Spontoon Hawk with Sloping Blade
Drop Forged Tomahawks
The high-quality Cold Steel® tomahawks are precision drop-forged from 1055 carbon steel. In the manufacture of striking tools, especially those fitted with a cutting edge, drop forging offers many clear advantages. With the help of several dies (hollow moulds/matrices) connected to enormous forging hammers, the steel is formed step by step into a completely homogeneous mass and pressed under impact to achieve a uniform grain flow and to minimise the formation of defects. All Cold Steel® tomahawks have also been differentially hardened: the cutting edge and the striking face of the hammer are fully hardened so that they can be ground sharp, while the rest of the head is kept softer to absorb shock and impact.

Spontoon Hawks
Although most tomahawks were designed as chopping or splitting tools, there was also a less common variant, the spontoon tomahawk (Spontoon Hawk). Its blade, explicitly designed for thrusting, could cause stab wounds that were often fatal. This war hatchet usually had either a diamond-shaped blade or a blade sloping towards the point, sharpened on both sides. It was thus almost worthless as an everyday utility tool, but as a weapon probably fearsome and cruelly effective. As modern Spontoon Hawks are extremely rare nowadays (apart from inferior imports), Cold Steel® decided to remedy this shortcoming. The new models are available in the classic sloping (sloping) or diamond-shaped (diamond) blade. They can be fully sharpened and are fitted with a hammer head that imitates the look of the pipe bowl of a traditional pipe tomahawk.
1055 Carbon Steel
The carbon content and the relatively low proportions of other elements in this steel make it a very stable material that is free from the brittleness inherent in most steels with a higher carbon content. This steel is excellently suited to blades that need to offer high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed blade knives, machetes and swords.
