Description

CS90FH: 90FH Frontier Hawk

Cold Steel

Suitable for re-enactors from any period stretching from the French and Indian War clear up to the final settling of the West in the late 1800s. The authentic, good looking Frontier Hawk is one tough customer you're sure to appreciate. This light weight Hawk is a joy to use too as it reduces wrist, elbow and shoulder strain without sacrificing anything in chopping power or ease of handling. The merits of its light weight are revealed in combat too because the Frontier Hawk can be used at light speed from any angle and immediately recovered!

Drop Forged Tomahawks

These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from 1055 carbon steel. Drop forging is, without doubt, 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.

These hawks are good throwers with some experierience.
The frontier style throwing hawk is made so the iron blade friction fits on a 19"hickory handle by tapping the top of the hawk on a hard surface so blade ring bites into wood handle wider at the topfor tight friction fit as long as handle holds blade tight with about an inch or so remaining above locked steel blade. Eventually a new hickory handle is required. Will Take100s of throws. Can stick hawk 3-4 times before tapping down on a rock oranything hard so forged blade will work up tight on larger top end of hickory handle to lock blade Solid for next throws. I keep blade real sharp for sticking but only use for splitting small fire wood kindling it's main use is a sharp sticking weapon for throwing. Always sticks from right distance. To far away & you'll hit target on top end of wood handle above the blade. & if standing too close the bottom end of handle will hit before blade sticks. If blade is sharp and distance is perfect I can stick my hawk 10 times in a row. It's not a firewood tool but as a frontier era war hawk used correctly "it can kill".

Pros: Construction, Balance, Head Material

Good throwing hawk at right distance. Own several C.S. products
I've used these for decades. The steel blade is friction fit on hickory handle. I'll stick them for hours and pound the handle against hard surface to lock the blade tight on handle 2 or 3 times before every throw until need new hickory handle which is larger at top for the blade to be a snug tight fit. They stick about every time. Try throwing from twice the one revolution distance and stick hawk. 👍
