 | Tomahawks
The Colonial Tomahawk - this style has been around for 200
years
or so and we feel it is still the best available. Handforged by
blacksmith Keith Johnson of Minnesota, they carry his lifetime
guarantee. Made of soft steel ideal for the cold winters in the North
Woods, where a harder steel can shatter with the force of a blow, these
hawks can easily be sharpened with any suitable rock. The large head is
good for all-around work; the small head is best for finer work and for
smaller individuals. Unlike contemporary tools, the handle is wider at
the blade end, which means the head tightens rather than loosens on the
handle as the tool is being used. This allows the head to slide off of
the handle for ease of transport in a pack, and for use as a
hand-chopper, scrapper, slicer. Also in the case of a broken handle it
allows a replacement to be quickly fabricated from an available branch
and installed without the use of wedges. Carve your own handle or
purchase one ready-made.
Large Tomahawk Head (5 1/2" by 4 1/4") $30
Medium Tomahawk Head (5 1/4" by 3 3/4") $25
Small Tomahawk Head (4 3/4" by 3") $20

carrots don't pop across the room when sliced), non-stainless
