WANTED Durable tomahawk

[CitadelGrad08]

Hello

Looking for a durable tomahawk or belt axe for light camp usage. I’m open to the style but would like to keep it mid to late 18th century period correct for a hunter in and around western North Carolina. Budget around $100.

Thank you for your consideration!

CRKT makes a Woods Nobo and Woods Chogan. With a little patience and an angle grinder they can be made to look more authentic. Bout $60 shipped.

Try forum member Tallpine. He made me a wonderful mouse hawk.

For your budget I would look at the Virginia axe that Clay Smith sells. I have one and it is excellent. And it’s based on an 18th century design.

I’ve used the British light infantry axe for over thirty years, it’s made camps, been to events, played handles, tried to cut off my thumb, skinned one deer, fed lots of fires at events and in the woods, started a few fires, like the deer just to see if I could.

Great responses, thank you all. I’ll check these out.

Clay is out of these right now, but call him and he will get some ordered from the blacksmith that makes them for him.

Plus he is a very cool dude to talk too.

Check out BeaverBill. I was at his shop today picking up a spiked hawk and always end up buying extra items.
