Sorry, no can do. I was a pervert in Portland, OR for a while. During the winter, I stood on a street corner describing myself to the local women.

This guy?
Condor Tool & Knife, Tomahawk Axe, 8in x 4in Blade, Paracord Handle with Sheath https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I5T27YA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_yzVACbW9WVWD9
I'd recommend looking at these I've got three. One in each car and one for backpacking. There are extremely nice for the money. Use the one that I keep in my pack all the time. Edge stays sharp under normal use. The saw is great for yielding 4-6" trees to produce timber for fires.

That's the boy. It should arrive tomorrow (today being President's day and all). Yes, the 1075 High Carbon Steel will hold a great edge and the 55-56 Rockwell hardness should allow it to take a healthy amount of pounding while remaining in one piece.
As a battle implement, it should deftly cleave a skull.

The 'hawk arrived today and it is sharp on both ends! The blade has a "chopping" edge that will bifurcate a bad guy's skull as "quick as a wink". The spike is nasty! (I would hate to be on the receiving end of a blow from it).
This piece of steel is well worth the price paid. It is light enough to change direction in mid-stroke (a definite plus during an interpersonal altercation). This Tomahawk is a real piece of "hell on wheels".
The 1075 High Carbon Steel blade is perfect for the purpose. It will hold a great edge, yet can still be easily honed to a "persuasive" edge. Believe me when I tell you, this will really "leave a mark".
I can, without reservation, heartily recommend this "tactical tomahawk".

Captain O,
How do you access it in a hurry?
Tomahawk holster of some sort?
BTW, it's a beauty!

Manny:
The holster unsnaps at the top and access is a tad slow. For pure ease of access, I leave the 'hawk propped upside down right next to the bed where I can silently grab the weapon when I hear something going "bump" in the night.
This particular tomahawk isn't "right" for everyone. If you want a "Vietnam" (Lagana-type) 'hawk with a "roofing hammer" grip, I would recommend the Estwing Black Eagle Tomahawk. You can buy them on Amazon for about $37.00 (including shipping). The Estwing has a 2.75" blade and a healthy spike on the other end. The handle is filling and it is also full tang. They use 1070 High Carbon Steel and it can also change direction in mid-stroke. (I want one of these as well).
The Estwing can quickly kill by burying either the spike or the blade deeply int the skull of an opponent. I like to call them "instant mothertrucker". (Or "Aspirin for Kim Jung Un").

Captain O,
Thanks for all the great information.
Do you have something you practice on to hone your skills deploying your Tomahawk as once back when I was in Basic Training and AIT in the Army - we had practice dummies (of sorts) for bayonet practice?
Are there particular type martial arts movements with the Tomahawk?
Again harkening back to my Army experience, we had 'on guard/horizontal/vertical' butt strokes that when done efficiently were very effective...

Go to Youtube. There are a few Tomahawk videos that illustrate effective moves.

It is my pleasure. In the right hands, these weapons can be extremely effective. If a few 'bad guys' receive a "deep" hair part, my feelings wouldn't be hurt. Keep yourself safe and "watch your six".
