    So I'm in the market for a new tomahawk or 3. I want to keep the price fairly reasonable. I know that "reasonable" means different things to different people so I'm thinking for me the ceiling is $150. I want a "traditional" style hawk and I was wondering if anybody has any experience with HBForge? They are based in Ohio I think, and their prices are ridiculously low for what you get. I'm somewhat familiar with 2Hawks and one of their offerings is for sure getting picked up. I'm open to other suggestions as well. I'm mainly interested in polled hawks though. Thanks in advance for recommendations.

    Look into some of the offerings from Wolf Creek Forge, I have a Hammer Pole hawk, and their "production" hawk, both are amazing quality. My personal favorite of all of mine is my Swamp Rat Kill Devil

    I have some H&B hawks, including one custom. Jarrod is a great smith and they are fine people to work with.

    My wife has a 2Hawks. It is a nice cast head hawk. I just prefer the forged hawks.

    H&B forged hawks are very hard to beat for the money. wolf creek is another great hawk maker. Coal creek forge makes some damn fine hawks also. A cheap version check out the cold steel trail hawk. they are forged and run about 25 bucks. there are a lot of options out there, especially on the knife forums if you look.

    2 hawks is a nice hawk but as stated above they are cast and I also much prefer forged. He has great customer service though if you need it.

    Happy with my 2Hawks, but haven't beat on it like I should yet. I plan on looking into some of the other makers mentioned above.

    I emailed these people 3 times about getting a hawk and never heard back.

    I gave up on them.
