i'm new to the forum and was wondering if anybody could give me advice on a good tomahawk for camping and self defence. i already have a tomahawk but it's a real cheap i got on holidays and doesn't feel like it would take much punishment.
 
I have the same problem... I can't choose between the RR Spike or Minuteman. My advice is: Forget cost, and consider all options, then click on "Add to Cart".
 
yeh i was thinkin RR too but i'd much prefer a hammer poke to a spike, and i hear it starts grttin pricey when u want a hawk customized. so i,ll probably go for something like cold steels riflemans hawk.
 
Celt-

I currently have a CS Riflemans 'hawk. It's been good to me, came with a good utility edge and good enough construction. Good chopper, excellect thrower, good hammer poll. Good for camping and general outdoor use.

However the 32 ounces is a lot if you want to have a fast 'hawk for CQB. And after you use (not abuse) it for a while the head starts looking rusty/scratchy. I don't mind the scratched look but it still gets rust in the scratches even if you keep it clean and dry. I'll probaly make a quality sheath and get some stuff from trackofthewolf.com to make it look "ceremonious" and historic.

One more thing: the head came with an "American Tomahawk Company" sticker on it, even though its a Cold Steel tomahawk. "Taiwan" was imprinted in it, too.

From what I've heard, the ATC RR Spike is a lot better quality, so I'm saving up for that now.
 
yeh from wat you've said i'm startin to think more along the lines of the next gen or RR hawk, something that ill stay in good nic for a while. thanks for the advice man
