Thereâs a myth that pipe tomahawks werenât made to be usedâwere purely ceremonial. Folks say the hollow drilled handle as the chief reasonâlike itâs fragile. Although there are examples of super fancy/delicate pipe tomahawks, the vast majority were made with the intention of use as weapons and tools.
If a lightweight tomahawk is made purely for striking heads and bushcraft duty, a hardwood handle can be incredibly thinâslim as a manâs fingerâand provide a lifetime of service.
The pipe tomahawks just require significantly greater handle cross section to compensate for the loss of material from the drilled hole. They can hold up as weapons and tools just fine.
I do see many examples with metal âmouth pieceâ caps on the handlesâI think a well fitted metal âmouthpieceâ cap could serve to reduce risk of crack propagation/splitting from the drilled hole. Thereâs a lot of shock and vibration from impacts in chops and throws.

The DickPick MAGNUM is made from 3/8" thick 1075âvery stout. This one is my personal carryâbefore we did some tweaks to the aesthetics. Came in handy for removing a couple of rotted out deck boards. Hammering, prying, hand drilling, piercing all packed in a handsome package. BE EDGY.

From OBX surf fishing last month. Caught this small southern kingfish, so I turned it into cut bait and got a couple of spiny dogfish. My beach EDC that dayâDickPick spiked the fish, @boyeknives Boye basic 3 for cutting it up, and Empress for braining and bleeding the dogfish. The Boye Basic is investment cast from a cobalt alloy that cannot rust. The Empress tomahawk is sand cast silicon bronze that cannot rust. The DickPIckâs 420 stainless steel is very rust resistant. Overall pretty good for salt water carry. BE EDGY.

Always carry a spike and a blade. First picture is a customer's: the MicroDickPick with a Paul Schroud friction folder. Second picture is my current carry in my sweatpants pocketâQuill, Knipex, and a Paul Schroud titanium friction folder. These cover many daily practical tasks. BE EDGY. #donglessdickpicks #everydaycarry

I remember my mentor, Jack Vargo (RIP), telling me that 18th century Eastern woodland warriors often came into combat with multiple close quarters weapons on their personânot just tomahawk and scalping knifeâmultiple tomahawks, or tomahawk and warclub, etc.
This makes sense given the numerous historic accounts of tomahawks thrown in combatâsome clearly designed to be thrownâand of warclubs left at the scene of a raid as "calling cards." A warrior does not plan to lose his only close quarters weaponâin both situations he's going to carry "extras".
Anyways, I came across these illustrations from 1796âdepicting Iroquois warriors armed to the teeth (in one case, literally a knife clenched in his jaws). These come from a book by Frenchman Jacques Grasset de Saint Sauveur. He was born in New France and later wrote about many topics, including descriptions and representations of peoples around the world.
I also own a few hand made reproductions of historic weaponsâa warclub by Cory Boise that weighs ~20 ounces; a spike tomahawk by Jack Vargo (RIP) that weighs ~13 oz, and a dagger by Joe Scott that weighs ~5 ozâall totaled ~38 oz.
And for comparison, my modern offerings enable conceal carry of multiple tomahawks plus a not-so-modest knifeâthese are my personal carry and get a lot of use, so they show the wear. The Sparrowhawk weighs under 18 ounces, this Backripper tomahawk weighs under 7 oz, and this Love Handle weighs under 7 ozâin total around 30 ounces and comfortable to wear all day long đ

Always carry a spike and a blade. When well designed, this combo can be very easy to carry and tackle a wide range of everyday tasks.
Top 2 pics are from customers, one with the Blade Tips Kirisonâa replaceable utility blade concept. The other has the Turner CNC book mark blade.
Bottom pic is my front pocket carry. Blade Tips Ripper, MicroDickPick, and Fenix flashlight.
