Boker Chicken Hawk / American Kami Micraxe

[Kreyzhorse]

Hey BF,

A friend of mine picked up a Boker Chicken Hawk and after seeing it, I was hooked and happened to see one for sale on the exchange and jumped on one myself. In full disclosure, i am no expert on tomahawks. After some Google Fu, it looks like they are a licensed copy of the American Kami Micraxe. Beyond that, I didn't see much additional about either on the interweb.

Personally, I found the ergonomics, fit and finish and heft fantastic. That is what pulled me in. As far as usefulness, however, it might work well for minor camp craft but a well made hatchet would excel at virtually every task. It wouldn't be my first choice as a self defense weapon either.

Not exactly sure what to do with it, but I know I like it and it feels damn good in hand and would make one hell of a cool paperweight.

Anyway, curious if anyone has any insight or opinions on either or of these two Tomahawks and how do you use them?

Just a thought since you don't know what to do with it, do you have a space where you could throw it if you made a target ?
You say you really don't know what to do with it, but this is at least something you could do with it.

I could at that but this is designed with a jay hook on the end of the handle and it appears it wasn't really designed as a throwing hawk.
