I went to the Midland Gun Show put on by Silver Spur. I believe the facility is gov owned but it was posted 06/07. While there i purchased a Tyler Gun Works tomahawk from Tyler Guns and More. The blade is color case hardened.

**Edit: I really should not try posting from my phone it messed up the image url, now I am at home with a computer I was able to see and fix the issue.

How does the case hardening affect sharpening it? Does it cause it to be more brittle? Just asking I'm no metallurgist.

I have not sharpened it, it comes VERY sharp, but the edge holds up well. In fact I have used it a bit and doubt that it has dulled any at all. I know that Bobby (Owner/Operator of Tyler Gun Works, and a friend since the mid 90s) is one of the top guys to talk to for color case hardening so I doubt he would sell these if the color case work did anything negative to the function. It also comes with a leather wrap for the head so that you don't cut yourself or anything you store it around/in.

Ok thanks, been looking at these type of hawks, hard to find USA made for a decent price. I'll check them out.

Tyler Gun Works sells them for $125 plus $10 S&H. He has a number of styles besides this one. You can find TGW on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tylergunworks and you can find his website at http://TylerGunWorks.com Also, if your a 1911 type of person you might want to avoid clicking those links because he has some nice looking grips for BBQ guns on there.
