Hi! Long time forum member but new to Ax and Tomahawk...

Recently I have been seeing a bunch of 'original' and replica Vietnam tomahawks go up for auction. I know that AKTI made the 'true' original and there was knock off made overseas and originally imported by Cold Steel and S&W knives. These recent ones all come with Cordura sheaths with Vrelcro closures so I assume they are recent manufacture.

Is there a new company producing Vietnam Tomahawks and where can I get some?

Thank You in advance for your time.

Actually, the original was designed by Peter LaGana and produced by his American Tomahawk Company. ATC is back in business with new owners & the Vietnam hawk is one of their products. ATC has a forum in the Makers & Manufacturers area of BF. If you browse through there you'll find a good comparison of the ATC hawk to a Cold Steel. In the meantime, here are links to a couple of reviews:
