Throwing Hawks, or Tomahawks, are a
type of ax that was originally developed by Native Americans as weapon for
hunting and for war. Pre-colonial tomahawks had heads made of stone or deer
antler, or were carved with a large heavy knob at the end. These clubs were
mainly used as crushing weapons. Europeans introduced hawks with hand-forged
metal heads that included a blade; these were traded for food and other items
on the frontier. These could be used as tools for carving, as well hand-to-hand
combat and throwing weapons. Today, throwing hawk competitions are popular
among historical re-enactors, and have been picked up by martial arts
enthusiasts.
