Dominion arms tomahawk

[dand883]

Hi CanAm, can you guys make a tomahawk kind of like this one

but at a similar price to the rough use knife. You can skip the grip panels to save cost, I'll just wrap it in para cord.

I really like the looks of this one but its sort of expensive for a piece of steel.

Of the pictures in this thread so far this one is my favorite. The main thing i would like to see is the back end a little wider like the gerber to use as a hammer if you needed to (it may be that it already has this, but it's hard to tell from the picture. It's more practical than some with a big spike or a point on the back.

Love the 6K plus views of this thread.
I wonder how many were disappointed like me when they clicked on the thread thinking this was a new DA rifle or shotgun platform, only to see instead that it's a request for this banal object...

Kinda like the idea of this

I've had my eye on that one for a while too

, it dices, it slices, it'll vacuum your rugs...(does everything, just doesn't do anything particularly well)

Just curious, to each his own; but do you guys have a real practical use for tomahawks?

I've injured myself more with hatchet-type tools than anything else.

Mine is my non gun home defense. It has a nice savage factor to it. Nothing says "If you want insane, you got it!", like a tomahawk.

The gerber model with a little bigger hammer head would get my vote.

Follow this design, use a decent steel, and replace the big hole in the head with something (anything) useful like hex wrenches etc., and I'm in for at least 3.

Edit: Oh, and don't lose the 2 angle blade. I'd be out if it's just a boring normal looking blade.

I really like the Spyderco design, it doesn't have to be stainless, I'd prefer something that keeps an edge longer. If you make it without the holes it should be cheaper.

Would it be stamped or cut with a water jet?

 

[rally guy]

This might sound dumb but if you retain ether the bottom or top ole, one could be a hex as mention and what about a botle opener for the other?

 

[Dorian Gray]

This looks nice and actually useful. I'd buy this.

now that is DAAAYUM!!!

If it looks like the OP's original pic i'll take 3 , for gifts , maybe 4 . If it has rulers , screw driver , wrenches , prybars or forks and spoons I will take exactly none . I want a tactical hawk and that's it . I'll buy my own screwdrivers , wrenches and bottle openers .

Funny, the wife said I was going over the top when I suggested we replace the shotgun with a chainsaw, in our home defence plan.

My rationality was that: If the sound of a shotgun being racked in a distant room is <scary> for potential home invader... seeing a naked middle-aged man, show up in the hallway with a safety helmet w/lights and a screaming chainsaw... ought to be scarier... no
Ho well, we're back to the shotgun.

As far as use for a tomahawk, I'd guess the same as a hatchet.

Get yourself one of these:

And you do everything from chopping wood and filleting fish to carving your own bowls.

I very nearly did when I was in Norway last month... The big sporting goods store has a Swedish hatchet/tomahawk for a reasonable price.

A quick comment, though - if you're using a quality steel and getting it hardened, the steel alone will run somewhere in the $30 range. Professional heat-treat has a price, too.

This thread has me contemplating making something out of our scrap at work... 4-axis wire EDM

That's what my cheap knock-off katana is for...
