Matched pair of 18" Wreckers

These were commissioned by a fellow for himself and his buddy.  Everyone needs a friend like that.  :)

Unless this is a dueling set.  Hmmmm...      





18" Wrecker models, in black, unsharpened inner beards.  



And the Kydex to go with them.  Double-adjustable, quick-detach shoulder slings for carry.

I feel like I need something like this on a T-shirt.  :D

Handful of tomahawks

This is part of the previous batch that went out to customers.

The 12" Wrecker with sharpened inner beard in olive drab has been popular so far, but some of the future batches will lean more on some of the other options.


 
18" desert Wrecker, sharpened inner beard, bare sheath.

 
 
18" Woodsman with sharpened inner beard.  Black with olive drab Micarta, double retention straps on the sheath.

 
 
And a naked 18" War Chief with sharpened inner beard, in black.  Naked, you ask?  Ain't got no pants!  :D

Marine's Woodsman 'hawk

It took a while to get there, but the Marine stationed in Okinawa who ordered it finally got in the Woodsman 'hawk I shipped before Christmas.  :)

12", desert, sharpened inner beard.  1/4" 4140 steel, canvas Micarta, and flared stainless steel tube rivets.



He also got a bare Kydex sheath with it.



Here's hoping it serves him well!

Woodsman 'hawk with sheath

This is the first piece of mine to make it up to Alaska.  12" Woodsman (hammer poll) model, unsharpened inner beard, black Durabake and natural tan canvas Micarta.  1/4" 4140 steel, flared stainless steel tube rivets.



The customer ordered a sheath with the shoulder sling, double adjustable and quick-detachable.

Wrecker 'hawk with bare sheath

This one went out to the customer a few days ago.  18" Wrecker model with pry spike, sharpened inner beard, black Durabake and Micarta.  1/4" 4140 steel.


He plans to have a buddy build a leather sheath for it, but went ahead and got a Kydex one without carry options for the meantime.

War Chief tactical tomahawk with sheath-making video

I had a customer who lives nearby come to the shop today and watch as his tomahawk's sheath was made.  He ordered a 12" War Chief (combat spike) in black, with a sheath.  He also brought tasty breakfast tacos!  :)

 
 1/4" 4140 steel, canvas Micarta handles, flared stainless tube rivets.


The sheath is Kydex, bottom-eject, ambidextrous, MOLLE-compatible, jump-ready with multiple carry options.

He chose to add a quick-detach double adjustable shoulder strap and IWB bands.


 

And here's how I built the sheath.  I had templates waterjet cut to build the Kydex molding forms, lay out holes and slots, and trim the overall outline.  Still takes time, but the results are consistent and work well.  I'll do another video in the future showing the sheath's various carry options.



 

 

Four more 'hawks waiting on sheaths and sharpening, then on to the next batch!
