ReconRat Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) wth, that's crazy...Here's tomahawks:http://www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerce/prodlist.jsp?Mode=Text&Brand=&CatalogName=&PriceStart=&PriceEnd=&Feature=&Cat=&SearchText=tomahawk&filter=false&range=1&list=48Especially the Cold Steel, SOG, and even the Colt.As if any one would afford the BenchMade.Which is of course, really really well made.edit: Part of the deal is that in certain parts of the world, the local culture doesn't respect a warrior that doesn't have a big blade or sword. The tomahawk fills that need. It's very impressive to other cultures that have never seen anything like it. It became very popular in Vietnam.

Tpoppa Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Tomahawks are highly tactical for close combat. I've spoken to some ex military poeple about some lightweight carbon fiber versions before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 If the military would issue our troops with a real blade like they used to and not that silly little thing they have these days.They wouldn't need tomahawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 The modern bayonet fits nicely on my M590A1, and silly or not, it is quite lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beegreenstrings Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I've had one for years... I like it a hell of a lot better than a bayonet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
