Custom Tomahawk - Hand-Forged Item #T-1215-2 Hammer Poll Hawk
This is a brand new, original, historically influenced, hand made tomahawk - trade/belt axe that I forged in my blacksmith shop, The North River Forge. I specialize in hand forged reproductions of the 18th and 19th centuries. Each piece is unique. Steel: : Hand forged from a British made ball peen hammer Dimensions: Head overall 6 1/2" - Cutting edge 2 3/8" wide. Haft: Hard maple. Tear drop shaped. 17 5/8" long. The maple 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. Functional as well as beautiful. A classic 18th century design.
