I have a Longhunter model and like it, for what it is: a modern hawk with pseudo-traditional styling. It is small, light and well-balanced, though hard to get razor-sharp due to the convex edge. Mine just has a dark hickory handle. I use it when hunting and backpacking in modern clothing with modern guns. I also have several tomahawks and belt axes that are more historically-correct from HB Forge, Beaver Bill, and other custom blacksmiths that I carry when in period dress and hunting with a flintlock. I do like my 2 Hawks, though, when I'm not trying to portray the 18th century, and see mine as a cross between modern and classic styling. Beats the heck outta the plastic or metal-handled "tactical" hawks for sure, but the shape of the head isn't really traditional due to the curves, let alone the stampings. Got mine on sale...at full price you can get something much nicer and more PC/HC from Beaver Bill or other custom makers at a much better price.
