I like your video. I carried a tomahawk, when I was in the United States Infantry. But, I disagree with you about one thing. You said that tomahawks are very cheap. Tomahawks can be really expensive depending on who makes them. The American Tomahawk Company CQC-T Emerson Design is $290.00 and the Comanche Hawk is $375.00.

@1bornsurvivor I get mine for around 20 bucks a piece, they work every bit as well at the 200-400 dollar ones. they may not hold an edge as long but for the price difference who cares.

@1bornsurvivor black smithing is really fun i enjoy it alot

[1bornsurvivor]

@258legolas Unfortunately, I cannot make them. I wish that I had the necessary skill set and the equipment/tools to make a good quality tomahawk myself. That would be fantastic! I would make one for all of my buddies and close family members this year for birthday gifts.

Ehem, a tomohawk is an axe wanker

I have several hawks including the Trail hawk, love 'em.I agree that the hawk is a worthy addition to a tool set for bush carry. My preferred three tool set is my BK-2, a custom Canadian belt knife and a trail hawk.Expanded to a 4 tool set I add my CS SMIII trail master.
