Hello everybody! This is another tomahawk build, I'm sorry if the photos aren't exactly as the step says, I was doing some prototyping with a different style, enjoy. I give the user die potato, credit for recommending I do this instructable.

First you need some pipe, I recommend steel, I used 3/4 I'd tube with 1/8 wall.

Now you need some good blade steel, I'm using a powerhacksaw blade I had, stainless or a different type of high carbon will work too. Now design sketch the blade shape. Then if you want to, I didn't, you can hear treat the blade now

Now cut out the blade, I used an angle grinder, but a jigsaw or plasma cutter will work too

Now make a slit in the pipe with a grinder, take your time to check the depth, it varies on your blade shape
