Nita- How about a nice battle axe?
Each Eagle Talon is made from
1075 Spring Steel. The entire tomahawk is
laser-cut from a solid sheet and none of them are cast. The
heads are Carbeurized in an open flame and differentially heat treated so that the edges are hard, the body tough and springy, and handle is even tougher. This means that the hardness depends on the location. This differential heat treat ensures that the only portions that are fully hardened are the ones that need to be fully hardened. Much like the Samurai swords of centuries past, the Eagle Talon is
hardened for piercing and cutting, and springy tough everywhere else so that the weapon is not brittle. If you buy any axe or tomahawk that is fully hardened throughout the head, you will risk breaking it with hard use.
