I know I talk a lot about how my spike hawk is my most used tomahawk - and it's true. But I'm also a bit terrified of the spike - at least when I'm carrying it or using the blade side.
Estwing actually makes a "Tomahawk" - it looks pretty good and the weight seems reasonable. I'm thinking of buying one... has anyone here purchased or tested one yet?

I did a search of the bushcraft site and wasn't able to find what I was looking for; if I just missed it, feel free to point me to the right thread and disregard the following. My question is this: For those of you who own or have used the SOG Tactical Tomahawk, what do you think? I know it's...
Hello there! I'm wondering if anyone here has ever made a tomahawk from a drywall hatchet/hammer? Obviously it wouldn't be able to have a friction fit, easily replaceable handle, and the size would be limited.
I've got my first tomahawk on order, a Cold Steel Trailhawk. I already plan to strip the paint, and give it a good patina, as well as customizing the handle to my liking. Still not sold on a tomahawk becoming a mainstay in my kit, as I carry small hatchets, a Collins boys axe, or a 8" Kukri for...
