looking for a small tomahawk head
« on: April 27, 2013, 08:43:28 pm »
Hey guys,

I'm looking for a small tomahawk head to make a small belt hawk. It doesn't have to be in great shape, just fixable. Looking for something with a 4-5" head and a 2" -3" cutting edge. Let me know what you have, I got staves, sinew, leather, feathers, knives, arrow shafts and much more I can trade.

Thanks.

Nope, googled Tommy hawk head. But I do know how to copy it. One of my friends got one as a christmas gift last year from me.
More or less what you do is take a 8 inch piece of steel(for a 3 inch blade or so) and wrap it around a 1" steel rod, while its red hot, and then forge-weld the two ends together, then just forge into shape of blade, and grind an edge. Sounds easy, and the first 1/2 is easy, but its actually pretty hard at the end, if you let it cool after weld and just cold forge, which yields work-hardened steel, which can be pretty dang hard, approaching RC 65. Its also less brittle than high carbon, but not as strong.
I like fairly soft steel for hatchet/axe/tommyhawk.
