Skinner Tomahawk

When I designed the Skinner Tomahawk I was thinking of a tool that could be used while backpack hunting for elk. I wanted something that could serve as a skinner as well a hatchet and this is why the blade is ulu shaped. I made one like that in the picture (but not the same one) for myself and it worked out very well and I was successful in taking both an elk and nice buck. Even though it wasn't used for skinning (sure it would've work well) it really excelled in breaking through bone and taking the rack off the skull. To keep the backpack weight down we didn't take a stove (seemed like a good idea at the time) and depended on fires for cooking which worked pretty good until a storm soaked everything. The Skinner Hawk did a great job splitting up wood and get in at the dry stuff to get a good fire going making fire starting much easier. A large knife would have also worked but the hawk easily out performs a knife.
The Skinner Hawk is intended to have an old but well taken care of look with a primitive attachment, like something someone made for themselves in 1700's. The bit is forged from 1095 and the hand is Koa wood and the combination weights about the same a light Bowie.
