Used my hawk a few weeks ago on a canoe trip with my boy. Firewood alone it pays its way.
Then one night I failed making a proper trench and a storm moved though and I used it to break up the clay and roots before we floated away. Took about an hour but we stayed mostly dry under my sylny tarp. |

Until then, my Spyderco Warrior Hawk rides in my backpack. Highly recommend Green River bourbon. It’s delicious. Four Roses Small Batch delicious. https://i.ibb.co/7ycxc7m/IMG-4854.jpg View Quote |

Kinda relevant to the thread.. I found this tomahawk head in my backyard a few years ago. Central Idaho. I cleaned it up, sharpened it and put a new handle on it. It’s cool. Don’t know how old it is.

I should be getting an Instagram message sometime in the next two weeks to inform me that my custom hawk is ready for payment.
It a cool feeling knowing that there’s a ridiculously in-demand knife maker out west who has an item on his workbench specifically with my name on it. |

Small fireman’s axe. It has been at my childhood house since I can remember, I have no idea where my Dad got it. |

I’ve not used the butt end as a pry bar, but the face and the spike stick into woods nicely. It’s a wonderful mid price option for a full size full tang fighting tomahawk if you don’t want to venture into Winkler or HFB territory. |

I've seen some great prices on them in various places and Spyderco mil discount is something like 50%. I'm debating that or a RMJ that are almost double that price. Cool looking scales. |

New tomahawk arriving tomorrow.
Wife is, uh, doing some cleaning on the second floor. I may soon have a place to display my collection soon. Thinking about adding a kukri and a Bastinelli sickle at some point. According to my instructor, the sickle is fairly instrumental in the development of Asian martial arts. |

It may look a bit large for CC, but I just tuck it under my schlong and nobody's the wiser.

Starboard side is beveled. Port side is flat, and the spike curves in this direction for IWB carry. One thing is for certain…one bonk in head with this, and it’s good night sweet prince. You hook an arm with the spike end and you’re filleting it. This is a weapon. View Quote Is this the one that took months to get? Very unusual looking. Futuristic but old too. |

Thanks! @dedreckon Got it on sportsman's guide about 5 years ago. They don't have them anymore. I did see a similar, German made axe on midway recently. It's a lot nicer but same shape and handle the commie one came with.
