Custom Hatchet needed

[Medicine Man]

Hello everyone. I am in search for someone who is willing to design and make me a custom styled hatchet or tomahawk that is only about an 1/8 th inch thick, about 12 inches long, and about 5 inches wide (no material for handle. All stainless from tip of blade to bottom of handle) for my custom Indian themed motorcycle. Please email me or any kind of info would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums!

If you want this for decoration only, not function, you would probably be able to get a sheet metal shop to make it for you cheaper and faster. A shop that has a CNC cutting table would be able to punch this out in about 2 minutes once the CAD design was finished. All that would be left to do is cleanup and polishing (which a shop should be able to handle as well). I've done a bit of this type of work (I'm a journeyman welder/fabricator by trade) but don't have access to a cutting table now.

If you want an actual functional design, that is another matter. As soon as you go from a low carbon stainless (316, 416, etc.) to a edge-worthy stainless (440C, ATS-34, etc) the price for materials and working time will increase significantly. If you want a functional blade, you should post in the Q&A section under the makers forums - someone there will either make it or point you in the right direction.

Have a good one,
