Gransfors Tomahawk<\/h1>\n

The Gransfors Tomhawk is part of\u00a0\u00a0Historiska Yxor<\/span><\/i> line of limited edition historical axes. There are more pictures on their website as well as the specifications and information (in Swedish). <\/span><\/p>\n

I have partly translated the information provided on the Swedish version of the Gransfors Bruk website using google and interpreted and elaborated on based on my knowledge of axes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tomahawk has become closing associated with certain tribes in the American’s during the 16th century. It is considered a throwing weapon, although more often it would have been used as a sidearm and tool.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

According to etymonline.com<\/a>\u00a0tomahawk dates back to 1610 from the Virginian\u00a0Algonquian word<\/span>\u00a0tamahaac <\/em>from the word\u00a0tamaham<\/span><\/em>\u00a0meaning “he cuts”.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Gransfors Tomahawk<\/h2>\n

The design is based off of a French Trade ax from the 1600s. Europeans would trade these axes to the indigenous people of the Americans (sometimes called First Peoples, Indians, Native Americans, Pre-Columbian Civilizations, or American Indians) in exchange for guidance, leather, and other goods and services.<\/p>\n

The sheath (axe mask if you like) looks to be of a higher quality even than those included with Gransfors Bruk’s other axes. It features stitches rather than rivets and the edges are cleaner.<\/p>\n

These hatchets are forged by\u00a0Sam Ritter.<\/span><\/p>\n
