Tomahawk - design feature?

[Kav]

Tomahawks were used in Vietnam
As a last ditch, or close quarter combat weapon if a .45, entrenching tool or knife wasn’t available. The point was akin to the armour piercing bodkin used with yew longbows.
Tomahawks are comparatively light vs working axes and purely a fighting weapon. Think Fairbarn Sykes VS a KaBar.

Tomahawks are comparatively light vs working axes and purely a fighting weapon.

Not sure why you think that? They are a brilliant little tool and like any sharp tool can be used as a weapon.

You can also make feather sticks with a Napoleonic heavy cavalry Sabre.
