Cold Steel CST-90AWD Fluffy Diamond Hawk Pick Axe

Cold Steel® high-quality tomahawks are precision forged from 1055 carbon steel. In the manufacture of impact tools, especially those equipped with a cutting edge, forging offers many clear advantages. With the help of various dies (hollow molds/matrices), which are connected with massive forging hammers, the steel is molded step by step into a completely homogeneous mass and pressed to achieve a uniform grain and minimize defect formation. All Cold Steel® Tomahawks are also differentially hardened: the cutting edge and the hammer's striking surface are fully hardened so they can be sharpened, while the rest of the head remains softer to cushion blows and impacts.

Spontoon Hawks
Although most tomahawks were designed as chopping or splitting tools, there was also a less common variant, the Spontoon Tomahawk. Its blade, which was specifically designed for stabbing, could cause stab wounds that were often fatal. Typically, this axe had a diamond-shaped blade or a sloping blade that was sharpened on both sides. Therefore, it was almost useless as a tool for everyday use, but as a weapon it was probably terrifying and cruelly effective.
Since modern Spontoon Hawks are extremely rare today (apart from poor imports), Cold Steel® has decided to address this deficiency. The new models are available quite classically with a sloping (slanted) or rhombus (diamond) blade. They are completely sharpenable and feature a hammerhead that mimics the appearance of a traditional tomahawk pipe bowl.

1055 carbon steel
The carbon content and relatively small proportions of other substances in this steel make it a very stable material that is free of the inherent brittleness of most high-carbon steels. This steel is ideal for blades that are supposed to have high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large knives, machetes, and swords.
