Curly maple tomahawk
« on: August 08, 2013, 12:41:00 AM »
Here is one of my Peregrine tomahawks that I dressed up with some fantastic curly maple.
This is my compact hawk and is built to take a beating and last a lifetime. It is made from 3/8" 4140, has a skeletonized full tang, and weighs in at
1lb 7oz. My makers mark is on the top edge of the head on these. I know leather would be a prettier, but you can't beat the utility of kydex.
Let me know what you think.


 

 

 

 

 

 

This is up for grabs, for now. : )

That wouldn't look half bad strapped to a leather back quiver.  Can't say that about many 'tactical' hawks.
