Nice kit. Nice Hawk. The pipe Hawk was used in peace negotiations because it demonstrates a level of trust when you hand your former enemy a weapon. If he smokes it, instead of killing you with it, it demonstrates his sincerity for peace. A win win.

😊 Thanks!

[@rawdio.docdar5715]

So either kill the host after he hands you this pipe-a-hawk or smoke with him,😂, dumb ars,

[@chriscarpenter317]

My favorite native American weapon!

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Mine too!

@@polydactylproductions6787 Is the axe head hardened when you buy it? How well does it hold an edge?

[@llllogix]

Hey Jay! Sending regards from nyc. Hope you're well, brotha.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Thanks man! Stay warm out there!

[@WolfEscobedo]

Excellent video, could you share the technical manual?? I would put some pewter on some tomahwks ✌🙂

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Thanks! The manual came with the kit from Track of the Wolf. I think pewter on hawks is cool but it wasn't the look I was going for and I am just not skilled enough to work with molten metal.

[@bhaktapeter3501]

i got one from track of the wolf also, it is slightly different looking then yours, albeit still quite nice.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

They are a good company.

[@mahamudha9003]

if you could do a full video on how you prepared the color on the handle i would be very much thankful

[@polydactylproductions6787]

The wood is curly maple. When you scorch it with fire it brings out the striped patterns like that. It's a great wood.

[@mahamudha9003]

thank you @@polydactylproductions6787

[@polydactylproductions6787]

@mahamudha9003 you are quite welcome Sir.

[@mahamudha9003]

Question, what did you use to toast it? Blow torch? Torch type lighter? Heat gun? Candle? I am about to toast my handle and am thinking what would give me the best result.....? Maybe i am over-thinking the process because all fire toasts the wood the same? I am not sure.... Thank you!@@polydactylproductions6787

[@kevinschwinkendorf3202]

Share your favorite tobacco? Ganja would be more like it!

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Captain Black cherry 🍒 flavor.

[@mahamudha9003]

Question, 1:15 here. WHen i am hardening the handle with fire like that, did you wet the wood first or put any oil or are you putting the raw sanded unfinished wood to the fire? I just put dry and sanded wood to the fire like that? I just wanted to make sure that theres isnt anything i am missing. Thank you.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

I carefully toasted the wood, then sandws it smooth. After that I oiled it with boiled linseed oil.

[@mahamudha9003]

ok thanks, thats what i will try then.@@polydactylproductions6787

Very good. Congratulations. Beautiful Tomahawk. I just saw it on Bladeforums. Greetings from the south of Brazil.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Hello. I hope to visit Brazil someday

[@nimitz1739]

That’s pretty cool but once I looked them up it cost $96 before tax. For that much it should already put together. IMO

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Anyone can buy one from Amazon. Sometimes building it yourself and making it really yours is the experience you want.

[@nimitz1739]

@@polydactylproductions6787 I understand that part. Yours turned out great. I was just saying since you have to put it together you would think it wouldn’t be so expensive. After taxes it’s 100 bucks.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

@nimitz1739 ahh. Now I gotcha. Yeah they could lower the prices a bit but they are a small scale operation.

[@angelbartlett5012]

​@nimitz1739 in my opinion 100$ for that is a pretty damn nice deal

[@mr31337]

will this give me cancer?

[@polydactylproductions6787]

The Hawk won't. You can take your chances with the tobacco.

[@midwest7176]

No, but in the wrong hands it can give you a splitting headache!

[@polydactylproductions6787]

LOL@@midwest7176

[@mahamudha9003]

Oh one more question. SHould i toast the handle before i do the final fitting for the head, or fit the head perfect, then take it off and then toast the handle? I am thinking heating the handle might make the size change thus affecting the fit of the wood to the metal axe head.

[@polydactylproductions6787]

Roast it and sand first. It does shrink but you should still have plenty of material left to fit it properly.
