Nice looking hawk. And, no, you wouldn't want to short change yourself on penetration.

Already have something, which I've carried for years, and never attracts any negative attention. You never hear of a geologist being mugged, now do ya?

The only things petrified with fear are already petrified.

Here are two tomahawks and one war club of mine... The top is a Hudson Bay camp axe , axe head is from the 1920's -30's...the handle is a replacement that I made.
The middle is a original Pipe axe of the 1850-1870's era. The bottom is a Osage Orange war club that I made.
After I find our scale ( we just moved ) I'll post the weights if anyone is interested.
Please note the original Pipe axe is light...due to the small brass head and hollow shaft. The handle / shaft is a replacement that I made.
I do not think that these were used as weapons or even as a everyday tool I think that they were status symbols and used to cut the tobacco for smoking. Andy

It is indeed a steel bit inserted in a brass head. The edge takes a sharpening readily and will cut and chop tobacco with ease.
I'll post some weights when I can for sure. Andy
