Gen 7 Bone Hawk (Hand Forged High Roller Edition)

Now world renowned for making the strongest and sharpest tomahawks, Greg started planning and designing the first Bone Hawk circa early 2013.

The 100% hand forged Gen 7 Bone Hawk is the first ever full tang, dual handle bi-steel design tomahawk that allows for use in both extreme close quarters, and as a mid-range CQB tool. Although the Bone Hawk was originally designed for modern operators, it features a vast array of potential applications due to its superior design that make it an extremely viable tool for more than just the tactical professional. Unique design features include but are not limited to: the upper handle facilitating a strong choke grip for extreme close quarters engagements, the un-sharpened beard for hooking and trapping movements, the extended and ribbed pry-bar pommel also to be used for trapping techniques/joint manipulation, and the arc of the rear tanto spike that mimics the arc of a natural human swing for maximum penetration on impact (as well as easy removal for repeated strikes).

The solid, mild steel handle shaft is mated with high performance 5160 at the head and pry bar. At approximately 3/8" thick, this bi-steel construction process makes the Gen 7 Bone Hawk virtually unbreakable. Our tomahawks are by far the strongest tomahawks on the market today, and still the only tomahawks we know of made in this manner. The mild steel shaft gives them excellent handle spring and flexibility, while the working impact sections (head and tail) feature extreme hardness, toughness, and durability. This means the hawk won’t transfer energy into one's hand when striking hard objects, thereby minimizing hand injuries, and limiting loss of the tool.

The best tool in a combat situation is the one that is immediately available, so we made sure the Bone Hawk is small enough for an operator to carry on their person. The thermoplastic sheath has eyelets in which we've attached a secondary retention system of paracord and a quick release buckle, making it a "jumpable" system (for missions requiring aircraft insertions). Aside from being tie-down points and anchor points, the host of 1/4" eyelets surrounding the sheath can be used to attach nearly any aftermarket clip, hook, or loop system desired. Greg recommends using Thomas & Betts Ty-Rap high performance UV rated cable ties with steel inserts to quickly and easily affix the sheath system to your kit. The sheath and hawk are also designed so that the hawk can be used as a compliance tool while the sheath is still attached. Our hand-made leather drop-leg belt sheathes are also available for separate purchase.

The handle on this "High Roller" edition is made from tough and beautiful cloud forest Rosewood that Greg sources himself searching the jungles of Central America for fallen trees. He does this because when you buy precious hardwood in the US it’s often both illegally sourced and mislabeled. He loads up one of his expedition vehicles and goes into some of the most remote regions on earth, often for weeks at a time, to search for the exotic hardwoods you can find finely crafted into these luxury handle slabs... allowing you to buy with the confidence of knowing you’re getting what you pay for while supporting the sustainability of our forests. The color of the hawk itself is a faux 24k gold polymer resin. The hardwood handles are affixed with both 5-ton epoxy and brass rivets, a combination of artistic beauty and overbuilt toughness that will last for generations to come.

Our tomahawks can puncture hard objects like steel doors, heavy glass windows, and Kevlar armor with the rear spike. The cutting edge of the Hawk comes shaving sharp. The rear spike was designed for contact with hard objects like metal, and the face for use on softer materials.

Aside from being devastating to organic mediums, the face of the Bone Hawk is of a traditional curved design that can handle bushcraft chores with ease. It excels at chopping and can even be used to whittle and create fine shavings in a choked-up grip. The rear spike and the pry bar pommel make our hawk a surprisingly effective breaching tool.

Our polymer resin coatings are absolutely the best final finishes available for hard use steel and make our hawks almost completely impervious to rust and corrosion while reducing surface friction to increase cutting and penetration ability. We recommend keeping the cutting edge clean and well-oiled to prevent surface oxidation, as is the same with all quality blades. Every fully custom Bone Tactical edged weapon is a beautiful, hand-finished, collector quality piece that can be passed down through generations as an heirloom yet is still very capable of hard use. Since our edged tools are completely custom, no two blades are the same.
