Thought this was interesting, if you're going to carry a tomahawk you should probably know how to fight with it.

Anyone have experience with Wenger hawks? Love my RMJ for general purpose but would like something more woods oriented. His Beohawk looks great but I haven’t seen much talk about them.

   I recommend this tomahawk without reservation. Even more than the Toor or Spyderco, this feels like a serious use fighting hawk. Reaching out to the custom tomahawk maker at the end of the month…He was supposed to have my already-paid-for custom finished by the end of May. Yeah, he nearly blew his hand off mid May, but he’s been working on his own stuff and other people’s customs… End of July I’ll have enough VISA gift cards to get the Bastinelli Addiction Special Edition in addition to a Bastinelli SIN. And I’m thinking of setting a zero-whiskey goal for the month of July, with a Polite But Dangerous Bontoc as the prize at the end. |

If anyone else has been mesmerized by JaredGrey’s multiple pics of his Spyderco Warrior Hawk, this is about the cheapest your going to find it outside of a Black Friday special that’s usually around the same price.
Normal price is north of $400. https://www.chicagoknifeworks.com/spyderco-warrior-hawk/  |

 It’s not just CCW tomahawk time, it’s CCW PDW time. World ain’t getting any nicer, smarter, or saner. Most of the stuff is my dad’s CCW. His tomahawk is a SOG, and sometimes he swaps out the Spyderco for a Halo 4. Not bad for a retired teacher who hates carrying extra weight on his belt or in his pockets. lol |

 I love the primitive look of Polite But Dangerous Tools Bontoc tomahawk. The Curtis brothers both make great designs but have a hard time with finish work. The obvious last 5% that would make this awesome is obviously overlooked. When I start making knives, I’m not overlooking the details.  I won enough gift cards to get the deluxe Bastinelli Addiction…before the custom tomahawk I ordered came in. That’s…impressive. The hawk is also impressive. A slab of M390 with tsukamaki and skull medallion by Bastien Coves himself. This thing has replaced the Andronika Breacher in my go bag. The sheaths for both hawks are dogshit and I shall be enlisting the help of a friend to put together somethings better. |

I got an old hatchet at a barn sale. What should I do with the hammer end?
I removed the cracked handle and ground the spall off. The hammer end looks bent in the picture, but it isn’t. The top is flat and the bottom is tapered.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

I don't recall if I've ever done that without 'cheating'. That probably wasn't easy! I keep 3" lengths of jute twine, cotton balls, and a small jar of Vaseline with my striker. Pull every strand of the twine apart, put it in a ball around the cotton ball w/ a dab of Vaseline, and as soon as a spark hits it, it whoooshes to life and stays lit for a long time. Pretty cool really because it startles everyone who sees it for the first time. |

In December, the custom tomahawk maker said March availability. In April, he said May. In June, he said July. In July, he said 3 more weeks. In September, he said nothing.
I realize he has a farm and a family., but when you’re a well-respected knife maker and you’re posting pictures of stuff that you’ve made and sold while sitting on a commissioned order…That’s not a good look. I’m glad I haven’t paid this joker anything yet. I’m sure I’ll get the hawk at some point, The only question is, will it be before or after I have my personally designed model started and finished. |

Last week, I got to hold the two tomahawks I designed. It was incredible. One is a full tang traditional American style with my preferred improvements. The other is a more radical design I’ve been working on for 5 years. I actually shopped the job out to Ancient Smithy (maker of the knockoff Winklers) last year, asked if I could get a custom order of 20-30. He declined and I guess forwarded my contact information to the Ukrainian government?
Hopefully the metalwork will be done by the end of the month. Then I get to pin and glue scales. I should post some cropped pictures. |
