During the latter part of the Vietnam War, WWII veteran Peter LaGana, accessed the depths of his native American heritage and re-created a combat tool which had not seen practical use in over 100 years
..the Fighting Tomahawk.
Mr. LaGana made his American Tomahawk Company famous by manufacturing thousands of these fighting tomahawks for the benefit of our countrys servicemen placing their lives on the line in combat. After five official visits to the Pentagon, countless letters of thanks from customers whose lives were saved, and the war ending, Peter LaGana and the American Tomahawk Company quietly faded into the night, with a job very well done.
While copies and reproductions of the famous Vietnam Tomahawk have been made over the past 30 years by numerous companies, not one has ever been made with Mr. LaGanas personal approval.
After three decades, it is with great pride that we, the new American Tomahawk Company, in honor of Peter LaGana and his legacy, reopen the doors with his express approval, offering new models, blistering fast customer service, and a commitment to making the most desirable Tomahawks in the world.
Our debut offering to the public will be marked by two of a four Tomahawk series, honoring the United States Army Rangers and Major Robert Rogers ..the Rogers Rangers Tomahawk.
Reproduced from historical documents provided by the Ranger Training Brigade (RTB), the Rogers Rangers Tomahawks are authentic in every detail hand forged and hand finished. The four commissioned Tomahawks for the RTB will grace the Ranger museum at Fort Benning, side by side with Jim Dietzs commissioned oil painting "The Colonial Ranger". The American Tomahawk Company will also be co-sponsoring the US Army Ranger, Best Ranger Contest, in April 2001.
Our offerings will not stop there and we will keep our word .expect more extremely desirable tomahawks with the most exciting designs in the industry to come your way so fast, youll think they were THROWN at you!!!
Bobby Branton and I will gratefully be your hosts here. Please feel free to ask questions, log inquiries, or just share your enthusiasm about Tomahawks!!!
To answer a big question in advance, YES, we will be making a new version of the famous Vietnam Tomahawk...from better materials, sporting better finish quality and egde geometry, and fashioned entirely in the USA!!!
Let the discussions begin!!!
