These superb tomahawks are precision drop forged from 1055 Carbon steel. Dropforging is, without doubt, the best method of manufacture for any impactweapon, particularly one with a cutting edge. During the forging process ametal ingot is heated almost white hot and then formed into shape in a seriesof progressive dies. The large steel dies are fixed to enormous compressed airhammers. Each die hammers the hot metal into a gradually more finished shape.The steel is kneaded and compressed into a completely homogenous mass makingthe grain structure uniform and minimizing gas pockets or other imperfectionsthat can ruin the construction of a hand forged hawk. This is why most goodaxes, hatchets, and hammers are drop forged. These hawks are differentiallyheat treated. This means that the cutting edge and hammer face is fullyhardened, while the balance is left relatively soft to absorb the shock ofstriking blows.
