Cold Steel Frontier Tomahawk - 3.25" Blade, 22" Hickory Handle

The Cold Steel Frontier Tomahawk pairs historical authenticity with genuine utility, making it equally at home on the reenactment field or at your campsite. Built with a 3.25" blade and a full 22" hickory handle, this tomahawk carries the weight and balance of a classic frontier tool without the burden—it tips the scales at just 22.4 oz, light enough to carry all day but substantial enough to handle real work. Whether you're splitting kindling, processing camp wood, or recreating the era from the French and Indian War through the settlement of the American West, Cold Steel's design delivers cutting performance that goes well beyond what you'd expect from a period-correct piece.

Hickory remains the gold standard for tool handles, and there's a reason—it's tough, responsive, and gets better with use. The Frontier Tomahawk's construction respects that tradition while delivering the kind of practical edge geometry that works in the field, not just in photographs. This isn't a wall hanger; it's a tool that's been engineered to actually cut and perform, bridging the gap between historical recreation and real-world camp utility.

Tomahawks have carved their place in outdoor tradition and working history for good reason. If you need a single-purpose, lightweight chopping tool for camp tasks or you're outfitting a reenactment impression with gear that won't let you down, the Frontier Tomahawk earns its place in your kit.
