I have a ww2 raf fireman’s Hatchet, it is an absolute beast, it looks as if it was made only a few years ago and it has a revolutionary design with a special rubber handle that means you can chop through power lines up to 20k volts, and in the hand it just goes clean through anything you put in it’s way, my dad got locked in a room in our house once because the lock broke and wouldn’t open again, he had to chop his way out and it chopped through nails and the metal of the door handle with ease although it took a small bit of damage from chopping through brass 😁. If you can get your hands on one I’d recommend it, they’re hard to find but really cool, the axe is called a chillington arpax

Pity that friction fit didn’t hold up because that was a beautiful set.

[@duncansq47]

It's a real shame cus there supposed to slide of traditionally. So that you can use the head as a hand tool. And also re half it easy in the feild qhen it breaks from throwing. They just had to to tap it on its end after the throw to tighten it back up before the next test

[@chadsims44]

Duncan SQ Exactly!!

[@Lilith-Rose]

@@duncansq47 yes precisely, a couple of taps on the anvil would have put that back right and tight, you want it so that if you hit the butt of the handle on a hard surface the head slips loose so that you can quickly and easily pack it down. There's no way the heads coming off the top end like you'd risk with a wedge fit unless the whole handle breaks but if that happens you just use the head to knock out a new handle from the closest branch in literally no more than five minutes and you're away

[@jasmineirwin7166]

Yup speaking from experience even if you get the head fitted up tight at first. The wood will wear a little bit over time and then become loss. Also if the eye isn’t forged properly with a nice taper it can cause problems too. Must be why you see them with raw hide or cordage wrapped around the head to keep everything it place. If this guy did something like that it might have saved him. But Then they probably would have complained about it for some reason.

[@demmerdumanat196]

The iconic weapon the Tamahawk and Bowie from the movie of Mel Gibson"The Patriot"

[@danhaywood5696]

A friction fit head taper is how tomahawks are properly made. If it slides down, then you must bang the handle top into the floor to reseat it. I use tree's. With excessive blade flare it cannot be banged into flat surfaces for reseating as the blade's upper point with stab into the floor and or be damaged. A movable head allows Mineral Oiling of the handle under the head, for longevity. Installing pins, or set screws just causes breakage and failures everytime. In order to keep the head seated and movable, a Constrictor Knot must be hitched onto the Hickory handle using Marlingspikes, far enough down to move the head enough to oil under it. To secure the head from sliding down, a heavy leather compression collar must be laced on tight between the Constrictor Knot and the tomahawk head. Constrictor knots serve as powerful grip stations as well, wet or dry. They can also serve as the anchor of a lanyard if desired.

[@ricardobernardo3095]

I love Forged in Fire because of the fairplay and the lack of drama from contestants and jury...although the format is similar to a ton of other programs, it beats them by being pratical and fair with no nonsense like masterchef and other idiotic shows

[@michaelhguy]

Not sure if I’d trust a friction fit with how brutal these judges can be with testing.

[@FriedelH8sEmos]

Tough decision to make, but his friction fit is how it was done historically. I wouldn't have docked him points for it.

[@pennsyltuckyreb9800]

These are historically friction fitted so you can easily remove the head to use it as other tools or easily replace a broken handle. I wouldn't have docked points either for the slip. All that was needed to quickly fix it was turn the hawk upside down and pound the handle into a stump really hard to reset the head where it wouldn't budge. It looks like his handle had a bit of a shelf going on at the end which is a bad idea for friction fitting. Needs to be a smooth flare outward towards the top where the eye of the head will lock into the wood without coming loose.

[@brianstrachan3451]

It's kinda crazy how realistic the ballistic dummy are...

[@dwightehowell8179]

If you turn the hawk upside down and hit the handle on the ground it will tighten up, not a problem. Of course in most cases just using it will tighten the handle up.

Hawk n Bowie: an ideal edged weapon pair

[@el.martin_10]

"What's up doc" Classic

[@davidwood1923]

Wow!... Both Guys did a Great Job. Thanks for Sharing

[@pakmeiman]

Have to disagree with the judges choice on this one. This bowie's were comparable but the losing tomahawk should have won. A traditional tomahawk is also a Bushcraft tool. The head is made to come loose from the handle to be used by itself. If it's loose you just tap it back on. The winning tomahawk was too light to do a good job splitting wood and the handle was crooked offsetting the head.

[@I_am_ENSanity]

My favorite dual weapon combo!

[@dernachtschreck830]

When you finish Desperados 3 a week earlier and always wondered, how throwable a Bowie is...well, thanks Dave.

[@laughterclub047]

I love that he says it will kill

[@adamg7984]

It's funny, I have a hammer from when I was a carpenter and it's just a friction fit. I just drove a few small nails into the top to tighten it up lol that's what I would have done if I were in that smith's shoes knowing how easily friction fits come loose early on. It usually takes a little use, they come loose, you tighten it up some how and then they usually won't come loose again for a long time. But you almost need something to drive some extra space out in the wood because there always seems to be some shrink or wear that makes the initial fit almost never hold.

[@Watchandcutgearchannel]

[@forcesightknight]

It's really not an authentic tomahawk unless it's made out of a rail road spike. My grandfather told me that when the RR moved west, the native Americans would pill out the spikes and use them for arrow heads, tomahawks and knifes. If making a set I would really like to see what can be made from 2 spikes. I would think an ax, knife, and several arrow head should be doable.

[@jonruby1755]

[@timothyarnold5419]

You don't want to use railroad spikes for competition blades. Back then that's really all they had available but rail road spikes aren't made of good quality metal. Just basic iron

"compression fit shouldn't become loose when using the weapon" I just wanna say that for the abuse it went through... A little slide off is just operator error. Its what we call a "friction fit".. You need to swing powerfully in order to keep the blade wedged away from your hand...

One hit with the end of the wooden pole on the ground and the head is tight again. But.. I do think the friction fit of that particular one shoud be adjusted a little better by sanding the wood till the fit is tighter. This chop shouldn't let the head go loose so easliy.
