i dont know if any 1 here is interested there is a company called cold steel that makes actual hunting spears that are ment to be used

prices are cheap but the spears are very durable i got to try the boar spear out and it was awsome i didnt kill any thing with it but i ramed it through a old car hood and aold fridge and it didnt even brack the tip or deform it

The tomahawk is an amazing tool. I never paid much attention to them but now that i have one i couldn't do without. They make field butchering a piece of cake. Haveing trouble finding the right place to cut in a joint? Out comes the hawk. Split a pelvis? Effortless. Chop down one side of the spine cutting through the ribs only takes about 10 seconds.
I've also heard that they are a deadly weapon and that some native american ww2 soldiers used them with chilling effectiveness. But i wouldn't know about that.

I use and carry cold steel knives ,spears and kukris all my life and i believe these tools are the best of the best.Juan

Cold Steel weapons are hit and miss. I have a Samburu spear that's crap, but my Kukri is awesome, very well made. My Recon Tanto is a good knife, my Cold Steel thrower is a piece of s**t that broke after a dozen throws ( and they would not cover the warranty!) The Riflemans tomahawk I have is good steel but poorly finished and balanced. Not sure I'll ever buy Cold Steel again.

Cold Steel made weapons in differents parts of the world some are cheap and you have what you paid but knives are very good and my boar spear is excelent .On respect to tomahacks i believe LA GHANA model is the best for combat and even for killing hogs cold steel dont have it.Juan

I strongly recommend this site www.americantomahawck.com ill test a LA GANA tomahawck hunting boars.Juan

Excuse me the site is www.americantomahawck.com

I know a couple of gents who have hunted pigs with katanas. It is pretty graphic stuff but you can basically cleave them in half if you know what you are doing. No reason a well placed tomahawk wont do the job if place right. You just have to get up close and personal is all.

How do you kill a boar with a tomahawk? What sort of blows and to where?

It sounds much much more practicable to use a long stabbing knife to me.

Right between the eyes! Having not done it I really cant say but I imagine that would be the most expedient.

cold steel is a few miles from my house...decent stuff, good user stuff like you said. i have a few pieces.

Just to test another weapon.Juan

I would think the spike end to the back of the head would work (assuming the LaGana spike end is long enough)

Where can i buy a la gana tomahawk at a good price .Juan
