A better tomahawk for me

[Larry in Bend]

After our discussion of CS hawks (as I mentioned I've had the Rifleman's Hawk for 10-12-years and it's my only hawk) I thought perhaps I should investigate getting a better tomahawk. I was thinking in the $50 to $100 range for a nicely finished tool that would be a decent chopper and had a poll that would allow light hammering. I can make my own sheath, if necessary. Something smaller than my CS Rifleman's would be nice - maybe a haft 14" to 16" in length. I see Two Hawks' products on this site and if he had one to sell I'd probably spring for one of his least expensive models, partially 'cause he lives in my home town. Maybe some of you have suggestions??

Thanks for the suggestions! The hawk does need to have a poll of some kind and a wooden handle. I'll look more at the very nice Ragweed Forge site. Any other ideas - around $100 maybe?

I've heard only good stuff about HB Forge. www.hbforge.com

Drifter - Their small camp axe looks pretty much like what I had in mind. Their products don't seem to be very expensive; is it your opinion that they are of a better overall quality than the CS Hawks (if that's a fair question)?

I can only go by what I've heard about them, which was generally good. Others here would be more suited to answer questions about their 'hawks.
