French Tomahawk Opinions

[Triquetra]

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.

Excellant thrower, mediocre chopper.

Looks nasty whatever it is.

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.
