Man-in-the-Moon Pipe Tomahawk One of a Kind In Stock Ready To Ship
This highly decorated one-of-a-kind tomahawk is based on existing 18th century examples (though it is not a copy of any specific tomahawk).
This tomahawk features a hand-forged real-wrought-iron head with a center laminated high-carbon steel edge and a forge brazed bowl.
The head is file-sculpted, polished, engraved and inlaid with sterling silver leaves on the obverse and a man-in-the-moon motif on the reverse. It has been lightly etched/antiqued to show off the grain of the iron.
It is hung on a drilled curly sugar-maple handle accented with a sterling silver ‘wedding band’ mouthpiece and crowned with a sterling silver cap with a carved moose antler cleanout plug.
Despite being primarily intended for display (tomahawks like this were often presented to Indigenous leaders as diplomatic gifts) it is fully functional as both a hatchet and smoking pipe.
