Norse Hawk

Drawing its character from the broad cutting axes associated with the Viking Age, the Norse Hawk tomahawk combines an unmistakably Norse profile with the balance and simplicity that have made traditional hawks popular with throwers and historical enthusiasts. Its sweeping 4 1/2 inch cutting edge terminates in pronounced upper and lower points, giving the head a distinctive silhouette that stands apart from more conventional frontier-style tomahawks.

Axes were among the most familiar tools and arms of the Viking Age, appearing in forms ranging from compact utility axes to formidable fighting axes. Their influence continued well beyond the Viking period, with variations of the axe remaining important throughout medieval Europe. The curved profile of the Norse Hawk takes inspiration from this long tradition, particularly designs that combined a broad cutting edge with extended points around the blade. Today, that historical character makes this style especially appealing to Viking reenactors, Norse history enthusiasts and tomahawk collectors.

Cold Steel builds the Norse Hawk around a 1055 carbon steel head fitted to a 22 inch American hickory handle. The 4 1/2 inch blade provides a generous cutting edge, while the complete hawk weighs approximately 25.3 ounces. Its straightforward wood and carbon steel construction preserves the traditional character that makes a tomahawk so recognizable. For the collector looking for something with strong Norse influence, or the enthusiast who appreciates the balance and clean design of a classic hawk, the Cold Steel Norse Hawk offers a distinctive interpretation of an enduring axe form.
