Diamond Spontoon Hawk

Spontoon Hawks

While most tomahawks are chopping tools, there was a less popular alternative known as a spontoon hawk. Made with a blade expressly designed for piercing, it was capable of delivering deep puncture wounds that were quite lethal. Often found with a sloping or diamond shaped point and sharpened on both sides, the spontoon hawk offered little to no utility value but was undeniable a fearsome and brutally effective weapon. Today, modern made spontoon hawks are extremely rare (outside of the cheapest quality imports), so Cold Steel® decided to remedy the situation with own models. Available in faux pipe hawk style, they feature classic sloping and diamond shaped blades that can be fully sharpened!

1055 High Carbon Steel

The carbon content and lean alloy of this shallow hardening steel make this a very sturdy material that avoids a lot of the brittleness commonly associated with higher carbon materials. Particularly suited to blades requiring impact resistance, it's often seen in large fixed blades and swords.
