I have a crkt woods chogen tomahawk and was debating whether to cut the hammer section off when I remembered an old add that was in all the gun magazines at the time(80's) for a tomahawk. It was just the head,no handle as the idea was you made one in the field. If I remember correctly it also had a hammer head on the back. Can't seem to find references to it on the net. Any help greatly appreciated.

That's it! I was googling smatchet which of course was bringing up the old Applegate design not the same thing. Thanks! and I think I'll just keep the hammer head on the crkt as a homage to the (let me scroll up) sckatect or what ever that's it! Thanks again

Damn Arathol, an old magazine add from the 60's, I'm impressed.
Thats a picture from the link....I can't find my old knife magazines......Damn Arathol, an old magazine add from the 80's, I'm impressed.
To add onto this pardon the pun, when this add came out the local mil surplus shop had spools of parachute cord as of course it had been around for awhile. After that add the spools went empty and lots of people I knew had a hank of para cord in their pocket. That's how I know that add was the start of it.

Skatchet
I know this is gimmickie, but ever since I saw one in a catalog in the 80's I wanted one. I actually have a few ideas on how to make it better (I believe). If anyone is interested in trying to make one, please send me a PM. Here is a pic and part of a post from another forum on the Skatchet...

That reminds me of when I was a kid back in the 70's. My dad was a civilian worker at North Island Naval base here in San Diego. He would occasionally bring home a pocket-sized wad of white paracord for use around the house. To me and my friends that stuff was like some kind of futuristic miracle rope. We loved the stuff. And I used to sell lengths of it to the other kids
.Whoa there, hold on a sec-
If insulting another member, or posting something that another member chose to take as an insult meant a person had to leave this forum, I would have been gone MANY YEARS ago
.I don't know what you posted, but you have as much right to be here as anyone else. As long as you don't break the Forum Rules and give a Moderator a reason to come down on you, you're alright, no need to leave. If you made a mistake, just learn from it, and don't make it again.
You didn't insult a Moderator did you? THAT isn't a good idea. But still, you don't get excommunicated for it. The Mods are a very fair bunch around here.
LOL.....Don't worry about Thomas, he's harmless.....
No nothing like that,but after I made my post I scrolled down and seen a thread that I thought I could contribute some first hand knowledge,did make the mistake of dropping a name,however obscure though not to this forum Bravo still wrong move on my part.Whoa there, hold on a sec-

I just read it, you're good, you did nothing wrong.
People here are a good bunch. Most have thick skin and aren't overly sensitive. In fact, I can't think of anyone on this forum that I would call a jerk. Some members can be a little snarky sometimes, but not in a mean-spirited way. And some members will make jokes that sound like an insult, but that's just their sense of humor.
Don't worry, you're amongst friends here.
