American Tomahawk carries on the legacy of Pete Lagana - World War II Marine Corps veteran - and is currently owned and operated by Ryan Johnson and Richard Carmack of RMJ USA, Jeff Kirkham of READYMAN and John Hickman, speed-thinker extraordinaire. Technically a group of incredibly skilled outdoorsmen capable of surviving for years with nothing more than their Tomahawk and a blade of grass. We could go into a long dissertation of military backgrounds, capabilities, achievements and good ‘ole American stories that will ignite your patriotism, however, suffice it to say that these men are determined to create one of the singularly most reliable and affordable multi-use tools you might need; for wherever your adventure might take you. We spent 3 weeks in May camping from Tennessee to Ohio, splitting wood, prepping food, hammering tent stakes, and throwing the Model 3. It's turned out to be a great all around tomahawk, we are more than happy with the results so this first group is ready to go!
What makes this one special is the multi-position handle, it is well suited in the woods or in a combative environment. We are making the handles on a 1904 Defiance lathe that was purpose built for the Rock Island Arsenal to produce Springfield 1903 Rifles. Nothing is as cool as making handles on a 119 year old Defiance gun stock lathe!
