I just bought an old tomahawk its a stanley made in U.S with hammer head on top and a nail removing cutout in blade ,iam sure i paid too much for it but it just feels great in your hand and has just the right heft ,had to buy it ! anyone else got a good hawk they use for hunting etc ?

I wonder if that's shingling ax???

If you are looking for a more combat related modern Tomahawk I'd look at this one. I have an Emerson knife and it's the best folder I've ever owned.

Calgary chef yes i think you are right ! well it wasnt so expensive, compared to some of these new models ughhh !!!!

Hey, I always say if you like something buy it. I've been looking for a decent hatchet to chop kindling in the basement but all I see is crap.

the chef

But this is a good looking tool:

To split firewood in the basement I use a splitting hatchet ["fireside friend" ] by Estwing .It's about 25 ozs IIRC ,with a broader angle .Works much better than the narrow angle hewing hatchets.

www.kilmarnockforge.com.au have some reasonably priced hawks for $85 Aust dollars

Collins I have to admit thatit is an interesting tool. Not really a hatcher, not really a knife, not really a hammer, not really good for chopping or for splitting wood for that matter..............


What's it good for??

Sometimes you just have to let art flow over you...

No, really, for very small chopping, kindling and such. and it looks like it'd make an acceptable cleaver. It's a unique cutting tool, do you need other reasons?
