well my wife gifted me with a throwing axe, tomahawk from kult of athena ,to replace some hawks and kukri i had to sale,when i was sick,has that forged/scale look i have been wanting a really dark handle,and pretty dang sharp,i know i think it is made in india but i looked it up and it was only 24.99.every since i fixed up/modded two cold steels,i have been wanting a wolf creek forge, but this will do for now,i am keeping this one.seems well worth the money though.
