Hand-Forged Trade Axe #T-F16
Hand-forged trade-axe - tomahawk. This is a brand new, original, historically influenced, hand made tomahawk - trade-axe that I hand-forged in my blacksmith shop, The North River Forge. I specialize in reproductions of the 18th and 19th centuries. They have an authenticity rarely found in other maker's work. Each piece is unique. Steel: : 1060 High Carbon bar stock.. Cutting edge tempered to Rc 59-60 Dimensions: Head overall 5 3/8" - Cutting edge 2 3/4" wide. Haft: Ash wood. Tear drop shaped. 18" long. The ash was split into a billet with a froe, then rough shaped with a draw knife and finally finished with a block plane. That is exactly the way it was done in the 18th. century. Finish: Aged finish with an antique patina. Features: Beautiful hand file work on the blade. This hawk is stamped with my makers mark NR and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Great for re-enactors or collectors who crave tradition. Hand crafted in the traditions of long ago. It is a reminder of an era past. A very nice reproduction hawk that will take and keep a good edge. It has never been carried or used. It comes razor sharp, ready to use. Functional as well as beautiful. Great for many jobs around the camp or home. A classic 18th century design. Price: $150.00 plus $14.00 shipping. (USA and Canada)
