I have two, and a few larger pieces.

You might say I have an axe to grind with trees.

Sometimes that many can be too much to handle though.

very well
i enjoy just researching what's available and critiquing

-this shop uses ash and rosewood for the haft, and the sheath is available at extra cost. there is also tapering in the haft where it meets the head i was in touch with the crafter and they would be able to craft them with just a straight haft without the tapering so that it’s more durable. polished or rough is an option and both are in the pictures. rough costs a little less than polished.

Seeing as this thread has already derailed, if anyone wants to try something different can recommend this blacksmithing course (and sure there are others in whatever area you are in).

Why buy an axe when you can start with a block of steel and a square cut of wood and end up with your own handmade one at the end? Started with the kitchen knife one, and looking at going back again to try another course, as well as setting up a backyard $50 knife forge, but always great to learn the basics from someone that knows what they are doing.

I have a SOG and a couple of others. They all work and do what they are supposed to do. What were you planning on doing? What are you looking for? I used to compete in knife and hawk throwing. If that what you're after, start with some cheap ones. You're gonna break a few handle and maybe bend some blades. Sog sells a three pack of throwing hawks for under $100 USD. Feel free to PM me if you want a straight conversation without the peanut gallery comments. Don't judge the forum by the answers here.

Speak for yourself; my answers are awesome

Is your SOG the Fusion? That thing is a fucking razor.

Would that be like boots wherein you get to claim the cost of making your own?

At the risk of, well, many things, I'm curious what would prompt the OP or any reasonable person to think that a professional army operating in the 21st century would employ the use of something like a tomahawk. What's next, morning stars, pikes and trebuchets?

Don't go dissing the trebuchet.
