What do you all think of this style tomahawk from Ragweed Forge http://www.ragweedforge.com/ThrowingCatalog.html for a backwoods user. I really like the looks but wasn't sure how it would compare to a more traditional shaped tomahawk. I'm not really satisfied with my CS Trailhawk.

IIRC That axe is a Fransesca, or Frankish throwing axe. An old design and well proven.

That is what I saw it refered to, but when I did a search, the blade style actually look a lot different to me and was a lot bigger.
 
Cuts OK for its weight. Not good for splitting hardwood, but that's true of hawks generally due to the abrupt transition between the blade and cheek.
