No offense intended for Dusty or PhiL...but I never understood the utility of a pipe hawk. It seems to me that the handle would be weakened by the hole drilled in the length of the haft, rendering the core function of the hawk (a battle implement) to be weakened. I don't get it. :confused:

Maybe I'm just ignorant and I need to research the purpose of the pipe hawk...for maybe a pipe hawk is meant to be a ceremonial device wherein the battle weapon is turned to peaceful purposes.

Again...No offense intended for Dusty or PhiL. That hawk sure is purty! :thumbup:

Pipe tomahawks eventually became status symbols within the tribes. Chiefs who received pipe tomahawks at treaty signings often carried them their entire lives. As signs of prestige, pipe tomahawks often were held by Native American chiefs while being photographed.

The pipe tomahawk's design contains a great deal of symbolism. The traditional tomahawk often was used as a throwing axe and therefore frequently associated with violence. Peace pipes are intended to be smoked during rituals and ceremonies. Because pipe tomahawks were presented to Native Americans during ceremonies, they took on some of the pacifistic symbolism of the latter.

Historians view pipe tomahawks as important symbols of the interactions between Native Americans and European Americans. Like the pipe tomahawk, relations between these two groups could be violent (as symbolized by the tomahawk) or peaceful (as symbolized by the pipe).

That's beautiful, right there. I like the pics where people roll out their enitre buckskinning or other re-enactment kit: rifle, knife, hawk, pack, etc. This is the modern equivalent. Throw in a pack and a hat, and you've got a piece of art. I think it would look great with a FAL, too.

Good job. :thumbup:
 
I just want you guys to know that I blame YOU for bringing back my "tomahawk" fetish/obsession, that hasn't reared it's ugly head since Patriot came out... :mad:

I NEED to be buying hicapacity magazines and a couple of lowers...but NOOOooooo...now I'm looking at fighting hatchets! :D
