Last year I started making handcrafted stone blade tomahawks. While camping I always whittle but I ran out of things to do so I decided to make a tomahawk.

I found the most perfect rock and used it for a head, I split a handle and inserted the rock, I then wrapped it with sinew and wet leather, the leather dried and shrunk on the tomahawk. The stone does not budge wiggle or move whatsoever! I busted beers exploded 2 liters and chopped sticks. This thing will crush skulls! It weight about 6 pounds!

Here is a pic of the big tomahawk, and a much smaller one I made as well.


I'm going to start selling these on etsy.

Since then I now use hand knapped stones for the heads, use only leather and sinew, no more glue and add beads and arrowheads to my hawks. Here are some photos of my works in progress.

Here is my newest hawk it has an arrowhead bottom rabbit fur and pheasant feathers

I'm hoping my flint knapped tomahawk heads get here tomorrow, I have been waiting for UPS for 5 days now. Im anxious to finish these last 2 up!.
 
Thank you very much! I'm a casual fan, have a lot of friends that are die hard fans though!
 
This reminds me of when I got bored in Afghanistan. I carved a 2X4 down in the shape of a warclub and guntaped a rock to it. My Warrant loved it! He smashed way too much stuff until the tape gave (obviously!) Well done on your hawks.
 
Thanks for the comments! They are very fun to make and I can't wait to finish the projects I am working on to start new ones! I a. Anxiously waiting for my knapped blades.
 
My newest tomahawk!

Custom tomahawk I have made inspired by native Americans with a touch of my own. I used a 5.2 inch flint knapped stone head. I added pheasant feathers and beads. It is wrapped in suede and sinew. The handle is made from an ash tree and it is coated in spar urethane. The grain in the wood is beautiful. The handle is approximately 16" . If you have any questions please ask.


 
The blade on this is very sharp! Wait till you see my new one im making! it has a 3" spearhead on the bottom!
 
Well my craft has advanced ALOT over the past 2 months!!! I now have 7 sales and my customers are in love with my tomahawks!!! Here are a few of my newest tomahawks from "HandcraftedTomahawks" !! All of the heads are flintknapped and sharp. For more info please ask, and feel free to comment!
