Looking for a throwing knife and tomahawk for rendezvous

[Claude Mathis]

For a bunch of dudes that make believe they're mountain men & long hunters, you're quick to abandon historical accuracy. No one was wandering the 18th century American frontier with an axe made on the Indian subcontinent, and certainly not with drop-forged Chinese axes. On the other hand, there were tons of guys walking around with hand forged American axes.

If we start comparing the metal that all our guns, knives, pots, etc. are made from, there wouldn't be anything we could use. :wink:

Missed my point by a country mile.... :wink:

Thousands of tomahawk heads were imported...a good historian should know that.......

:hmm: Perhaps,, but if you continue to study,, you'll find that a whole lot of cutlery, be`it blades or axe came from Sheffield,,
Calm down new guy,, this isn't the "historically correct" section of the forum.
It's the 21st century,, people here come from all walks of life and all manner of income and family situations,,
Your right,, but we try to encourage folks too join the hobby at what ever level they can,, and progress at the rate that's best affordable to them.

I'm not going to stop someone from participating in a hawk toss at a Rendezvous because they have a $19 second hand or gifted Crazy Crow mouse hawk.

What ever you buy.....be sure to get a couple of extra handles. Claude know's what he is talking about when it comes to the game of handles. That's why you need a couple extra ones.

I wanted a belt knife I could use so I got a decent heavy bladed bone handled taos trapper from crazy crow.As I knew would happen the bone scales went on the first throw and were replaced with leather scales.throws great will hold an edge to do camp work and is easy on the eyes. Taos Trapper from Crazy Crow.might find it for less elsewhere

For great quality and prices, look online to Track of the Wolf. around 35dollars for a good hawk, we've been using them for years.

Beautiful stuff. If I had the $$ I'd be all over both the hammer poll tomahawk and that scalping knife.

I bought two Beaver Bill hawks for throwing about 13 years ago, and I've been very pleased with them. I started my step-son throwing them when he was about ten, and he really enjoys it. We stick a wild turkey feather in the block as a target, and then compete to see who can stick it first.
