So after looking at all of their designs, I think I need a Shawnee. I intend to use it as a woods haw apposed to throwing it
Those of you that have one what do you like/don't like?
If you have in picture I'd love to see them
 
In before the barrage of H&B is the best!! H&B is indeed the best hawks for the price, hand forged in traditional wrap and weld methods. The Shawnee is a great hawk, too. Thicker than the CS ones so it'll split better, and with more weight behind it it'll chop great. The Shawnee is the typical pick, that or the med polled camp axe, which served as a hammer as well as chopper.
 
I was originally leaving towards the med camp axe but I like the looks of the Shawnee more, plus it's cheaper
 
Actually the Spike Tomahawk and Viking Mammen Axe H&B made for me aren't really that much thicker than Cold Steel hawks. IMO the thickness is just about right.
 
I don't have that model but I do have a spike hawk from them you can't go wrong with H & B.
 
I like my H&B Forge Franciscan Hawk. Its the 6th from the left on the lower row...

I've been using tomahawks for about 30 years and this is my ideal.

Custom H&B spike tomahawk. They already have ones called the Seneca and the Shawnee, so I call this one the Wyandot.
 
Back in the 90s I purchased two hawks at a muzzleloader supply store my dad's friend owned. I gave dad one and the other I took with me to Fort Bragg, strapped it in its leather pouch to my LBE, and made many jumps with it. At first I got some snickers, and the jump masters would give me hell about it (everything needs to be tied down when jumping from an aircraft). Finally guys figured out its usefulness in the field for cutting sector stakes, etc. Anyway, I tucked my hawk away for a bit, getting it out occasionally. A few days I took a good look at it and discovered it was an H&B!
