Description
The tomahawk has long held a dual role among many Native American peoples, serving both as a practical tool and a symbol of status or identity. Its form and decoration vary greatly depending on the tribe and region. This particular tomahawk, shaped by the hands at Windlass Steelcrafts, is forged from high carbon steel. The blade is carefully shaped and hardened through traditional methods to withstand the rigors of use. The head features a pattern of indented dots alongside pierced sections,these not only add visual interest but also help reduce weight while maintaining the strength needed for chopping or throwing.
- Overall length: 23-3/8″
- Head dimensions: 9-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
Fun fact: The Missouri Battle Hatchet, a style favored by frontiersmen and soldiers during the 1700s and 1800s, earned its reputation by striking a careful balance between chopping power and throwing precision, making it a reliable companion both on the battlefield and in everyday frontier life.
