RMJ Crafts Modern Interpretation of a Pipe Tomahawk

We don’t often cover axes here at KnifeNews (for that, we refer you to our sister site AxeNews), but when we do you can bet it’s because the axe in question is especially memorable. Case in point RMJ Tactical’s latest creation, the Patriot Pipe Tomahawk. Can you guess what’s special about it?

Practical stuff first: the Patriot’s axe head is fashioned from 6150 steel. This carbon steel is a relatively simply formula with big performance metrics in the toughness category – something that is paramount in any sort of cutting implement intended to withstand a lot of shock, such as, say, an axe. And here on the Patriot RMJ also capped off the visuals with a handsome dark patina that gives this modern tool a visual connection to the historical implements it emulates.

The handle is quite the achievement as well

The cutting edge here is 3.185 inches long, but what’s this on the other sided of the head? That’s not just a decorative ferrule, no: it’s a pipe bowl. Pipe tomahawks have been a part of many Native American cultures, and RMJ has made a modern tribute to this rarely seen construction style. Just make sure that you use hold on to the right end when you decide to toke up. A bowl screen is also included with each Patriot, along with a leather edge sheath.

The pipe bowl may be the most notable feature here, but the Patriot’s handle is also a work of art unto itself. It’s fashioned from ash, and hand-turned on a lathe designed for producing the stocks of 1903 Springfield rifles. This process gives the ash a finish that almost looks like the coarse, regular webbing of canvas Micarta. It is threaded all the way through, and on the top there is a stainless steel clean out plug for maintenance in between smoke sessions.

The first batch of Pipe Tomahawks is landing today at 11am EST/8am Pacific, but they’ll probably go fast. More will follow.
