Tomahawk Katanas

by Elijah
(Wisconsin)

QUESTION: Has anyone heard of the Tomahawk Trading Company? I've noticed a lot of their products on trueswords.com and their costs rival those of musashi swords. Though the prices may seem similar, I am wondering about the quality of their katanas. I've already heard a lot of opinions, good and bad, so I want to hear from someone who tested these one themselves.

ANSWER: Hi Elijah,

I am not too familiar with this brand as yet. The swords 'look' ok, but I'll open up the floor to see what others who may have actually tested them have to say.

I may be looking at trying some of these down the track to see if they are any good.

Thanks,

- Paul

tomahawk XL
by: Joe

just got one of these off craigslist yesterday. it says tomahawk 1052 XL carbon steel on the blade. and i must say it looks really nice, except for the tsuba which i would like to change, but im not sure if it even disassembles/reassembles or if its just got glue holding it all together.

it does have 3 mekugi pins which i thought was interesting, and the tsuka is pretty long, 14 inches. i payed 40 bucks for it which i dont think is that bad, considering i just wanted something to hold me over til i can afford something really nice. havnt tested its cutting yet, but it doesnt appear to be extremely sharp.

If anyone knows anything about disassembling these swords let know!

tomahawk
by: Andres

I founds some tomahawks here:

http://www.trueswords.com/tomahawk-zetsurin-full-tang-samurai-sword-p-3325.html

i don't know if this sword is a copy of the musashi zetsurin series or something, this worried me a little cause i recently buyed one of these zetsurins and the seller don't answer me if is a musashi or a tomahawk,

Anyway, if someone have experiences with these swords can give me a little feedback please.
