Tomahawk Axe-Handmade High Carbon Damascus Steel

A hand-forged Damascus tomahawk-style axe with a 4" Damascus steel head on an 18" wooden haft, supplied with a fitted leather sheath. A collector's display piece — forged, not machined — in the historical proportions of the frontier original.

Specifications

• Overall length: 18"
• Head: 4", pattern-welded Damascus
• Steel: 1095 high-carbon and carbon steels (#40, #43)
• Hardness: 55–56 HRC
• Haft: Wood
• Included: Fitted leather sheath

The Damascus

The head is forged from a billet of eleven steel pieces — six layers of carbon steel and five of 1095 — folded five times to reach 352 layers. The folding gives the head its flowing pattern, and because the pattern is forged into the steel rather than etched onto the surface, it runs the full depth of the head. Every billet is worked by hand, so no two pieces carry the same figure.

A display piece with real craft behind it

This is a decorative, collectible axe: the historical tomahawk silhouette — a 4" edge on a haft under two feet — rendered in genuine folded Damascus. It hangs on a wall mount or sits on a stand, and the leather sheath dresses the head when displayed edge-down. Collectors pair it with our other Damascus pieces, and it makes a striking gift for anyone drawn to frontier history or hand-forged steel.

Intended for display and collection, not for use.

Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.

In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.

Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.

Once an item ships, delivery time depends on the shipping method, carrier, and destination. If you need an item by a specific date, contact us before ordering so we can confirm whether the timeline is realistic.

In-stock items with no customizations can be returned free within 30 days, as long as they show no signs of use. Returns are handled through our return center.

Items that have any customization (such as engraving or etching) or that show signs of use cannot be returned. Custom and made-to-order items are produced specifically for your order and are not eligible for return.

If your item arrives damaged, incorrect, or defective, contact us with your order number and photos so we can review the issue.
