Jeff Mack Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Just got a tomahawk drift from Blacksmith's Depot, and had a question. It's not perfectly oval in cross section. One side comes to a point. Instrad of an oval, it's kind of a chubby tear drop shape. Should I grind down the raised point on the one side to make it oval, or is the ridge there for a reason? Thanks!

StephanFowler Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 no, the ridge goes towards the bit, especially usefull for foldover tomahawks but the drift corresponds exactly to the mass produced tomohawk handles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Groovy! Glad I asked first. Where does one find mass produced handles? That would save some time. Thanks! Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
