    Tomahawk

    I just finished ordering a new Tomahawk. I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in Weapons, but, realistically, a Tomahawk will likely be used 98% of the time as a tool, and perhaps 2% as a weapon.
    Therefore, really, it's more of a tool than a weapon.
    I already own one of these: http://www.americantomahawk.com/products/vtac.htm

    I like it, but it is more of a weapon than a tool, excepting being a breaching tool. What I mean is it's not really practical as a "field tool". I want one that works as a field tool, but can be a weapon if needed.

    So, having just sold a firearm, I am using the funds to get one of these: http://www.2hawks.net/tomahawks/warb...rade-tomahawk/

    I'll probably sell the VTAC once I have the other.
    As the sheaths offered are leather, I declined and will make a cordura one. I know, the "bushcrafter" says leather, but the "shtf prepper" says cordura for long term durability.

    Yes, there will be pics, however, since they are handmade, I am not sure yet if it is in stock, or I will have to wait for it to be made.

    That is one sweet hawk. Bookmarked it for future reference.

    I have a cold steel hawk with a hammer poll. I like it pretty well, but it's crap compared to that one.

    Well, I looked around and finally decided that I would probably end up with only one hawk, so I decided not to settle for anything less than what I wanted. I've spent 3 months or more working to finally get it.

    This is my first tapatalk post. A software upgrade finally makes it work.

    Good looking blade. There used to be a company back when I was in the scouts, that sold knife blades, hawks, all kinds of stuff that was pretty good quality in the mountain man genre of knives and tools. I can't for the life of me remember what the company was, but it was mail order, pre-Internet days.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    Oh wow. That thing is gorgeous!

    I want a new one myself, of similar price. Now I have to compare the two because I didn't see this one when I found it! Lol. Thanks Gf!

    I really am torn now. This has just been something I've kept in the back of my head, but that really is a pretty hawk. I'll just drop my initial find here for comparison They both have desirable features.

    I got an email most of a week ago now, 9 week wait. So, the review will be awhile coming. I am certain it will be worth it. Certainly better than the almost year wait for my can.
