It's in the works fellas.....

I was interested in a good tomahawk trainer for classical type hawks so I e-mailed the man himself at Cold Steel and he sent this back as a reply.....


Dear Matt,

I'm making our first axe trainer in Jan-Feb 2011. I hope to make dedicated
Tomahawk trainers by 2012.


Best Regards

2 years off but they're thinking and that's a good first step.

as cheap as the cold steel tomahawks are you can buy an extra one and grind away the edge... if you want one to beat on your friends with make it with PVC foam and tape...

That would be very painful with or without foam.

well since I would not hit anyone with the dull metal one that would not be a problem


the pvc foam ones don't hurt at all...

I hope you did not think that I was suggesting to take a metal one dull it then cover it with plast and foam......

I have to have one! My little brother will rue the day you let me find out about this thing. The swords look like fun too.

Oh haha, that is exactly what I thought you said, my mistake.

They make a mace too now.

I'll be very interested in seeing what ol' LT has up his sleeve in terms of the CS trainers.

I have one. Well, my 9-year-old daughter has one and I requisitioned it to chalk up and train with. The Nerf swords are also handy, and they can easily be cut down to make training knives.

I used to make "toy" hawks out of 9/10 oz leather.
lay hawk head on leather and trace - cut 2 of these and glue the rough sides together.
then take another strap about 2" wide, wrap around your hawk handle about 1" down from the end and glue to the leather blade. (this way as the leather stretches you can snug it back up) For extra durability you can sew all the pieces together.
round over edges on the "head" with a belt sander.
dye, wax, or oil to taste.

you can also do similar things with the mudflap off a truck - and shouldn't need to double up the blade thickness.
