The Exquisite Allure of Primal Wildness – The Indian Tomahawk!

The Indian tomahawk is an axe native to North America. Traditional tomahawks feature straight handles and were commonly used tools among Native Americans. They employed the Indian tomahawk as a close – combat or throwing weapon. Initially, the upper part of the Indian tomahawk was made of stone. Later, the design of the boarding axe of the British Royal Navy influenced the Indian tomahawk, leading to the emergence of iron – and brass – made versions. The handle of an Indian tomahawk typically measures no more than 0.61 meters in length, with a weight ranging from approximately 260 to 700 grams. The axe blade usually doesn’t exceed 4 inches. The axe head is long, slender, and sharp. This shape is designed to be more suitable for chopping.
