COLD STEEL NORSE TOMAHAWK

During the 10 th century, the long ships of Viking raiders were an all too familiar and dreaded sight. Ranging as far north as Russia and as far east as Constantinople, the Vikings wielded their terrible , fearsome battle ax. This weapon was brutally effective in close combat, capable of delivering devastating blows, shattering shields and literally "disarming" an adversary.

The influence of the Viking weapon indeed far out-lasted the reign of terror of the Vikings themselves. Its sleek lines and brute strength may be seen today in axes, hatchets and tomahawks.

Nobody has captured the Viking spirit and produced a weapon so true to its origins as Cold Steel. The Norse Hawk is drop forged out of incredibly strong 5150 steel guaranteed against breakage. Its 4" blade is designed with the cutting edge highly curved to facilitate deep, slashing cuts and terminates in two sharp points which are useful in hand-to-hand combat. The bottom point may be used to capture an opponent's shield, leg, arm, shoulder or neck, momentarily immobilizing him or bringing him closer so that he may be dealt with easier. The top point may be used to execute quick, direct chops or with a thrusting motion to pierce or gouge. It also increases the chance of a stick when the Norse Hawk is thrown, even with a slight over rotation.

Lightweight and very effective, the Norse Hawk is easily wielded by men and women of all sizes and ages. Its sturdy, straight grained hickory handle provides long, durable service. As a weapon, the Norse Hawk is like its ancient Viking ancestors, merciless.

Above all, the Norse Hawk can also be used as a useful tool, for everyday cutting and chopping chores.

These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from medium carbon 5150 steel. 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 with hundreds of tons of power behind every strike. Each die hammers the hot metal into a gradually more finished shape. During this forming process the steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogenous mass. And this, in turn, makes it extremely tough and strong.

Like all good tomahawks, these are differentially heat treated. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fully hardened, while the balance of the head is left relatively soft to absorb the shock of striking blows. These tomahawks are made under contract with one of the largest hand tool makers in the world.
