Hi Tim, love the tomahawk predecessor. Beautifully done.

[@robsinclair1001]

The axe man cometh a deadly looking tool,a talented man you are Timothy!

[@KageStelhman]

That's a pretty nice Boarding Axe you've made there

[@maxfuller916]

Im a sucker for the forged look too great choice! Beautiful

[@jarlove]

Would love to win this! Super sweet!

[@hartlieb1]

The Predecessor Tomahawk build/design is really sweet. Hope you are considering putting it into production at some point! It is so cool!

[@hannes3040]

The wire brushed forge finish was defiantly the right choice, looks nice.

[@Jbrimbelibap]

Wire brushed is such a quick finish to get, yet looks so good ! All my stuff end up having that finish 😂

[@jimmyrk3]

Having fun is the best reason. The finish is sweet; you forged it, and it should look like it was forged. "Predecessor Tomahawk" is a great name.

[@Tristan_Attilio]

Your attention to detail when making this Tomahawk is incredible. The simplicity of the piece is incredibly satisfying and really shows your skills as a blacksmith.

[@hacksaw434]

That is pretty cool! And the name "Predecessor" has a pretty nice ring to it. As a history nerd, I'm also a sucker for the "As Forged" finish. Nice work as always.

[@driftpig31]

Sitting in my soon to be blacksmiths workshop, sorting through the boxes, just mounted the TV on the wall and started watching blacksmithing/knifemaking videos to set the scene in the shop! The Tomahawk would be so welcome here.

[@the_belschnikel5985]

This is how tomahawks should be. Understated power and elegance.

[@lindasmart5099]

I'm so amazed that you can see a tomahawk in that small piece of spring. Keep up the good work

[@cerberus1563]

Love your videos Tim. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@KLRFJR]

Love your work, learning a lot about what it means to just be yourself and make the work of your hands show who you are. Keep it up, my man!

[@GibsonCutlery]

This is a really beautiful piece. Perfect lines. Well done!

[@lendicicco7578]

Merry Christmas Timothy. Love the Predecessor Tomahawk. Beautiful work as always.

[@MikeStern1]

love this & love that you watch will too. That anvil castle tour was nuts. Merry Christmas Tim!

[@Zogg1281]

I love that tomahawk. All the lines just flow together really nicely and the polished blade and back are sweet!! 👍 Hope you have a great Christmas, Tim 😊👍👍👍👍👍
