You can purchase replacement handles from us or directly from Dunlap. We get all of our Triple T tomahawk handles from Dunlap Woodcrafts. Our hand-forged TTT hawks will accept any standard hawk replacement handle that tapers to 1 1/8"x1 5/8". Each handle is stained and waxed for appearance and durability. It is less likely to loosen in the winter months when wood naturally dries out and can shrink. This means as normal atmospheric moisture affects the wood over time, the head becomes even more secure. Additionally, we dry our handles to a very low moisture content prior to fitting it to the head.
It is important to us to have the wood touch steel around the entire handle opening. This helps the head stay firmly in place, usually longer than heads with gaps around the handle. We meticulously fit the handle to the hand-forged tomahawk head to be sure there are no gaps. The etching (patina) is different shades of gray because the head is differentially heat-treated. In other words, these hawks are very sharp! All metal surfaces are draw-filed by hand to give them a more traditional finish versus a belt-sanded finish. Using this process produces a blade that holds an edge very well. While time consuming, this process is used because it relieves brittleness and retains more of the hardness than commonly used, faster tempering processes. After being hand forged, the tomahawk head is hardened and tempered using a 5 hour process. They each feature a head body composed of 4140 steel bar stock. Our TTT (“triple T”) hand-forged tomahawks are created by blacksmith Brian Otto right here in northern Michigan, USA. Scroll down for details on each of the above items.
