Native American Indian Spike War Hawk. Hand Forged from a ball peen hammer
This is a brand new, original, historically influenced, hand made tomahawk that I forged in my blacksmith shop, The North River Forge. I specialize in hand forged reproductions of the 18th and 19th centuries. Each piece is unique.
Steel: : Hand forged from a British made ball peen hammer
Dimensions: Head overall 7 1/4" - Cutting edge 2 1/4" wide.
Haft: Hard maple. Tear drop shaped. 18" long. The maple was split into a billet with a froe, then rough shaped with a draw knife and finally finished with a block plane. That is exactly the way it was done in the 18th. century.
Finish: Aged finish with an antique patina.
Features: Beautiful hand file work on the blade.
This hawk is stamped with my makers mark NR and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Great for re-enactors or collectors who crave tradition. Hand crafted in the traditions of long ago. It is a reminder of an era past. A very nice reproduction hawk that will take and keep a good edge. It has never been carried or used. Functional as well as beautiful. A classic 18th century design.
Price: $225.00 includes shipping and insurance to the USA and Canada.
Thanks everyone for looking. Comments are always welcome.
