This is a remarkable and authentic piece of history - a trade tomahawk that was likely made by a British or American blacksmith during the 18th century. The tomahawk's head is in good condition despite some minor pitting, and has a distinct look with evident crude iron tool markings. The blade is designed for cutting and chopping, and was likely used for tasks such as felling small trees, building structures and making firewood. The handle of this example is absolutely original to the tomahawk, and has clearly been attached together for over 200 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe length of the head of the tomahawk measures approximately 4 inches with an edge width of 2 inches, while the handle is about 12 3\/8 inches long.

The overall length is roughly 12½”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a beautiful example of a Colonial blacksmith made trade tomahawk with its original period shaft!
