I am drawn to Scandinavian and Native american axes. I know about nothing about em though. Would like a utility camping ax for light/ medium wood chopping, branch clearing and general camp use. Some simple utilitarian, but with a bit of fair if you know what i mean. Some beautiful but practical. And protection on the handle for all my misses. Small, light..
Please share the knowledge

Hardy pray tell - whats going on with your axes? Where do they come from, differences, use. But most importantly where do i order :laughing4:

Ok - Short story. My grandfather believed that every man should have a good knife and a good axe. His axe was strapped behind his seat in his old Land Cruiser and I got to know from a young age what worked and what did not, as I tried my hand at making my own out of old leaf springs etc.
I would make the following suggestion: Buy either a Cold Steel or CRKT axe or tomahawk as a starter.
I like the tomahawks as they are relatively light, They chop & cut like an axe, but they have the classic look of hickory wood, and it is also a fantastic weapon. You can then modify, and detail it as you please. Leather is seriously cheap, as is the other stuff that will eventually find it's way onto the axes or tomahawks you modify.
I regrind mine, as I do not like the makers mark on the blades. I also use perma blue after the grinding to give the blades the used, fallout look.
I often burn the hickory handles to achieve the same weathered look. I will pm you the link to the supplier - let me know which shape you are interested in, as I have tried them all, and can save you school fees.

Folders i will buy
Fix blades only hand made - i dont have many, actually only 3, but all hand made - from here or other places - https://www.sharpedge.co.za/custom/handmade-knives. For utility knives go to a lessor known craftsman. I think the prices are a steal for proper handmade knives. And you support the craft
Axes, i will prefer hand made. - dont know much. Please tell me more.

Sure, I understand. Unfortunately, I only wish I could have been a blacksmith. Hein, I think you must get a blacksmith to create the steel head for you. Not sure which steel (Damascus, Tool steel etc) you are going to use, but I understand that it would either be a Viking or Native American shape. You can then specify exactly which grind you are looking for and then you do the rest yourself. The wood, leather sheath, handle leather, strapping, etc is the fun part.
I will upload some closer pics of some of the tomahawks in about 30 minutes as I am on the road now.

Hardy went to look for the rider that picked up problems. Unfortunately it happens often in our area.

@Kilroy
I am posting a few links from a guy in the states who does custom tomahawks from either CRKT or Cold Steel donor blades.
Viking Valhalla
Cold Steel Spike Hawk
Cold Steel Norse Hawk
Knotted Frontier Hawk
Attached you will find pics of the donor blades with hickory handles.
The nice thing about these donor blades is the fact that you wont have to do any special heat treatment on it.
Hopefully some of the guys here will also try their hand at making their own axe or tomahawk.
PS - The guy's accent is a bit heavy on the ears but he does a great job :thumleft:

Hardy, hoe werk die swaarder hawks vir SA hout splitting. Ons hout kan mos kak hard wees? Onthou asb my PM.
Baie goed - Die' Tomahawk is die perfekte all rounder.
Ons het Mopanie bo in Namibia, en die Hawk split, chop, strip etc soos 'n droom.
Ekgaan vir jou een stuur om te probeer. Besluit of dit vir jou werk, en bou daarna jou eie.
Post by: KiLRoy on February 02, 2020, 05:14:30 pm
Like die eerste finish meer.
Like die hawk so swaar as moonlik
Like nie te bree blade nie. Moet kan split
Like a nice natuurlike taper
Like defnitief die hamer aan die ander kant. Nie die spike nie. Ook nie niks nie. Twee redes. - tent penne en ander jobs. Om bo op te slaan wanneer jy split.
My kop is watter indeemse hout ek sal ek gebruik vir die handle. Fok dis nice...
Ok, mind made up. Gaan die hawks n gou gee. Fok dis exciting.

Is dit meer vir die mooigeit Louis, of gebruik jy hulle ook? Tips vir gebruik?
Beide Hein. Ek is liewer vir die kleiner handbyle waarvan die gebruik eintlik onbeperk is. Jy kan hulle gebruik van selfverdediging, slag van karkasse, sny van groente, split van hout en so kan jy maar aangaan. As jy hom net wil uitstal word die outjie mooi opgedollie dan raak hy eintlik onprakties vir gebruik, maar lyk mooi op vertoning vir jou versameling of by jou bar ens.
Hier het ek byvoorbeeld een gemaak vir Alegro wat die byltjie net wil gebruik in sy bar vir suurlemoene sny.

As ek nou weer oorgaan sal ek weer n stelletjie koop en dalk n boog ook vor die reën dae wat ons nie kan werk nie.
Lekker van SOG is dat hy baie goed gebalanseerd is, en dan sy skerptheid behou vir lank.
Die een wat ek by die huis het kom van Iraq af, ek is baie heilig op die outjie en kap niks met hom. Ek het nie wapens nie en dit is my enigste lyn van verdediging as n skelm dit tot in my kamer sou kon maak wat ek hoop nooit gebeur nie. Ek weetnie of ek n man of n muis sal wees die dag as ek in n hoek gedruk is en net n Tomahawk in die hand het.
Ons het in n marine basis gewoon en ons Psd manne moes verpligte saam hulle skiet oefening doen, en dan ook opleiding (close combat) met handwapens - Tomahawks en mes. Dis waar ek geleer het van die kwaliteit van SOG waarby ek sweer vandag.

Pragtig, VA. Enige ou wat by julle inbreek gaan moer spyt wees. Jy kort net 'n ordentlike spies (stabbing type) om die hordes in die gang te takel. :biggrin:

Dink die CRTK chogan is vir my.
Ekstra handle vir sample om iets inheems te soek. Wat se hout sal goed werk? Seker iets hard maar wat kan flex? Amper soos sekere tipes kieries?
Hoe kry mens daair gesprayde kop meer natuurlik?
O bliksem dit gaan lekker wees..
Is dit die beste plek om by te koop? https://www.sharpedge.co.za/crkt-woods-chogan-t-hawk-axe-w-hammer

Keep in mind axes are used and have been used for a number of years already locally especially on farm attack's and that I have sadly witnessed in the EMS.
It would be interesting to see what they stir up >:(

Louis, vertel my bietjie meer van daai byltjie heel regs in jou foto. Hy praat met my.
Daai is my 2de byltjie wat ek gemaak en en een van my mooistes volgens my. Ek het ongelukkig geelhout handle gemaak en ek dink nie die handle is sterk genoeg gewees nie.
Ek het intussen die spesiefieke byl se kop gebruik om vir Nannie 'n kampbyltjie te maak. Sy besit hom nou en die byltjie het so effe 'n gedaanteverwisseling ondergaan. :biggrin:
So lyk hy nou. Ek gaan later, as ek mag, elke byl wat ek gemaak het se storie hier wys.

Ek hou van sy kop. Weet jy watse kop dit is? Lekker breed met baie hout/metaal oppervlak op kante. Die hamer gedeelte is ook lekker flush en staan nie te hoog nie. Like dit
Geen idee, het die koppe so gekry. Die een waarvan ons praat is die een heel bo regs.

Some of the tools needed, with a grinder or two. I even used the belt sander to help on certain curves. My latest addition is a belt grinder made by a friend on this forum. Sadly, since I got the belt grinder I did not have time to attempt another axe. :patch: :biggrin:

I took a snap of the little axe my FIL gave it to me a while ago. He had this forever and not sure where he got it from though I recall a story of him bringing back from Nam when he was on the border back in the day.

Most probs got it up north in the old Caprivi region. They use it there often for all sort of tasks. Was always looking for one and missed and opportunity to buy one, thinking I would get another one further on, no luck. Eventually got a similar one in Botswana.

Soek no1 driepoot, no 10 en 14 platboom. Ek sukkel maar met die proses. Weetie of ek dit regdoen nie. Aan die einde bak ek hulle in die oond met olie binne en buite.

You should put an axe up for auction every other day on the group I reckon you could retire on the money

Dan seker bietjie skuur vir die grinder merke? Dan net lekker olie?
As jy jou tyd vat gaan daar bitter min skuurmerke wees. Onthou dat 'n well worn disc beter werk.
Yes, as jy klaar gegrind het, gebruik skuurpapier en water. 100 grit, dan 200, dan 400, dan 800 of wat jy ookal het. Gebruik baie water, en skuur proggresief ligter.
Jy gaan moer baie leer met die eerste een. :thumleft:

@KiLRoy en @Operator ek het Jaco opgespoor. Gaan hom volgende naweek kuier, ons kan nie die naweek kuier nie. Sy woorde, "ek kan nie die naweek kuier nie, ek is op standby en kannie drink as ek kuiergaste kry nie." :biggrin: So lyk my ek is in vir 'n goeie kuier. :eek7:
Nee, die man gesels lekker en se hy sal olienhout vir my kry as hy nie het nie. Hy wil ook graag my byle sien. Smaak my ons gaan meer as 'n naweek kuier. Sal julle op hoogte hou as ek nog lewe na die naweek. :patch: :lol8:
Sê vir hom Bossie (dis nou ek) en Heinie Lorenzen (Dis nou Kilroy) stuur groete. :thumleft:
Neem foto's
Wonder of die ou nog pyp rook? :sip:
Hy het daai jare pyp gerook, toe al die laaities Chesterfiel gepull het :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:
Sal hom seg. soos ek verstaan gooi hy nog daai pyp. :biggrin:. :thumleft: :thumleft:

Lekker Louis.
Kan ek jou my spaar hawk handle stuur vir n sample vir hom? Soek min of meer dieselfde ding in olien....
Ek en sy broer Daniel is nog groot tjommas en praat soms op die HAM radio. Hy bly op Beaufort en is groot met electronics, vlieg en n biker. Hy is soos 2SD n 2stroke roadbike man.
Ons beplan n trippie iewers die jaar na Joggie toe.
Stuur hom, anders stuur net 'n kiekkie en mates min of meer en ons maak hom naby aan daai mates, dan vergeet jy jy is lui en maak hom klaar. :lol8:

Praat datums dan reel ek iets. Slaapplek ens, Joggie is om die draai va my. :thumleft:

Kyk gou post #114 - stel jy belang?
O so die ronde een op die angle grinder? Miskien eerder 240 as dit n nuwe disc is?
Stuur daai handle, ek sal die sample hier hou, moet in elk geval Hardy een van die dae sien. :thumleft:
Weettie of jy 'n 240grid flap disk kry nie. Ek sal jou more 'n foto stuur van wat jy moontlik ook kan gebruik om net daai mat look te kry en nie die gun blue gaan opsit nie. Dis basies 'n buffing disk wat jy op 'n bench grinder sit. Werk maklik vir julle lui mense en haal hardstallige roes maklik af van ou metaal. Werk soos 'n bom. :biggrin:

Om jou 'n idee gegee, die bylkop was net met daai buff skoongemaak.
1ste foto hoe hy gelyk het
die laaste twee nadat hy skoongemaak is op daai wiel. Jy kan nog verder skoonmaak maar ek hou van die finish.
Post by: Hardy de Kock on February 08, 2020, 06:54:00 am
Daai finish maak dat dit lyk of die byl reeds jare gebruik word.
Post by: Vis Arend on February 08, 2020, 07:02:34 am
Die een wiel is growwer as die ander een en word gebruik vir hardnekkige vuilgoed wat vassit, dan gaan jy oor na die fyner wiel.

Bench grinder - for rough grinding, cleaning, stripping polishing. Which one?

Then after payday - Tampan’ band grinder?
Thoughts?
Post by: Hardy de Kock on February 08, 2020, 10:26:06 am
Tx Hardy, will paint stripper work to remove the lacquer on the handle. Want to give it a boiled linseed finish
NNNNOOOOO - That turned into a sticky mess.
Sandpaper - start with a very rough grit and work your way up. Boiled linseed oil works really well. - Raw linseed oil turns the handle reddish which looks shitty

Hein - I tried the paint stripper method to remove the DLC coating of one of my stock tomahawks yesterday. I don't like it and I think it creates more of a mess than anything else.The grinder method works much easier and quicker. I cleaned it up and gave it an over-hit leather jacket with a leather wrap.This is the spike hawk and you will struggle to get a better close combat & self defense weapon. This one is a give away to any of the members who wants it. Keep in mind that you would have to pay for the courier costs to your address..Who wants it?

Ek dink daar is 3 of 4 van hulle. Ek laaik ook daai kleintjies. Weet nie of die stempels nog op is nie, gewoontlik is als toe van die roes en kom eers helder uit soos ek skoonmaak. Dis gewoontlik waar ek dan sentimenteel raak oor hulle. :eek7: :biggrin:

Many thanks for your generosity, Hardy.
After chatting to you, I now know what an over-hit is. I've damaged a few axe shafts with miss hits particularly when the arms tire.
Post by: KiLRoy on February 08, 2020, 07:24:23 pm
On second thought. Just buy the Tampan belt sander and go and visit Groenie for the head. Im after the milk, not the cow.
Bra Groen se ons moet die kop sandblast. Hy sal dit vir sy pel vat. Toe bring hy bier uit en ons raak aan die kak praat. So behalwe vir 3 messe se lanyards wat ek gevleg wonder ek waar die dag heen is want die bylkop is nogsteeds by my. Het darem skuurpapier, boiled linseed en flap disc gekoop.

Wat word gesien as 'n "super-steel" as dit kom by byl koppe?
Hardy sal beter weet maar sover ek weet word meeste byle gemaak van meduim na high carbon staal. Wat ek ook sien is dat nie die hele kop gehaet treat word nie maar net die lem gedeelte.
Soos ek werk met die ou byle sien ek dan ook dat die lem gedeelte die hardste gedeelte is, wat vir my se dis net daai gedeelte wat verhard is.

A beautifully wrapped spike hawk and to top it, Hardy offered to do a "Comanche" look with my initials nogal..
The photo doesn't do it justice.
Many thanks again, Hardy.

Hein - I tried the paint stripper method to remove the DLC coating of one of my stock tomahawks yesterday. I don't like it and I think it creates more of a mess than anything else.The grinder method works much easier and quicker. I cleaned it up and gave it an over-hit leather jacket with a leather wrap.This is the spike hawk and you will struggle to get a better close combat & self defense weapon. This one is a give away to any of the members who wants it. Keep in mind that you would have to pay for the courier costs to your address..Who wants it?
Visarend and Kilroy excluded of course
Me, me!
It's yours @frankmac

Louis, vertel ons van die ontmoeting. Gaan die man vir ons steeltjies maak?
Yip, die man ontmoet. Hy was eers so effe skamerig in die begin maar toe hy eers sien ek stel basies belang in dieselfde goed as hy, toe is die gort gaar. Moer nice gekuier en gesels en groot planne is gemaak. Hy bly net buite Keiroad om 'n klein plasie so 20hektaar. Het sy eie beeste, skape, bokke, varke, hoenners en die lot. Die ou se kennis is verstommend. Hy ken sy hout in rou en behandelde vorm. Sy kierries is asemrowend. Hy het 'n simpel lewe, geen komplikasies nie en doen omtrent als homself. Van sy eie seep tot eie botter, groente, you name it, hy sorg vir homself. Hy hou ook natuurlik van kosmaak en pekel sy eie vleis en maak bacon ens. Ek laaik die man kwaai, ons het goed ge-connect.
Hy het jou steeltjie gehou en gaan vir jou ene maak uit olienhout. Hy gaan dan ook nog hout verskaf wat ek dan kan gebruik vir stele, olienhout en nog ander hout soorte wat hy opgenoem het. Flippen mooi hout. Hy het my gevra om vir hom 'n byltjie te maak. Ek sal die week dit maak. Hy kuier hoeka die naweek by my plek, so weet nie of hy al dan jou steeltjie gaan bring nie. Sal by hom uitvind.
Hy stuur groete aan julle se mense en hy het my vertel van jou k@k toe jy jonger was. Ek moes hom egter reghelp en seg jy het nog nie verander nie, nog dieselfde Heinie. :eek7: :lol8: :lol8: En natuurlik laaik hy sy bier net soos jy van joune. Hy is nie skaam om sy dors te les nie. :biggrin:
O ja, hy se julle moet kom kuier, maar julle moet voor die tyd laat weet. Hy praat van voorbereidng van 'n spit ens, hy wil nie onkant betrap word nie. . :patch: :patch:
Amper vergeet ek, hy restroureer ou potte ook. hy was hoeka besig met een toe ek daar aankom.

Hy het my vertel van daai en die Johny Clegg musiek. Snaaks genoeg, hy het 'n besonderse uitdrukking op sy gesig gehad toe hy van die stories uit die verlede gepraat het, so al asof hy wil teruggaan na daai dae of baie verlang na daai dae.
Jy en Oppie verduidelik presies soos ek die man opgesom het. Ek is innig dankbaar julle het my op sy pad gesit. Ek kan voel ons gaan groot vrinne raak. Ons het rofweg 4 ure gekuier en toe ek en die vrou daar wegry het beide van ons gesê, die se mense is ons tipe mense.
Ek hou julle op hoogte van vordering en sal wanneer ek weer daar is kiekkies neem van sy kierries en versamelings. :thumleft:

Ek het klaar die Husky vir as ek meer gewig wil swaai. Hierdie outjie wil ek slegs gebruik vir "hewing", soos die Engelse sê. Kort kerf-kappe om 'n amper-haaks stomp in 'n skoon haaks balk te omskep.
Ek sien die Gibson is in 1095 staal maar die klein plat Gerber byltjies kom in 'n stainless van soort.
Is daar spesifieke staal opsies wat ek moet oorweeg as ek die stainless roete wil gaan?

Kry vir jou 'n klein byl kop en maak jouhandle volgens jou smaak. Die 1095 carbon steel is maar 'n algemene staal wat hulle op byle gebruik en daai is meer as goed genoeg vir daai size byl.
Hier is so klein kamp byltjie wat ek gemaak het, net die kop skoongemaak en skerp gemaak. Hy is lekker dun, klein en lig.
Met die stainless is ek nog effe dom.

Hardy, seker maar n hawk wat op die standaard steel sal werk. Joggie maak mos nou vir my n olienhout steel vlg die ekstra steel wat ek gekoop het. Maar na al my paracord wrapping gaan ek dit beslis nie afhaal om op die nuwe steel te sit nie. Eerder kyk vir n kop wat op die standaard steel pas. Kan mens dit los koop?

Post by: Vis Arend on February 17, 2020, 01:50:12 pm
No problem, I do have a few old axes I acquired recently. I picked one more and less the size he wants.
I will take you through the process, the way I do / did it. There is most probably other methods, but I found this to work the best for me.
1st Step is to get the shape he wants, more or less. I mark the shape on the metal with a perma marker.
Thereafter it is cutting time, with the small hand grinder and thin cutting disk. I cut the axe head into pieces and to the required shape, more or less. :patch: :biggrin: I also keep a bowl or bucket of water nearby, the material must not get to hot. Cut a piece and dip the material.
Once I'm done with the cutting, it is more grinding, this time with the grinding disk, those fat little ones. I grind aggressively all the rough pieces almost smooth and almost to shape. Now it's time for the flap disk, 40 grit. I use the flap disk to shape further until I am almost satisfied. This is just a further process to smooth all the in-perfections from the heavy grinding.
Then I use the belt grinder with a 100 grit belt. I shape the axe head to the dimensions and shape it must be. The belt grinder gets all the angles right and you have much more control over how much material is taken of. This machine is just magic. I also add whatever other shape I want to the axe head with the belt grinder.
I was happy with the shape and needed to get rid of the rust from the axe head. If it is heavy rust / dirt, I normally use a 40 grit flap disk to remove it. This axe was not to bad and I used the bench grinder with the heavy duty buffing disk / roller to clean the axe head. It cleaned the head perfectly and I liked the end results, so there was no need for the flap disk.
Now it was time to get the old look back. Here I use gun blue, smear it over the metal and let dry for a minute or so and then rinse with water. Now I use a fine grit sandpaper and sand most of the gun blue off, but only lightly so that the gun blue still stays behind in the grooves and so more.
Then I use some gun oil and smear the axe head with it and let it rest for a while.
The axe handle was left over piece from an old pick handle I used previously. I think it is Red Meranti. I shape the handle to fit the axe head, smooth it a bit and applied linseed oil to it.
I cut a wedge to size and fit the axe head to the handle, glue the wedge and moer it into place.
One axe made for Joggie, hope the man will like it.
Phodies to follow showing the process.
1 Shape marked
2 Remove old handle
3 Handle removed
4 Cut to shape
5 Cooling down
6 More shaping
7 Getting a smoother edge
8 Shape is almost there

Can you elaborate on fixing the axe head to the shaft please. I see a wooden wedge and wood glue.
I've always just hammered in some concrete nails :biggrin:

Wowza, thanks for sharing, VA.
Can you elaborate on fixing the axe head to the shaft please. I see a wooden wedge and wood glue.
I've always just hammered in some concrete nails :biggrin:
Ja, I also used to do that. There is different ways, but I find the wooden wedge to hold good.
At your handle tip, where the axe head will fit, cut a center groove the width off the axe head into the handle. I use a meat band saw, but you can use any saw for that matter. Make your wedge is the same wood as your handle or a harder wood. Glue it and hammer it into the groove once you fixed the axe head to the handle. Hammer slowly and you must glue it. You can hammer and once stuck leave a couple of minute and hammer again until it will not go any deeper. The glue helps as a lubrication and once dry it is almost there forever. Cut the excess wedge and wipe the glue that spilled. You good to go.
Other menthod is to hammer a metal piece in there, like a piece of flat iron cut to size, but I am not fond of it. It is almost the same a nails. :eek7: :lol8:
I made this axe and once I fitted the wedge, not waiting for it to dry or settle, I tested it by throwing it into a piece of wood to see if it works. It held up. :eek7:
:biggrin:
Hope it makes sense. :thumleft:

Daar is die link, dis eintlik vir 'n loopstok, maar het hom hier gebruik. Ek het gewone 550 paracord gebruik. Trek hom net met elke knoop moer styf, hy klou dat hy kak. Ek het hom probeer draai om die handle nadat ek klaar was, no go.
As jy bang is hy klou nie gebruik daai swart tape wat jy kry vir elektriese draad, daai een wat nie gom op het nie, hy is amper soos lap maar klou op homself. Draai hom eers onder op die rou handle dan die paracord bo dit, hy sal nooit gly nie.

Gister vir die eerste keer my hawk gebruik. Baie maklik sekelbos gekloof. Meestal one shot met min force. Lem is baie skerp. Ook so gewrig size takke van bome genoei. Hulle is nat en sukkel bietjie. So paar keer my grip verloor as ek bo my kop donner. Die strap het dan goed gewerk. Kon die brandewyn ook gewees het...

Miskien eendag die moeite werd om die maak proses met timelaps kamera af te neem.
Dit sal ons 10-duim manne dalk 'n beter idee gaan van die moeite en vakmanskap wat in so projek ingaan.
Thanks. :biggrin:
Goeie idee daai timelaps storie, sal net moet kyk hoe dit gedoen word. Dalk met my gopro?
ek is nie seker of GP die funksie het nie

@KiLRoy en @Operator ek het Jaco opgespoor. Gaan hom volgende naweek kuier, ons kan nie die naweek kuier nie. Sy woorde, "ek kan nie die naweek kuier nie, ek is op standby en kannie drink as ek kuiergaste kry nie." :biggrin: So lyk my ek is in vir 'n goeie kuier. :eek7:
Nee, die man gesels lekker en se hy sal olienhout vir my kry as hy nie het nie. Hy wil ook graag my byle sien. Smaak my ons gaan meer as 'n naweek kuier. Sal julle op hoogte hou as ek nog lewe na die naweek. :patch: :lol8:
Sê vir hom Bossie (dis nou ek) en Heinie Lorenzen (Dis nou Kilroy) stuur groete. :thumleft:
Neem foto's
Wonder of die ou nog pyp rook? :sip:
Hy het daai jare pyp gerook, toe al die laaities Chesterfiel gepull het :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:
Joggie stuur groete vir jou en Hein. .

Kieries wat ek by Joggie gekry het wat hy natuurlik self gemaak het met olienhout.
1ste foto wys die twee saam. Die een links is 'n loopstok, die een regs die knopkierie, m.a.w. die moerstok. :biggrin:
2de foto die knopkierie se kop
3 Die patroon op die knopkierie
4 Die loopstok se kop
5 Die loopstok se patroon.
Die swart is houtskool gemeng met uitgekookte, ongesoute, dierevet en dan aan die patroon gevryf. Die res van die kierie is ook met dierevet gesmeer.

I used one (not mine) once , boy that one was strong
expected the wood to crack after some serious chopping - but nothing , no chip marks either
would like to know what wood they typically use (for the handle) if anyone knows?

Post by: Tony the Boney on April 02, 2020, 08:24:53 am
I'm posting this just as a subject of interest.
Whether home made or factory produced at least 100 years ago, they all seem to measure 11 and a half inches across.
Specifically designed to work logs to create a straight edge or planks for your log home.
Largely used in Northern USA, Canada and Alaska.
The blade had a straight edge on one side and angled on the other.
The handle had to be angled away from the log to avoid injury to your hands and legs.
The handle design worked very well as it stopped you wrecking your knuckles.
The example I've shown in the photo is set up for a left handed person or left hand work and has been estimated to be about 120 years old.

BTW., the wood in the 1st picture is Black Cherry and the thinner log is Pin Cherry.

You get them up north west (Caprivi) Namibia and also Botswana. I have the smaller one that they use to make their mokoro's (dug out canoe) and then also the bigger one for chopping trees and the like. Blades are made from leaf springs yes.

Yes and even way more north; Puntland, Ethiopia and Turkana Kenya. It is a common tool in Africa.

The real thing, very nice. I find a Lansky Puck works very nice for sharpening axes. Now you need a Bahco bow saw with Bahco wet and dry wood blades.

I have had this tomahawk tool laying around for a number of years, rescued from some dump and wooden grip long gone. I think it was primarily a de-crating tool with an integral claw and hammer. Well it has been restored to its former glory, axe sharpened and new wild olive grip handle.

Did some wrapping and leather on the handle and the wife made me a beautiful sheath for both the Chogan and the Kangee Tomahawk. Pretty happy with both.
