The Relic Tactical Tomahawk by Warwood Tactical

I'm not sure what to think about the raised lip design all around the head.

The main portion of the fluting on the head aids in blade retraction after puncture into a material. It also helped us decrease overall weight.

You may need to have a Dealer Membership for posts like this BTW. You should probably look into it.

Looks like the same design as an RMJ Shrike.

Jblyttle - yes thank you we've been talking with the mods about it!

I think you would be better off with single, high center line than two rails. I can imagine situations those two higher rails can help hawk get stack, slowing retraction time, when hitting softer objects . Also, when striking objects that are not uniform in density those rails can cause unintended change of hawk's head travel path. I believe RMJ starterd with similar design but in recent products they opted for flat heads, instead

I think it's a too late entry into a crowded market of tacti-cool tomahawks.

These young entrepenuers have a plant still capable of making what nobody else makes, a good full-cheeked American felling axe (hatchet/boys axe) out of plain high carbon steel.

If people could buy something with Flint Edge quality metal and good classic geometry then you'd have something.

They already have machines; I wish them wisdom and success of Henry Ford: pay your employees better than competition, make cheap, good quality product for masses and conquer the world.

I agree cool and useless.Bet if they made Connies from one and a half to four pounds ,they would have something.Warwood is a good old name sure hope y'all keep it that way.

i'm just glad you guys are keeping an old brand alive and producing good quality tools, much like CT. I don't want to tell you guys how to run your business but i would like to see good user quality axes from you guys. i don't know much about the current state of the market in these things but it seems council has their foot in the door and trying to compete with them might not produce the sales necessary to break even, dividing the market and such

A three-pound Connecticut pattern, full-cheeked with a high centerline, good heat-treat and premium handle, is just one example of a coveted axe that's not being made anymore and would probably have a successful kickstarter from an established American manufacturer like Warwood.

The axe in the photo was made in West Virginia (home of Warwood Tool Co.), and Warwood could bring axe-making back to the state, perhaps with its version of a "Registered Axe".

3 to 4-1/2 pound Connecticut pattern axes. That way they'd have an entry level racing axe for would be competitors. I'd lay out $150 for a new 4-1/2 pound connie in a heartbeat.
