How to Forge a Frontier Style Tomahawk

I had the opportunity spend a day in Bruce Evans’ knife shop, and I watched as he forged out a spike tomahawk from a round bar of 5160 spring steel. I was so impressed with the process that I wanted to go back and document him as he forged out another one. This time I took my mini-dv camera with me, and as a result, I was able to produce this DVD.

See bladesmith Bruce Evans as he demonstrates how to make a frontier style tomahawk. You will get to watch Bruce from the first blow of the hammer to the final oiling of the finished hawk.

The DVD covers:

* Forging the tomahawk head from a round bar of steel

* Cleaning up the tomahawk head on the grinder

* How to make your own hawk handle from a piece of wood

* And how to finish and dress up the tomahawk
