Tomahawk Hatchet – 17” 1095 Carbon Steel Throwing Axe
Built with a distinctive combination of traditional tomahawk styling and modern handle materials, this 17-inch Tomahawk Hatchet features a rugged 1095 high carbon steel head, an approximately 7.5-inch cutting edge, and a striking turquoise epoxy resin handle.
The design immediately stands apart from ordinary hatchets. Its broad curved cutting edge, forged-texture steel surface, rear projections, circular head opening, and exposed full-length steel construction create an unmistakable handcrafted appearance. The bright turquoise resin handle provides a bold contrast against the darker carbon steel.
Designed as a fully functional tomahawk-style axe, this piece is suitable for appropriate outdoor use while also offering the distinctive styling sought by collectors and tomahawk enthusiasts.
1095 High Carbon Steel Construction
The primary construction uses 1095 high carbon steel, a well-known carbon steel valued for its combination of toughness and ability to take a keen working edge when properly heat treated.
The steel is hardened to approximately 48–54 HRC, giving this tomahawk a practical balance of toughness and edge performance.
The broad approximately 7.5-inch cutting edge receives a polished finish that contrasts beautifully with the darker forged-texture body of the axe.
Because 1095 is a high-carbon steel rather than stainless steel, routine maintenance is important. Keeping the steel clean and dry and periodically applying a suitable protective oil can help prevent surface corrosion.
17-Inch Tomahawk Profile
With an overall length of approximately 17 inches, this design provides a substantial gripping area while remaining considerably more compact than a full-length axe.
The proportions give the tomahawk a distinctive silhouette and make it an interesting addition to an outdoor gear or handcrafted axe collection.

Turquoise Epoxy Resin Handle
One of the biggest visual selling points is the epoxy resin handle.
Bright turquoise resin scales run along the gripping section, incorporating contrasting dark accents and small pin details. Against the rugged steel, the resin creates a contemporary custom-made appearance.
The curved lower portion helps establish the recognizable profile of the handle, while the exposed steel at the end incorporates a large circular opening.
The combination makes this an excellent choice for customers who want a tomahawk that looks noticeably different from conventional wood-handled models.
Handcrafted Character
This isn't styled like an ordinary hardware-store hatchet.
From the forged-looking steel texture to the polished cutting edge and individually patterned resin handle, the design emphasizes a custom handcrafted appearance.
Minor variations in resin pattern, steel texture and handcrafted finishing may naturally occur, helping give individual pieces their own character.
Leather Belt Sheath Included
A leather belt sheath is included with the tomahawk.
The sheath provides protection for the cutting edge during appropriate storage and transportation while adding another traditional handcrafted material to the package.
Custom Engraving Available
Custom engraving is also available for customers looking for a personalized tomahawk.
Depending on the requested design and available space, engraving can be added to suitable areas of the steel axe head or handle-end area.
Names, initials, dates or suitable custom designs can be requested, making this an attractive personalized gift for an outdoor enthusiast, collector, camper or tomahawk fan.
Fully Functional Design
This model is sold as a fully functional tomahawk-style hatchet rather than solely as a display piece.
As with any functional axe, use it only for appropriate activities and inspect the head, handle and edge before use. Throwing can subject an axe to unusually high impact forces, so suitability for repeated throwing should depend on the specific construction and intended use of the finished piece.
