Heavy
forged steel spike tomahawk. The stout spike
and blade are filed and a
floral acid-etching decorates each side of the
blade. A brass cap with spike
is secured to the grip with brass screws. The
upper portion of the hickory
handle is wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather,
wet-molded and stitched with
waxed thread, and decorated with brass tacks
and a scalplock drop. The
handle butt is carved into the likeness of a
duck, with brass eyes. This is
a serious weapon.
The spike is 4", the
blade 3", and
the overall length of the head is 9".
The hawk is 20" long.
