serviceable Tomahawks?

Hello, all.

I am a knife nerd, not a Hawk nerd! I need help seclecting a good Tamahawk for Bushcraft and splitting of wood, basically an End-all Tomahawk that will take and hold an edge, and will have good impact resistance. And a geometry that will serve the part well enough to get the job done. I've been looking for cheap Hawks, 20-30 dollars. I've considered numerous Hawks but haven't really come to a conclusion...

Anyone know of any good ones?

I was looking at a couple cold steel hawks that looked good, and I've seen Gerber Hawks suffer damage from normal use, so not considering those... Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Sal

Sorry Ron James but I can get a serviceable AXE with the almost the same weight as a hawk, Estwing's Camper's Axe...There are also the Gerber/Fiskar, Buck, etc. synthetic handled ones.

A modern version of the hawk for use by military and fire crews is a different matter and those aren't for defense but ripping apart doors or steel drums etc. by the likes of

and as you can very well see they are longer in the handle, heavier in the head and have some method available for pounding in nails/stakes
