Tomahawks and Peacepipes

Tomahawks and Peacepipes

Tomahawks and peacepipes sit at the meeting point of trade goods and ceremonial objects in the eighteenth and nineteenth century frontier. The replicas here copy the iron headed trade axe, the pipe tomahawk with a hollow handle, and the decorated presentation pieces given as gifts.

These are display objects first. The handles are wood or ash and the heads are cast, so they are not for throwing, and a thrown replica will loosen the head within a few throws. Mount them on a board with a leather loop under the head so the weight sits on the wood rather than on a nail.

Choosing a Replica Sword or Blade

Replica swords are sold blunt by law in most markets, and that is worth remembering when a listing says battle ready. The blades here are stainless or carbon steel, unsharpened, with a rounded or chamfered edge, and they are meant for display, costume and drill. They will not cut, and they should never be struck against another blade.

Length and point of balance decide whether a sword feels right. A cavalry sabre balances forward and wants a wall plaque; a naval dirk or a letter opener balances in the fingers. If the sword is for a costume, check the scabbard fittings and the belt hanger at the same time, because the weight of a long blade will pull a light belt out of shape.

Common questions

Are the blades sharp?
No. All swords, daggers and knives in this section are supplied blunt for display and costume use, and the edges are not sharpened.

Can it be worn for reenactment?
Yes, with the correct belt or frog. Check the scabbard fittings and hanger weight before an event, and never strike another blade with it.

Will it rust?
Stainless models resist rust with normal care. Carbon steel models need a light oil film, especially in humid climates or coastal areas.
