Tomahawk
« on: February 07, 2014, 12:46:04 PM »
I would like to add a tomahawk to my list of tools, what I'm looking is it has to reasonably priced, good quality, will last a long time and it can take a beating. Also I don't care if it's a tactical tomahawk or whatever it may be.

Here is a picture of the hawk I use in my kit.

I have no illusion that I will use it in a fight. I use it for bush craft and "woods walks" exclusively. Mine is currently on the kitchen counter, standing up behind the dish rack at the cabin. I just used it to crack pork shop bones after cooking a roast.

I got no plans on using my tomahawk in battle unless it calls for it, I'm only going to use it for camping, chopping wood etc.

Crudos  :lmfao: Not to far from the fact though. But as you can see by my attachment, I have a bit more meat on my bones and obviously a bit more hansom.

I've always been very leary of the actual usefulness of a tomahawk.. I find them to be too light with far too narrow of a blade.

Now the Estwing Rigger's Axe.. Now that's a tool!

But there is so much that goes into making use of an axe or a hatchet. If you're not gonna learn the old ways all you're gonna do is lop off fingers and toes. ;)

I have one of the attached pic.  It works well but I cannot find a full link to it so you can get one.  I searched long and hard (just the way I am I guess) and decided on the Browning model.

I vote for getting a Gurkha Khukri. It can do anything a tomohawk, machete, and knife can do. As for combat.. if the stories are true Gurkha warriors would silently take out sentries in World War 2 by beheading them.

CRKT has an awesome tomahawk that some swore by. Has a full tang so it's heavier but also stronger. I just can't get myself to spend the money for a high quality one.
