Flashpowder Hal Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 OR, For just over $30 you could get the Cold Steel Trench Hawk Very well made and sharp. http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Trench-Hawk-Axe/dp/B0030DBHGU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323651909&sr=8-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about metallurgy & such. Looking at two tomahawks This one is $69.99 This one is $129.99 Appreciate any input on either of these. Is one "better" than the other? Thanks. Look up HatchetandAxes.com for some other options. I don't know if I'd want to throw a $129.99 hawk. I have several just plan old throwin' hawks with wooden handles that sell for $20.00 +/- and they stick in the target if I do my part, plus I can replace the handles easily. Good Luck LL' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Windshadow Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Here are 14 historic models ranging in price from $30 to $45 or so http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Search.aspx?Search=tomahawk Nice folks to do biz with too know nothing about these folks but they are offering a 2 of them for less then $10 and I would guess some paint remover would take care of the golden dragon motif not really my style but it takes all kinds right? http://www.hrknives.com/servlet/the-24638/Misc-Throwing-Axe-Set/Detail but you know what the say about a price too good to be a bargain....

Doc Windshadow Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Just call it a "Cultural Weapon" (I think the Ghurka manage to use this tactic in some parts of the world to wear their knives in public) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedazzle it with bling and you will go unnoticed at the Magnificent Mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Henry Horns SASS #19579L Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Track of the Wolf "Hawks" have been real good for my son & me. Very durable and throw nicely.
