Primitive slate stone tomahawks! (Read 480 times)

WannabeBushcrafter Tiro Offline Slinging Rocks! Posts: 10	Primitive slate stone tomahawks! Nov 25^th, 2020 at 4:03pm I made a couple of primitive tomahawks out of slate and made a video documenting it. I must say that I'm really impressed with the Tomahawk design, it's such a useful tool in addition to being a powerful throwing and melee weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiHX3VUchYY

Great video!

The veggie slicing could totally be a stone age infomercial.
“Act NOW, and you don’t just get the worlds greatest slate tomahawk. You’ll also get not one... not two... but THREE sharp sticks, the Neanderthal bone knife, and two, count ‘em TWO mink pelts!”

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

I think it is authentic but not what culture made it. Heard that these are made by placing the axehead in the crevice of a tree, letting it grow around the axehead and then years later cutting down the tree and making the axe.

Hmmm not sure about that. Drilling holes isn't that difficult even if you don't have any metal.

The method I've seen you actually burn the hole out by lighting a fire in the spot you want the hole. Primitive Technology made an axe this way: https://youtu.be/BN-34JfUrHY?t=105
