So what's a good tomahawk these days ? Looking to keep it under 50 bucks, any suggestions?

Thanks gang!

Cold Steel makes some nice ones in your price range. MSRP is higher but Midway has them in stock in your price range.

The sog is nice got it for 35 on amazon

Really like my sog but you need to order the kydex/whatever plastic sheath the one it comes with blows and doesn't allow you to securely mount it to anything

 

 

Sent from my hidden under ground bunker between Taco Bell and the dry cleaner

The one I got from amazon had the kydex sheath with it

sog also makes a smaller tomahawk

Are there any new tomahawk suggestions.  Are throwing tomahawks different than hand-held ones?  Would you want both?   What would you want to look for in a survival tomahawk?  I'm thinking I would want one with a Kydex sheath that is light and one piece as it attaches to the handle.  Would I want one with a spike on one side and/or a hammer?  Any more recent recommendations out there? 

I've been known to throw a pre-1840 period-correct Hawk once in a while.  My Club sells them to the public (both adult and kid-sized) during our Living History Encampments at places like Colliers Mills WMA (during their Outdoor Show).  In fact for a small donation, we teach the public how to throw our hawks!

The SOG is effective, well made and a bargain if you hunt around.
Always seemes to go on sale.

For something more traditional, I like these guys, price points are good, some wait time, nice variety:
