of manufacture for any impact weapon, particularly one with a cutting edge. During the forging process a metal ingot is heated almost white hot and then formed into shape in a series of progressive dies. The large steel dies are fixed to enormous compressed air hammers. Each die hammers the hot metal into a gradually more finished shape. The steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogenous mass making the grain structure uniform and minimizing gas pockets or other imperfections that can ruin the construction of a hand forged hawk. This is why most good axes, hatchets, and hammers are drop forged. These hawks are differentially heat treated. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fully hardened, while the balance is left relatively soft to absorb the shock of striking blows.
While it's certainly capable of performing utility chores,
our Spike Hawk really excels when it's used as a weapon. |
Do you prize the look and authentic lines of a
traditional Pipe Hawk, but have little use for the hollow
bowl and the strength-compromised... |
|
Suitable for re-enactors from
any period stretching from the
French and Indian War clear up
to the final settling of the West in
the late 1800's. |
Our Trench Hawk may well be the
perfect antidote to the raw terror of
eyeball to eyeball combat in the confined
spaces of a trench, bunker, alley or
narrow hallway. |
The Trail Boss is light and compact enough to carry all day in your hand or strapped to your pack, yet heavy and tough enough for chores that would make a hatchet or tomahawk scream for mercy. | This superb tomahawk features a factory-honed cutting edge. It has two sticking points on its cutting edge
for throwing and throws extremely well. |
Capturing the Viking spirit, the Norse Hawk's 4" blade features a highly curved cutting edge and terminates
in two sharp points | Modeled after an early frontier pattern, our Trail Hawk can do it all. |
It took Peter LaGana a lifetime of armed combat and months of design and testing to perfect the Vietnam
Tomahawk. |
