Then Forbes Magazine sent a reporter to talk with Ryan.
As she was looking at one of his tomahawks, she said, “Isn’t this vicious?” And Ryan said, “Ma’am, they’re not playing touch football.”

Reminds me of this scene from Snatch:

Tommy: "Is he allowed to do that?"
Turkish: "It's an unlicensed boxing match, Tommy, not a tickling competition. These lads are out to hurt each other."

Pretty hawk!
And great brand. I would have bought the Eagle Talon, if not for the waiting time in six months ...

They are available with some regularity on the Exchange for list price or less. Or just order one and wait.

A man called and ordered a couple of tomahawks from us. It was his second order. He said his son was going back to Afghanistan, and he wanted him to have a tomahawk. He said, “You guys are doing something important. Enemy fire had pinned down my son and his team in a concrete building for three days. My son used your tomahawk to chop a hole in the back on the building, and he and his team escaped.” That changed our attitude about what we’re doing. So our favorite calls are the ones when the parents tell us our tomahawk is why their son was able to come home. That has given us a deeper understanding and respect for our men and women who are over there

This is my favorite quote from the story. I can't imagine the pride the guys at RMJ must feel when they hear something like this.

Nice article. It's mentioned that the hawks are laser cut, but in the Modern Marvels episode, they are clearly being forged. Were they laser cut at one time, or are some of them laser cut, while others are forged?

Talons, Kestrels and Jennys are laser cut.
The Shrike are drop-forged.
