A lightweight tomahawk with a hammer poll and non-angled (or slightly angled), primary edge. Weight of around 13ish ounces and about the same in length. A more durable handle would be ideal, but a full tang is not a requirement (or even desirable, in some cases). I've considered a wooden tomahawk handle with a rat tail tang burned into it and epoxied on but that seems a bit manpower intensive.
That’s an excellent size and weight for a tomahawk
you are very busy. definitely a lot of interesting products is coming. suggestions: 1) personally, for me the most interesting would be a folding machete; "knives" are also an area where your lineup lacks punch. 2) I don't know if you've seen those sap wallets (google "coin purse sap" and look for ones that go around the belt). I've bought a few, but they are all terrible quality. I'd very much like one that is top quality and is tightly next to body (usually the part that goes around the belt is not flush with the belt). It's just functional, not talking self-defence. 3) I'd very much like to see your take on a fixed blade with handle that acts as storage (rambo). 4) variation on stone disk war club. I am thinking that the disk could be inline with the handle, so you'd essentially get a blunt axe. 5) a necklace or bracelet - don't roll your eyes- there is a viking whetstone pendant necklace, a paracord bracelet with a knife, a necklace with firesteel.... - needs to be something that is (semi) useful like those examples (not leatherman bracelet). this would allow you to reach more people, broaden your customer base, which is easier if it's something cool, relatively cheap (under 30-40$) and useful. If you mass produce it and sell it on "survival" sites it would also serve as advertising. edit: "stone disk war club" ofcourse wouldn't be made out of stone; also it just hit me, one side of the disk could be blunt and the other could be sharp, and you could have kydex sheat for the sharp side; in self-defence situation you could leave the sheat on and use it as a club or take it off and use it as an axe. I think it could be great multifunctional product. I know I'd buy it.
Really appreciate you taking your time with these suggestions. We are tip-toeing into knives and I have been interested in the style of folding knives where the blade is longer than the handle-like the WW2 era “pilot survival” folding machetes. So something like that could be pursued in the future. And the hollow handle Rambo knives are on the to-do list-we’ve sketched out concepts that are pretty radical and those will be pursued nearer-term than the “folding machete” type concept. I like the suggestions on “soft” products-like the sap wallet or necklace or bracelet. I will need to survey what’s on the market to determine where the capabilities and aesthetics presently are at, and if we believe we can create something distinct in this space. I will also ponder the “stone disk” concept-it would seem there could be a lot of space to incorporate some clever functionalities but will need to hand sketch a bunch to see what jumps out. Best regards.
Thumbs up.on the leather sap idea!
I've been waiting for a hammer pole hawk from y'all for a long time. Glad to hear one is in the works this year. I'll definitely be picking one up.
Excellent to read that-and I appreciate your orders and support
looking forward to the fulltang tomahawk, i just found out about your empress design so I'm about to get one. Never heard of a carry tomahawk but tomahawks are just awesome and practical. Also I think bladeshow is a great move for you guys, I wouldn't be able to make it but I hope its the exposure you guys could use.
Thank you for this comment and sending us positive vibes. I am feeling optimistic that good progress will be made this year.
I'd love to see a shepherd's axe walking stick made to the standards of your other creations.
this might be a good idea. "Survival Hiking Stick". hiking stick are very popular. there is survival submarket, but 99% of them are gimmicks. One good multipurpose hiking stick would be interesting. it could expand your audience. something for hiking, snake and small mammals defence and making fire in one.
That’s a lot to digest man! Looking forward to the new tomahawk design! And good luck with Blade - I do need to go again!
Ive been so excited for the lung ripper. I dont care how long it takes. Ill definitely be picking one up
Well I’m glad to read that you are patient-I think it’s going to be a while!
I am incredibly excited to see your take on a full tang tomahawk. Especially considering that you are mixing different historical elements into your design. Truly cannot wait to get my hands on it
Coming soon!
I look forward for hammer poll tomahawk, something that has more utilitarian function
Hopefully those hammer poll concepts are a hit!
Really looking forward to some of these, particularly the full tang.
Glad to read that, full tang is pretty far along-hopefully more to show in the months ahead
Love my quil and empress! Cannot wait to add to my armory!
Saps. Leather, sewn construction, weighted head. So many options from history to take inspiration from. Vicious little weapons, easily concealed. The offending villain won’t know what hit them.
Thanks for the product roadmap and the technical details regarding full tang tomahawk.
Somehow a hammer poll tomahawk that works well for hammering and 'outch-projection' seems hard to pull off. Yet, I hope you find a round peg to fit that square hole!
Good luck and don't forget to have fun!
greetings from Switzerland
Thank you for the well wishes-we will definitely keep having fun 👍
Wearable warhammer would be awesome, and you could just call it the wearhammer
That’s a great name
I'm stoked about the micro pike. I can't figure out if it'll be legal in my ridiculous city (Seattle, so probably not), but I've always loved spears, and think it's a prefect idea.
For sure illegal here, but instead of a sword-cane, I've always wanted a spear-cane; OTF blade extending from the tip of a cane, with the slide/button near the top.
First time checking out the micro pike, it’s cool seeing something different. And are those awesome love handle knifes going to be in stock anytime soon? I’m just really looking forward to getting me one. The design is awesome, and the curve of the blade man. Forget about it. Great choice of desing. Take care
Thank you for the comment and kind words. Yes we will have a small batch of Love Handles available soon. We send out a notification via email when the batch drops-that usually comes out many hours before any social media posts.
Full tang! I'm ready!
In a couple of months we hope to have more to show!
I'm really excited about your secret Tomahawk and I hope that it can be thrown. Tommy Moore does a lot of things with saps and blackjacks. Could you imagine a small tomahawk sap. Maybe at the head a flexible controllable by the thumb tool. Perhaps even a tomahawk push dagger sap. The blade between the fingers? Imagine if it was customizable maybe even Deployable from the cross draw of the belt. What about some threads even a Karambit bill or kama twist in the head. Those leather braids are outstanding.
The full tang tomahawk definitely throws well. Thank you for the suggestion on the tomahawk sap-will be thinking on this.👍
I’m in for a Micropike!
We are hoping to bring 9 Micropikes to BladeShow. No idea if they sell. Whatever we come back with will go on the site. If you haven’t done so, I suggest signing up on our mailing list for first notice, link below

@@wingardwearables I just ordered a micro dick pick and signed up! Nice work!
Thank you! 🙏
Great to see the OSS tine. Is the intention to maintain the spade point? Understanding the effort required for launch, I'm looking forward to seeing your 2024.
Our first generation Micropike has a leaf blade-good for less lethal raking and gouging as well as deep thrusts. If we expand the Micropike concept, it will include other blade designs.
Here's an interesting idea to look into for casting in blackened brass..... how about a take on the disc mace that works for modern EDC
I am not familar with that material. We do cast in bronze and afterwards patina it to a dark color, is that what you mean? Also, thanks for the mace suggestion.
@@wingardwearables aye, that's it patina bronze..... Monday brain 😅
Well I know sword-canes are out but what about a cane with a bronze t-handle, poll face with a spike …. Think wood shaft Dick Pick.
One day we may do cane-sized thing. That concept was done historically-the Nadziak was the Polish horseman’s warhammer-it evolved into a cane sometime in 1700’s-if you go on Google you can see images of antiques 👍
Zac ... Great news for 2024. Thank you for the update. The full tang hawk sounds very interesting, and I'm anxious to hear more. SUPPORT USA SMALL BUSINESSES !!!
Thank you!
Grappling hook?
since you mentioned winkler rnd, you might want to check a copy made by a guy called ancient smithy, its a fraction of the cost of winkler so it would be useful for testing out the design, main difference is he doesnt use a tapered grip tang, its the same thickness from one end to the other
I’d like to see a small edc mace….an impact weapon rather than edged.
We have some concepts in mind-I will need to revisit this idea
Full Tang Baby!
As far as future product ideas, what about a Scottish Black Knife (Sgian Dubh)? It was carried in the sock. Your new leather working capability could produce an interesting ankle carry system.
I will think on this
Full Tang Tomahawk is of most interest to me.
Affordable and original hurlbats are rarer then $2 bills.
I spend a lot of time in Maryland and Pennsylvania, how would you design it so we could carry it legally?
I am not a lawyer but will do my best.
@@wingardwearables for MD it is Title 4, Subtitle 1, § 4-101. "Star Knife" could be a hang-up unless you can get around "a device used as a throwing weapon, consisting of several sharp or pointed blades arrayed as radially disposed arms about a central disk". ""Weapon" includes a dirk knife, bowie knife, switchblade knife, star knife, sandclub, metal knuckles, razor, and nunchaku."
As for PA, I am still learning. I thought I read it was illegal to carry a knife unless it was for a "lawful" purpose, but some changes were made to knife laws in early 2023.
In both states, anything with a blade that folds into the handle is exempt.
@@matthewmorris6378 Maryland’s “star knife” was written to specifically to ban “ninja stars”. I don’t think the full tang tomahawk would quantify. It features a single blade and pointed spike/chisel projections. None are “radially disposed arms around a central disk”. It’s clearly an axe-like design, not a throwing star. Although this could function as a throwing weapon-and be a lot more effective at it vs a “ninja star”- it is designed for bushcraft/utility applications (“common lawful purpose”). I think whether you get in trouble would be due to the individual law enforcement officer’s interpretation, and again I am not a lawyer.
PA knife laws are actually quite good-recent legislation (passed in 2023) removed a lot of problematic language (see link below). However, PA does not have state supremacy, so in Philly, you cannot carry a knife/“cutting instruments” without “lawful” purpose going to and from your job, etc. This is similar in strictness to New Zealand knife laws, and actually stricter than UK knife laws. Very hard to legally carry a blade in Philly. However, there are presently no restrictions on spikes, so our Quills and DickPicks, lacking cutting edges, are not knives and are not cutting instruments, and also clearly have common lawful purposes.

I met you at the Lehigh valley show. Didn't buy anything that day, but have purchased 3 tomahawks since then and am probably going to get the love handle. So, maybe the shows have better results than you think...just delayed.
Thank you for letting me know! And really appreciate the support
Great work! Personally I'm a huge push knives fan and I've been carrying them for over 5 years. I suppose due to legal factors push daggers aren't popular enough in modern edc self defense options. I'm sure there would be market for them (Cold steel safe makers line holds up until today for over 15 years straight - that says something) - what about creating something between push dagger and Katar dagger, that would have wide blade and grip support and still be light and short enough to be carried comfortably? I got the idea as you mentioned carrying big bladed weapon in a comfortable way on a daily basis.
I am also a fan of push knives, but found that the ergonomics on most of them are bad. Also the length is pretty limited-hard to go much beyond 4” before requiring additional support (like seen on the Katars). Years ago I designed a short knife that could function both as a push dagger and a “thumb” or “lapel” knife. I may need to revisit that concept.
Micropike 🎉
Dude. Just putting this out there..... knuckles you dont have to weeve your fingers through, and easy to store and draw from just boxers.......
Just saying. Thank you man!
Interesting! Will think on this 👍
👍🏼I made it to the end of a few of your vids now. Even the long one with Ernest. :)
Love your stuff. I’m working on making a Thumper right now. I can’t really buy one of yours but I can watch, like, subscribe & share your vids. If my Thumper turns out ok I’ll make a video and give you and Ernest the credit and put a link to your channel.
Love your Thumper!🙂
Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the videos. We are slowly trying to improve video and sound quality. Also best of luck with your Thumper design. The long steel rods are fairly affordable, just a few bucks. If I had to make a “flat” warclub again, I might explore higher momentum, maybe go with a tungsten heavy alloy rod (the heavy alloy, not the brittle tungsten carbide). That would pack even more momentum into the impact zone, but those are an order of magnitude more expensive. So it’s probably more affordable to simply drill and insert more steel rods to get the mass up. Best of luck and if you make a video, please link to it in a new comment so that we see it. Sometimes we don’t get notified by comment replies. Have a great time.
have you thought about making a blackjack/sap?
A couple of folks have suggested it-we are giving it some thought
@@wingardwearables knuckles made from bronze would be interesting too
You know, I like your effort to explain stuff.
Though a guy like me needs more pictures and real-life examples during your explanations of concepts.
You see, I am not smarter than a 5th grader 😂
Keep up the good work.
We are bad at these videos-I need to plan better, film and edit so concepts make sense. One day we will get there. Thank you for enjoying the video.
How do you make the list? I’m interested in the tomahawks.

Thank you
full tang tomahak
Could you make a round stone Indian style tomahawk cast like the empress?
Can you paste a link to a picture online?
Any plans for the Empress to have the same handle as the trainer?
You mean out of the HDPE?
@@wingardwearables yes, or even a sturdier material 🤔. Would love to carry and train
dont speak, givas blades😁
What if you made the Emperess Tomahawk spike not as curved down. I sent you a email
Rgr, it was good to read your emails 👍
Sorry I'm late. Please consider making a double-edged wood handled tomahawk that we can carry IWB!
Comment 12? 😅
Shillelagh.....
