They also had guns so....Native Americans were wiped out and they had Bow and Arrow and spears to go with tomahawks. Just sayin.

Take a look at the picture I posted of mine, notice the sharped hook behind the blade?If I had to fight using a tomahawk, well, I don't have one. The closest thing I could grab is a fairly big framing hammer and, in my untrained hands, it would be about as effective as the best tomahawk in the world.
a shingling hatchet could be an improvised tomahawk!Take a look at the picture I posted of mine, notice the sharped hook behind the blade?
And until the widespread yse of revolvers and repeating rifles, the U.S. Army got their asses handed to them. By savages with stone age weapons.Native Americans were wiped out and they had Bow and Arrow and spears to go with tomahawks. Just sayin.
They make great hammers too.Estwing Black Eagle.
Just make sure it is an estwing.If I had to fight using a tomahawk, well, I don't have one. The closest thing I could grab is a fairly big framing hammer and, in my untrained hands, it would be about as effective as the best tomahawk in the world.
PS:
I am a strong supporter of axes, 'hawks and fixed blade knives!
I have mentioned this before and not only on this forum.
I have a small ESTWING camp axe in the bedroom (NO joke!) and a couple of Sog hawks inside the house too.
Plus both of us have knives around the house.
I THINK that I posted (?) a picture of my ESTWING and not the other Estwing and other axes around here/garage and IN his truck and car with a LINK to it somewhere on this forum.
I know that I posted it on some other forums that I QUIT and/or no longer go to, no longer read and no longer write on.

What a great movie that was. Then again great cast with Danial Day Lewis & Madeline Stowe. I wonder how she's looking these days as I had the hots for her.
I carry a small damascus bearded and spiked axe head on my walking stick, currently building a second one for dress carry with an artifical Narwhal tusk staff. 30" for 36" overall,blades are just over4" and 3"spikes/Maybe they can't be as concealment as a knife, but there is still both a utility and nostalgic feel by having a tomahawk on hand when your out in the wilderness. I'm looking forward to when a bladesmith I know will make me a full tang spiked hawk.
I lived in the forest in SW Colorado for 18 years, three of those in a Teepee...I carried a tomahawk every day, best camp tool around, Mine was bearded and a useful climbing aide.Nice tom a hawk but good ax you can not beat if you are in the field but that is my opinion
