looking for a Traditional but funtional Tomahawk

[brendog10]

Hey ,
I'm looking to by a new tomahawk , I've searched the web but have had little luck with finding what I'm looking for . Which is a traditional looking tomahawk , say a pipe or hammer style with wood handles for around $50-60. I can find my share of $300-400 ones but no bargain hawks . the other thing is I want it to be functional , not just a wall decoration and the cheaper hawks tend to be junk . So, any suggestions? I did find one on ragweed forge , called the Slasinski Hammer 'Hawk , anyone have any experience with these?THANKS.:thumbup:

Hanwei makes a pipehawk for around $78.00. It's at the bottom of the page here: http://www.discountcutlery.net/en-us/dept_21302.html

A.G. Russel offers onr for a bit more ($99): http://www.agrussell.com/product.asp?pn=CAS-XH2119&bhcd2=1233442170

Check out Ft Turner or HB Forge - the previous posts are informative also

These are in the makers forum right now. Keep an eye out there. They show up from time to time at what seems like reasonable prices. They aren't pipe hawks, but they sure look functional to me.

Second that.

On the pipe hawk issue, for me a hammer poll is much more usefull.

I hope this isn't spam, have you looked at Ragweed froge?

Ragnar has quite a few under $ 50 and if you want a user to beat on this may be a good place to start. Pat

Check out K R Johnson's hawks here because he has some sensible forged hawks at great prices. I'm working on one now.

I posted a poll axe over in fixed blades if you are interested.

I would check out H&B Forge, I've had one for at least 10 years. Just bought one for my wife two weeks ago.

Thanks y'all . All of the advice was helpful . I went ahead , and ordered the hammer hawk from ragnar today. I just bought the head and am going to cut down a sledgehammer handle for the hawk handle. I am trying to turn this into a fun project . I hope to make it look like a somewhat authentic tomahawk from revolutionary times. Also I got really excited by the cold steel trail hawk custom page and am planning to do something cool to mine in the not to distant future. i.e. when I get a steady cash flow. Anyway thanks again .:thumbup:

Cold Steel Frontier Hawk... traditional, simple, and throws amazingly well!!!

I can't remember but which of the 2 between H&B and Fort Turner is the brand that tends to be heavier and thicker.
