How much is your friend willing to spend? Pipe hawks are usually much more expensive than other models because of the work involved.
Here's a site I've seen that has pretty good prices. http://hometown.aol.com/bbfwhawks/beaverbill01001.htm I don't know what the quality is like though, so caveat emptor.

from Atlanta Cutlery (made in India, I think) that I've had laying around for the better part of ten years. I've never tried to throw it but I have done a little light chopping. It doesn't hold much of an edge but it didn't break either. The pipe works but it leaves a funny taste.
If you want it, I'll give it to you. Your friend can use and abuse it and then decide if he wants to spend big bucks for a nice one. I won't be offended if you say no, but if you want it drop me a line with your address.

Hey John,
Joseph Szilaski makes amazing hawks (and knives) ... but they aren't cheap.
Also might check out bladegallery.com ~ they often have hawks for sale.

LOL, raggie!! 
Interesting that it's in Walla Walla.....I have a knifemaker buddy - Bruce Bump - who not only made a hawk/axe, but put a barrel in one too!

Here's a pretty one that I really like, but being brass, wouldn't be a chopper:

And here's one that I think might be sturdy enough for actual use, but like Yvsa said, pipe 'hawks aren't the hardiest breed:

Take care.

that mathclock/axe is beautiful. German? 1500?
Nice as hell.
Brass will chop fine, if you restrict it to meat. (like the meat on someone's face)
So will bronze, stone, copper and glass.

actually, DIJ...it's a 2005 piece. That said, Bruce is basing it on some designs from the past.

Oh I can see that it is new, I just meant the original piece it was based on. Most people have no idea how technically precise and beautifully made some of the Renaissance weapons were.
amazing pieces of art, not just effective weapons.
The Japanese like to think that their weapons were the only artistic creations, and they will tell you so, but it is not true.
Yall ever seen a wheelock pistol? It has a miniature grinder inside of it!
The grinder wheel is set spinning and it actually grinds sparks off of the flint to fire the weapon. It is an older design that the simpler but easier to make flintlock. (I think, dont quote me on dates)

It looks to me like Bruce Bump made the world's coolest bayonet. I need one of those on my Kalashnikov.
