Tactical Tomahawks

outstanding reply, brother rbranan.

if you go into production with those beauties, send me a handle maybe, and we can make ya some composite versions for added value.

they are fantastic. - your command of the knowledge to make them purposefully just makes them better.

thanks for your thoughts on the steel.

Wow.I really like them.they have a rugged beauty to them.the kind of beauty that can take a door off it's hinges.
 
Oh baby, if these puppies got fitted with a Vector handle.... Words could not describe...

I was purposely trying not to copy the current trends in tomahawks.

Believe me with the correct effort and technique those heads will blast through targets (whatever they may be).

The tomahawk that looks like a Kama is sort of a hybrid that was a collaboration with law enforcement to hook and trap.

The other one was meant to emulate a double bit ax.

They both have martensitic cutting surfaces with bainitic bodies.

Through the use of molten salts and interrupted quenches and careful attention to TTT diagrams this was achieved.

The method for attaching the head was to use a drifted eye with the epoxy firearm owners use to bed their rifles.

The tapered eye, acraglas epoxy, and keeper maintains head integrity.

The keeper will stop the head from traveling in the only direction it can... downward.

As far as being robust... anything can break if abused.

Anyway I was just exercising my creativity in steel.

Would you mind telling me more about this epoxy you used to secure the heads?
 
I use tomahawk handles which are tapered lengthwise and tear-drop shaped in their diameter.

So the head will not fly off. It may loosen, but it won't fly off.

The geometry of the handle won't let it.

The only way off is the way it was attached... slid on and finally stopped by the swelling of the haft.

The keeper along with Acraglas finalizes the retention of the head.

Here's the link for Acraglas:

Here's a link to adhesive discussion from another forum that will explain to you why I chose Acraglas:

Hope this helps.

You know I bought both when I ordered from Brownells but the regular worked really well and you want it (the Acraglas) to be a little runny so it will flow in the nooks and crannies.

The viscosity of the Acraglas worked really well for me
