War Hawk - Polypropylene
The War Hawk combines the tactical styling and material used in their Cold Steel’s Trench Hawk with historically inspired design elements from classic fighting hand-axes of old. With its wide “bearded” axe head and curved reinforced reverse tanto style spike it is a thoroughly modern fighting hawk and breaching tool – Capable of cutting or smashing through virtually any obstacle.
Drop forged from 1055 carbon steel and expertly differentially hardened, the head of the War Hawk will withstand tremendous blows as well as the awful stress of prolonged use. The handle is also highly resistant to shock and impact and will withstand abuse that would easily break even a tough hickory handle. And, as an added benefit, is easily and cheaply replaced when finally worn out or broken from repeated throwing. Finally, to help protect its owner from its cutting edge and sharp spike, it comes with a patented innovative articulated Secure-Ex sheath.
These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from 1055 carbon steel. Drop forging is the best method of manufacture for any impact weapon, particularly one with a cutting edge. During the forging process a metal ingot is heated almost white hot and then formed into shape in a series of progressive dies. The large steel dies are fixed to enormous compressed air hammers. Each die hammers the hot metal into a gradually more finished shape. The steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogeneous mass making the grain structure uniform and minimizing gas pockets or other imperfections that can ruin the construction of a hand forged hawk. This is why most good axes, hatchets and hammers are drop forged. These hawks are differentially heat treated. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fully hardened, while the balance is left relatively soft to absorb the shock of striking blows.
